You can legally INSTALL it on both. You cannot legally USE it on both at the SAME TIME.

I'd check the EULA, just in case. They added in Vegas 6 that you can't use the MP3 plugin for commercial purposes (which wasn't in previous versions) so I'd just double check.

But that's been the rule all along. :)

Could someone from Sony chime in on this? I noticed that the second computer (laptop) provision was not explicitly in the Vegas 6 EULA. I need to know if I'm still legal to have it installed in on two machines but only use one at a time. Is your license to Vegas 5 or 4 deactivated when you upgrade that copy to Vegas 6? I thought it was, but someone brought this up a little while ago and I didn't see an answer.

Where is the V6 EULA? I can't find it.

The Vegas 6 EULA comes up during the installation.

I'm interesting in this also.

Does this mean then that, since I can have Vegas INSTALLED on two PCs at the same time but not RUN at the same time, is it legal to run Vegas on PC1 while PC2 is turned off, then turn off PC1 and run Vegas on PC2?

Is this legal?

Thanks

same EULA as before. You can install it on as many computers as you OWN but only use it on 1 comp at a time.

It's been stated before that an upgrade isn't an upgrade liscence, it's a new liscence at a reduced price, so your old version is sitll a seperate program.

Who do you think this is, Microsoft? :D

It says: you cannot use the Software on more than one computer at a time without purchasing additional licenses..

installing = using. At least that's what I think it is. Otherwise you wouldn't have to purchase a second license anyway...

Mike, no need to turn the other PC off. It may still be used for anything else. Just close down Vegas on it before starting it on the other one.

You need to purchase more licences if you plan on using Vegas on more than one machine at the same time.
I had Acid Pro 3 installed on my home PC and my work PC at the same time with SoFo's blessing. Sony still does this.
Also, I have Acid Pro 5.0, but my AP 4.0, AP 3.0, Acid Rock 2.0 are still available for me to use.
Same with my Sound Forge 6.0 now that I have SF 8.0.
Check your Forum Settings under Software. You'll see all available software for you to use.

Sony's official word can be found in the KnowledgeBase at answer ID 455.
