Reinstalling Magix Vegas Pro 13 on another Pc?

[László Kovács] “Those who need 3 or more system have sadly bad luck :(“
No, if you have more than 2 system you can deactivate one of your systems and activate the 3rd one. This is also how Adobe works. Only 2 systems can be active at the same time but you can install it on as many system as you’d like.

For those of you curious, and to prove I’m “not crazy”. Here is the original scan from a printed page I kept from Sonic Foundry talking about how many installs you can perform. 10570_installationeula001.pdf.zip
As you can see this document says “on as many machines are you own, as long as you are not running the programs at the same time”
I am not sure when SCS changed the EULA. I’m still thinking SCS changed it to more closely match what MAGIX had before they took over.

Thank You Jorma,

MAGIX allows for 2 installs on 2 systems.The difference is Sony required license maintenance after 5 installs in any one calendar year, where the MAGIX applications allows 2 at any one given time and actually has a safeguard in place. Licenses can be maintained on the user’s MAGIX account. If 2 installs exist, and the user wants to install to a third PC they have to deactivate from one of the other PCs.
In short, the number of installs allowed has not changed. There is just a different safeguard in place.
The previous generation of MAGIX applications required online verification monthly, however, the current MAGIX apps do not require the user to be online after installation. The license is tied to your account and it is still verified. Online activation is required, however the machine does not need to be online after activation.

Good news. 🙂
So that means we can saefly take our laptops to the field, where there’s no internet connection, and we won’t be surprised by a deactivation because of unsuccessful licence check.
Thanks!Best regards

The current Sony EULA stipulates the license is for one user, it can be installed on 2 PCs for the same user, and cannot be used on 2 or more PCs at a time. https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/corporate/eula
“Sony grants you a limited license to use the Software on two (2) computers or mobile devices, as applicable; provided that the Software may not be used on two (2) or more devices simultaneously”.
The old EULA for previous SCS apps allowed for 1 install and 1 back up
“Sony grants you a limited license to use the Software only on one (1) computer or mobile device, as applicable, and you may create one (1) back up copy of the Software”.
MAGIX allows for 2 installs on 2 systems.

Did you officially jump ship from Vegas then?

[Nathan Keast] “Did you officially jump ship from Vegas then?”
Yea, I haven’t used Vegas Pro in over a year now. The last version I used for production work was Vegas Pro 12. I never did anything serious with Vegas Pro 13. I edit with Final Cut Pro X now 100%.
