    Can some one tell me if Vegas Pro 8 has the option on using one licensed copy of VP8 on my desktop & also the ability of being able to change-over the activation to a laptop when needed.
    This ability exists in Photoshop but am hoping this is true with Vegas Pro 8. Thanks

    You can do whatever you want (within reason, of course) with your copy of Vegas 🙂

    Here’s the official answer, direct from Sony’s Knowledgebase.

    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.

    Mike,
    Thank you very much for the response. This will make life much easier for me. I should have my VP8 up & running in a day or two & am looking forward to it.
    Now all I have to do is find if my Boris Red 4.x will work with VP8.

    Oh yeah. And, the PMW-EX1 camcorder would go perfectly with your VP8. 3 x 1/2″ CMOS chips full HD 24p true 16:9 aspect, 2 x XLR audio !

    You’re right Earle. I loaded VP8 up this am & also downloaded the upgrade for that & DVD Architecture. I’ve learned how to use the clip browser that came with the EX1 & am looking forward to burning a Blu-ray with VP8 & seeing how nice the HQ mode at 35mbs comes out.
