@MikeS I too have a Boris FX account. I went HERE to update to the Boris Vegas account.
Go HERE and read in #2, Do I need to create a Boris FX account? There is the link there that will take you to where you can create an account. I was asked if I already had a Boris account and entered in the info, then clicked on the blue SUBMIT button. I still haven't received my email notification yet to verify the account.
I have an active Vegas Pro subscription from MAGIX. What happens next?
Your subscription will continue as normal. Over the next 30 days, you’ll receive an email with information on how to transfer your subscription to Boris FX. If you’re a MAGIX Vegas Pro 365 Suite customer, you’ll be eligible for a free crossgrade to a Vegas Pro Plus subscription. If you need help, please contact us anytime.

So what about those who bought a version 23 perpetual licence? <sigh>
"What happens to my existing lifetime license purchased from MAGIX?
Your license remains valid under MAGIX.
If you create or sign in to a Boris FX account using the same email address used for your original purchase, your previous serial numbers will begin appearing in your account panel over the coming weeks. This is provided for convenience so you can easily upgrade to the latest Boris FX versions with ongoing support and updates."
I have a Boris FX account, but with a different email address. I wonder how to proccedd, do I change the email of my existing account? Would that work, or do I have to create a new one?
Sure, I read both of those, but neither of them say the upgrade will be free for perpetual licencees, unlike the very explicit statement above quoted from Sassylola concerning 365 licencees.
Now I suspect perpetual licence holders will be treated properly, but it is currently unclear what that will actually entail.
"How do I upgrade from a MAGIX version to a Boris FX version?
When your previous purchase serial number appears in your Boris FX account, you will be able to purchase an upgrade directly to the latest version through the Boris FX store."
I don't think anything is hanging right now. The FAQ is quite clear: paid upgrade to the Boris version, patches and updates for any MAGIX version depend on MAGIX.
A different thing is whether we like it or not. I would prefer a free upgrade for those of us who purchased VP23. Or at least a patch to fix it.
But there has not been an official announcement that I'm aware of, so there's still hope.
The new Forum looks so depressing with it's black background and dark grey text compared to the bight cheerfulness of this one! But hopefully the content will be just as helpful. Thanks guys!
