License Issue in Vegas Pro 18, 20, and Possibly All Versions on

Hello Vegas Pro Team,

I hope you are doing well. I’m writing to report an issue with Vegas Pro versions 18 and 20, both purchased through Steam. Whenever I try to open the program, I encounter the following message:

Error Code -59
Then, a window appears stating that I don’t have a valid license.


 

I hope you can resolve this issue so I can get back to editing my projects.

Best regards.
