Just bought and downloaded the V 15 upgrade from V 14.
After installing the attached BCC 3D objects I notice that all my existing full set of BCC 10 plugins have disappeared - for V15 and now also for V14 !!
The mail following the purchase links to "more information about installing and activating Boris Continuum 3D Objects Unit" but the linked page says absolutely nothing about Boris software....
Any good guesses how to remedy this ?
There's some related discussion here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/borisfx-continuum-3d-objects-unit-confusion--108347/
Thank you Nick.
I do not dare to do too much now fearing to loose my full (expensive but great) BCC10 package if I can not re-register it again because it is already registered in Boris FX's databases - so I have sent Boris FX a support ticket asking about the right way to continue from here.
When I get an answer I will share it here - since I will hardly be the only Boris Continuum Complete 10 owner who also upgrades to V15 :- )
That said it would be a good idea for Magix to update the link or the linked page about the Boris installation in the "Thank you for upgrading to V15" - mail.

There should be a VP 15 version without bundled Boris products add-ons. Some users already have complete BCC packages and shipping with a BCC 3D simply messed up their licensed BCC products. This would allow to lower the upgrade price to a more reasonable price range. As I noticed a lot of users are not willing to pay $249 $199 for the upgrade as they do not see the VP 15 worth that much.
Got this answer from Boris support:
Just so I understand correctly, you're saying that you had a full version of BCC OFX 10, and then after installing the Vegas bundle the BCC 10 full program has disappeared from Vegas' interface? If so, Close Vegas fully and tell Windows to Uninstall all versions of BCC OFX (or BCC in general, if there is no other BCC installed on the system). After that, go into Vegas again and confirm that nothing of BCC is inside - if so, reinstall using the full BCC OFX installer.
I did as described - but when it came to the re installation using the mentioned original full BCC OFX installer I had to change the Boris CC serial number shown (the number from the Magix 15 upgrade mail (a Qxxx-number) ) to the number supplied when I bought the full BCC 10 package last year (a Txxx-number).
After that the full range of BCC 10 FX'es are available and working again.

I hate it when software vendors add third party crippled product as a bundle, to charge unnecessary extra money from the customers. BCC 10 add-on should be an option, instead of throwing it in every flavor of Vegas Pro (i.e. Edit, Pro, and Suite) to charge extra $100 from customers.
Anyway, as I had discussed in other thread, I will stay with Vegas Pro 14 because I do not see a cost justification for Vegas Pro 15. Vegas Pro 14 is going to be my secondary editor, as I have already switched to Davinci Resolve for the major projects, and use Vegas only for the old projects which were done in Vegas.
