Backward Compatability
I have Vegas 6 at work (I do video for a school district), and Vegas 5 at home. I sometimes like to work at home, but the Vegas 6 project files won’t open in 5.
Is there a solution to this problem that I don’t know about?
Since I’m the only user on my work machine with Vegas 6, does the license allow me to install it at home as well? It seems a little vague to me. But because there’s only one person ever using the program, I thought it might be okay for the second install.
Any thoughts?
Here’s was the EULA says:
“non-exclusive license to use the Software on one (1) computer at a time upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. ”
It doesn’t say Install, it says Use. Since I will only be using the software on one computer when I’m at home and only one computer while I’m at work, it sounds like I’m safe. Or am I dreaming?

Legally, it can be installed on two machines as long as both are not being used for editing at the same time. Not sure if the fact that one is “work” and the other is “personal” would make a difference.

Thanks. I figured as much, but didn’t want to be deluding myself.
I took a look at After Effects and it specifically says you can install a copy on a “home” or “mobile” computer in addition to your work computer. So, hopefully, it’s the same for Sony apps.
I know I could probably just do this and shut up about it, but I want to be legal.
