October 2, 2020 at 9:45 pmIt all depends on when you obtained a trial license. If it was after the initial release back in May, your trial license has obviously expired. Like Vegas at the moment, once your trial has expired, you’re not eligible for another. However, send me a PM and I’ll see if we can work something out. A suggestion–create an account on the Magix Vegas Pro forum at https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/vegas-pro-forum/ and send me a PM there since it can’t be done here in CC, plus this new forum layout makes it almost impossible to easily respond to new posts.
