My understanding is no, you can only upgrade to 20. Magix only sell the latest version. But no harm in asking Magix sales.

Let me clarify - as I understand it v20 is subscription - I am wanting to get the last of the perpetual licenses...I see them for sale on Amazon at $400 - was hoping to get it cheaper via a legit upgrade

Yes, of course you can upgrade to 20 and an upgrade is never a subscription (there's no upgrade pricing for subscriptions). Forget scalpers on Amazon, the real link is on the official website.

Thanks I finally found it - it is not immediately obvious. Since I am only looking for a performance benefit, not functional benefit, would you happen to know if v20 is significantly faster at timeline scrubbing/editing than my v17? I have a simple Core i7-1200K with NVMe storage and a GTX 2080ti GPU. I actually use Magix Video pro X, but that will not smoothly render the terrabytes of CCTV footage I need to wade through and export clips from. I fired up my old Vegas 17 and it exports smoothly so figured it may be faster to use the latest version...

@DesertSweeper Download the 30 day trial version to find out how it performs on your system. There's a "Free Trial" button below the prices.

It should be faster than 17 for decoding media and rendering but difference will depend on the source media. Make sure your iGPU is doing decoding in 20 as you have a good one with your CPU.

Thanks @RogerS I decided to stick with v17 and am labouring away with it - it is at least very stable!
