Unusual issue.

I usually only had one or two questions. Try contact support.

Bookmark this page for direct links to VEGAS products. You shouldn't have trouble downloading them this way: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-where-can-i-download-vegas-pro-and-other-vegas-software--104782/

Occasionally, I've had 3 to 4 Captchas with Vegas which does get tedious when it goes on repeating itself always with the same image questions (e.g traffic lights, motorbikes, buses). But not always with MAGIX - it happened yesterday with a completely different company.

Please, you just can't leave out those dang "crosswalks", the crosswalks for goodness sakes. LMFAO!

I've had it myself, but not to the extent of the OP.

So, I don't think they will be getting rid of it any time soon.

As for downloading updates, I never had a CAPCHA when downloading from within Vegas Pro.

There haven't, to my knowledge, been any other similar reported problems so maybe it's something unique to your system? Best you contact Magix direct to tell them about your unfortunate experience. There's a Support button at the top of this forum.

Individuals with certain visual challenges generally report nothing but confusion and deep frustration with Captcha. Furthermore, Captcha's arbitrary decisions to incllude or not include small portions of the key image as existing in a certain square are a monstrous source of frustration for certain individuals with visual-spatial brain function. You may choose to take my word on that.

If my complaints haven't been heard loudly enough to register on this forum, I promise they have been heard by my nearby neighbors. More than once.

Having a visual-only identifier for access to certain web pages is at its least biased against certain individuals, and the practice may actually fall under the protections of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

I woul love to see my last conjecture put to the test of litigation ;?)

Checking the "remember ..." ("me" or "this computer") reduces this annoyance pretty much for me.

But I bet anyone using the "private" or "anonymous" option in their browser will not have any luck with this option.

I feel the same way as OP about capcha. I don't normally allow any new cookies from anyone to persist after browser (Firefox) exit. But if I put a site in a cookie white-list while I temporarily disable security, it's login and password cookies will get stored with the "remember me" option and remain after I re-enable security. Thereafter I get auto-logged in with no captcha nonsense. Which continues to work until the site alters its login scheme... in which case I gotta do it again. That seems to only happen every once in a blue moon.

Yes, they can be a PIA. Sometimes using a VPN raises alarms. You might snooze or turn it off before hitting the download page.

Ok, some rather silly explanation, but functionally effective: Google's captcha is designed to tell people versus bots and algorithms. So at responding you are supposed to answer like a -feeble- person and not like an efficient, perfect machine...

I know it sounds awful really, but doing so has significantly reduced the number of Google's captchas I've been required to answer before the system approves me.

So yes, you don't mark ALL the options with parts of a motorcycle, a traffic light or whatever. You only mark those few which mainly shows the thing. Do not mark those with the tiny bits, or with the columns that actually hold the traffic lights, just those spaces with the LIGHTS on them. In case of doubt or fear you might be leaving out details, don't.
Just mark what a person with bad sight and not much care would do.

Such criteria talks badly of what these people devising the system actually think of people's ability versus machines, but works wonders!
BTW, congratulations most surely you are a perfectionist and a very detailed worker in your graphic tasks...
