Did you ever get this issue resolved? Just curious as to what the resolution was/is.

Thanks.

Hi,

Ok, I was just wondering if they mentioned anything to you.

Thanks again and have a good upcoming weekend.

Hi László,

Did MAGIX indicate to you if the 5 day waiting period is going to be the “norm” for them or is this just during the transition phase still? Since SCS is redirecting all product pages concerning Vegas, ACID, etc., I would have assumed the transition phase has ended.

I emailed support on Wednesday and nothing yet, but that is still within in the 5 days. I really hope 5 days is not the New Norm going forward.

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.

I just found the copy of the FAQ from SCS but It appears a bit shorter than it was before. I have to check to see if there is an archive of it.

But it appears for one, they indicated you could activate Vegas on 5 systems like before. That no longer appears to be true.

Don,

I’m glad you brought those items up. I am seriously hoping that ( Eric) MAGIX does not Renege on that they promised Vegas would not go down this route. The Questions that used to be posted on SCS website indicated that Vegas Pro would require a one-time online verification to get it registered and activate the software.

If MAGIX requires online verification periodically , I’m done with this program. I am getting tired of companies trying to restrict valid users. It has been brought up many times already, but when valid users are required to go through hoops only the criminals will have an easier time using the software. I know this was a bit off topic, but I had to voice my opinion.

Sorry,

I should have posted the entire PDF of the most current EULA from SCS.

10535_sonycreativesoftwarecorporatesoftwareeulaandprivacystatement.pdf.zip

Here it is.

Well, Looking at the most current SCS version, it appears they updated it. It appears different from the previous version which I cannot access yet.

Screenshot here:

So, maybe they changed their EULA to match what MAGIX had prior to the sale?

I have to find my original printed copy I kept at home.

“BTW, SONY also allowed only 2 installations…”

I’m pretty sure that is inaccurate. They took the same EULA that Sonic Foundry had and indicated you could install the software onto as many PC’s as you own as long as they were not used at the same time or in a rendering farm. Use Waybackmachine to read the EULA of both Sonic Foundry and SCS. I have a copy and I can post once I scan it to PDF.

Hi László,

Is that Vegas Pro only or any product they update from the SCS line going forward? Two PC’s only then?

Thanks for updating.
