Having a second Vegas on a laptop
Hi All,
I have been using Vegas from v11 through currently v14.
I still use v11 on an old (but fast, QC i7) laptop which runs XP and v11 is the last to run on XP.
On my main PC I have Pro v14, with Vegasaur which I use for importing SRT subtitles (GPS data converted into SRT with a custom program).
On the same PC I also have MSP 12 and Vegas Pro 13. I used Vegasaur on the v13 too, and I am not sure if that installation still works, since I upgraded v13 to v14.
Anyway, I am happy with v14 because it does all I need.
I now have a Dell XPS13 9360 laptop, win10 pro, and would like Vegas on that too, with Vegasaur.
What is the cheapest way to achieve that?
Could I install v13 on it and remove the v13 license from my PC? Probably not since I upgraded v13 to v14. I don’t think v13 is different to v14 in any tangible way, for 1920×1080 60fps editing. The programs appear identical. Possibly Vegasaur had different features in v14… I do need the function to import all subtitles as a single event.
I see Vegas Pro 14 on amazon.co.uk for just £170 which is far less than I paid for it and I could just buy it. Then I would just need to get a Vegasaur license…
I would appreciate any ideas.

You should get some ideas from this thread

Note that the thread title could as well be “Is there a limit on the number of machines that [Magix] Vegas Pro [14 and] 15 can be operational on?” -
Thanks – very interesting.
It speaks of v15 supporting 2 machines, and is v14 the same?
Normally only one installation will ever be running (there is only one of me) but I might be using the laptop for rendering, while editing on the desktop.
However all this implies that a floating license is being implemented, which requires internet access, and the laptop may not have that, especially when I am travelling.
I also need to check out the Vegasaur aspect.

Magix Vegas Pro 14 and 15 licenses are similar. Pls read the points 9, 10, and 11 in the link Mike K mentioned in his post in the other thread. I (and many others) have VPro 14 and 15 installed on 2 devices and can use them simultaneously.

OK; many thanks.
I will install the last exe install I have:
VEGAS_Pro_14.0.0.270_update_Retail_x64.exe
and see what happens.
BTW Vegasaur have confirmed I can use the same license (.lic file) on all my machines, which is really nice.
