Will I get to keep my copy of Vegas Pro 19 after I finish my Vegas Pro 365 contract this year? I'm worried that if I cancel my contract before the last month ends I won't be able to keep my copy of Vegas Pro 19 that I paid for. To be honest I don't mind continuing to pay for Vegas Pro permanently as long I do get the new updates as they come out. I plan on canceling my contract so that I can keep my copy of Vegas Pro 19. Will my copy remain fully functioning on my computer, except I won't get updates? If I do keep paying for my Vegas Pro 365 contract how can I get the new updates? I still haven't gotten Vegas Pro 20 even though I'm still paying for Vegas Pro 365, I'm on the latest version of Vegas Pro 19. If I decide to reinstall windows or move to a new computer will I be able to download and install my copy of Vegas Pro 19 and activate it? I'm aware that I would need to remove my copy from the original computer before moving to a new one. The fact that they call it a contract makes me think that I would own it when I'm done paying for it. I'm pretty sure I have searched everywhere trying to find the answer to this, hopefully I didn't miss some obvious answer. Thanks for any help anybody can give me on this.

If you have a perpetual license (not a subscription) for your VEGAS Pro, you can keep using it.

"For subscription users, you can use the software for as long as you have an active subscription. When the subscriptions runs out, so does your right to use the software." (From here)

"if you are just trying to upgrade to the latest version of VEGAS Pro as part of your 365 subscription, just download the latest version when it comes out (19, later this month) and put in your VEGAS 365 serial number, it will work" (From here)

If I decide to reinstall windows or move to a new computer will I be able to download and install my copy of Vegas Pro 19 and activate it?

"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." (From the main FAQs p. 9)
