Reinstalling Magix Vegas Pro 13 on another Pc?
Hey there,
thanks for taking the time to read this thread. Please note im not a pro at Vegas so i do not know very much about it, but already a little bit. So, my Question is, am I able to reinstall Magix Vegas on another Pc later? At the moment i am having a Notebook, yet powerful enough to use Vegas, but late this year I want to get a new Desktop Pc. If I buy Vegas now and install it on my Notebook, is it possible to reinstall it on the new Pc I am going to get without buying it again?
Thank you for any response, they are really helping me ot a lot ;D

As long as you deactivate and uninstall it from your notebook first, It should be ok….

So, it appears that Magix is changing what SCS had in terms of the number of PC’s I could install software onto? I just read it, and it appears they are saying you can install the number on only the specific number of licenses you have. I thought under SCS we could install Vegas Pro onto as many systems as we own. (2 Desktops, Laptop as long as they were not used at the same time)
Am I reading this incorrectly now?

THAT would be a major blow to those of us who have it installed on numerous computers, yet only use one at a time.
So now when I go to make changes to a project at a clients place, or coffee shop, instead of taking my laptop and a copy of the Veg file and footage, I either need to deactivate my huge editing suite computer or buy a second licence??? WOW!Here is hoping that ISN’T the case!!!

Well, for starters, I didn’t realize I could put vegas pro 13 on different computers so I’m fairly annoyed at myself for not realizing! I really need it on pc and laptop.
Anyway, I will soon have a new computer so need to check this also. I have vegas pro 13 and don’t want to upgrade to magix because i’m about to purchase captionAssistant for pro 13, and will eventually have to re-locate both of these onto a new pc.
Thanks. -

WOW, that is outrageous! Even Adobe (the evil empire) lets you install CC on two computers at once. Almost every editor I know has a laptop and a desktop. What is MAGIX thinking?
Makes me happy I moved to the Mac. I have Apple Final Cut Pro X installed on all 4 of my Macs and Apple doesn’t expect me to pay a penny extra. 😉

This is from the EULA link given by Steve Rhoden.
3.1 Together with the MAGIX Product you will receive an individual serial number which you must enter during installation. A one-time registration as well as online activation are also required. Using the serial number, you can activate the MAGIX Product for the number of Computers specified in the serial number; each Computer will be assigned a License Seat. If the number of License Seats specified in the serial number is exceeded, a license seat must be deactivated in order to activate the product again.

Hi,
I wasn’t even thinking at all about this can change…
At the very moment I have Vegas pro 13 installed (and activated) on both my desktop and notebook.
On my desktop updated my V13 to build 545 (a MAGIX build) at hte moment I found Vegasaur 2.7.
Now, I updated my notebook as well. I see no problem so far, but asked about the situation at Magix support.
I’ll report back if get an answer 😉Best regards

I don’t believe this pertains for Vegas Pro 13. That ws a Sony product that you purchased under the Sony EULA and MAGIX has agreed to honor it. Sony has no notion of “deactivation” so it would be impossible for this to apply to Sony products.
It sounds like starting with MAGIX Vegas Pro 14, there is now a license key and an Activation and Deactivation that will only allow one computer to use the software at a time. This could be a deal breaker for many people with a laptop and desktop.

Do let us know.

License Verification looks a potential deal breaker as well unless I’m reading it wrong. Say you’re away in the wilderness shooting and editing, no internet or phone connection and oops your Vegas software needs to phone home to verify in order to continue working………

It didn’t say anything about needed to verify after activation. I agree that would be a huge deal-breaker.
It only said that you would need to activate and deactivate to use more than one PC. I have plug-ins that require activation but then they work without an internet connection after that so hopefully that is what they are planning but the limit of 1 PC is still extreme, IMHO.
