As far as we know, "the customer support people will continue to help people troubleshoot the product". And "if someone would like to purchase it, they will still be able to". You need to contact the Sales team to confirm.
It's not listed in the product pages any more though. It is no more included with either VEGAS Pro/ Pro Suite or VMS Platinum/ Suite AFAIK.
I hope they keep it as a legacy product. It was one of the last remaining programs from which you could make a DVD. It might seem like DVDs are dead, but you wouldn't know that from looking at my living room. For independent filmmakers and others, DVDs are still a great way to promote your work off-the-grid, self distribute, and promote whatever you want without the fear of being censored by online streaming, which is full of restrictions. Adobe killed Encore several years ago, and as long as DVDA is solid (and it is), I would hope they keep it somewhere on the shelf.
Just upgraded to 18 because I needed to make a DVD-DL for a client; discovered Architect isn't there. Surprised and not pleased. How about just giving it away to customers as unsupported software?
My understanding is that DVDA is still available if you approach Magix sales but it will probably not be free. Refer to vkmast's post further up for a link.

Any previous version of DVDA will work fine. Not much was changed between version 5 and 7.
@EricLNZ Thanks for the quick response. I previously checked my products in my account. It only has DVDA Pro 7. I don't see a separate listing for DVDA Pro 6. I do see the previous Sony Vegas Pro 16 version and the Pro 18 I purchased a few months ago.
@EricLNZ Hey Eric unfortunately it appears the bundle in Vegas Pro 16 also has the DVDA version 7 not version 6. So is there anywhere I can go to download DVDA version 6. I still have my license key info in an email from when I purchased it several years back. Let me know. Thanks.
