Vegas Pro 365 (v19) activation on more than 1 PC.

I understood that 2 activations were possible with this software so can be used on a desktop PC to render and on a laptop to edit in the field. At no time will both be used. I have used one activation for the desktop but will not allow me to activate the laptop without deactivating the desktop. I hope they are not expecting me to purchase another license for this scenario.

Thoughts please?

Thanks - John

From this FAQ, point 9. "How many computers can I use VEGAS Pro on?

You can use VEGAS Pro (14.0 and later) simultaneously on 2 devices. VEGAS Pro 365 can be used on 1 device at a time.

To deactivate a device, so you can activate a different one, visit your MAGIX account > My Products > Show More Details > Deactivate. This option can be used only once a month.

In VEGAS Pro 14.0 or later, you can also choose Deactivate the Software on this PC from the Help menu. This option can be used as often as you wish. An internet connection is required."

That is what I am seeing. Wonder why my older Vegas versions are OK but fact I pay a guaranteed amount each year to upgrade I am denied ability to do editing where I like on 2 devices at different times. The laptop is not powerful enough to render in any decent time but is OK for basic editing. Oh well better install an older version on the laptop to do that basic stuff. Thanks.
