Sony Vegas PE 8.0 to 8.0d
I bought Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0 a while back, loaded it on my desk top computer and used it successfully. Some months later, like this past weekend, in a hurried situation I needed to use my laptop and loaded the same program on my laptop without giving any thought to whether that was permitted.
Now I’m having some issues with my desktop computer and thought I might solve my problem by re-installing the program. When I attempted this I got a message that said the program I was about to install was older than the one already on my computer. Hmmmmmm. It has been so long since I used the program I don’t remember if I received updates or what. Anyway, I looked back and now see that the version I have on my desktop in 8.0d. For the life of my I can’t remember how I got the “d” version on my computer. The one I’m trying to re-install of course is 8.0. So I’m wondering what to do. Is there an update I need to get to add to the disk I have? Did I screw up somehow by loading the software on my laptop, is lat illegal? Can I go ahead and re-install the 8.0 and then go somewhere to get the updated version? -

It is not illegal to install the program on multiple PCs/laptops, as long as you use only one of them at the time.

Get the latest version of it on the Sony site.
Sony allows you to install the program on as many computers as you want as long as you’re only using it on one computer at a time.

Question
Can I run my Sony Media Software application on more than one PC?
Answer
Our licensing agreement permits you to install the software on as many machines as you own, as long as you are not running the programs at the same time. For instance, you can install the software on your home machine and on your laptop. You are not allowed to install the software on multiple machines if you are going to be using them simultaneously, such as in a home studio setting. If you are going to run the software concurrently on more than one machine, you would need to purchase a separate license for each computer.
Note that when you install the software on a different computer you will need to complete the registration process again. Register the software as you did the first time to unlock the program on each machine. You can register online directly within the software, via the phone, or on our website through our online form.
