I am willing to pay a non-upgrade price for a VALID copy of 17, with a VALID license, but only if I can trust that the new software will install and run on my PC, for as long as I need it to. WTF? Needless to say, I won't be trying that source anytime soon. So when I searched on Amazon for VMS 17, there were MULTIPLE 'suppliers', but each of them had horror stories of purchasers who had paid for 'new' copies of the software, but did not get working licenses for them, and many could not get their money back. However, suppliers such as Amazon or Best Buy could still offer version 17." Unfortunately, we cannot make offers for older versions.
That would currently be the version Movie Studio 18. "We only offer the latest versions of the programs. So my main question is: how can I upgrade to VMS Platinum 17 from my existing Platinum version 12? Is it even still possible? I see various links to download trial versions of VMS 17, including here at ZEN, I think? But I don't understand how I will get get a VALID license number for a product that the owners of the product tell me they will not sell me? I've had a user account since the old Sony days, which was transferred to MAGIX when they took over, so I recently e-mailed MAGIX support with my request, who told me: But I also understand the benefits as well as the need to upgrade to a newer version, if I can. I have been a happy camper using VMS Platinum v12 for many years now, and will continue using it as long as possible. I knew I had found the right place to continue sharing my own appreciation for all things Vegas. His emotional video explaining that 17 would be the final version of Vegas Movie Studio was both informative and heartbreaking at the same time. Hello Everybody, I am brand new to this Forum, and would like to say upfront that I am very grateful to Derek for this incredible website his passion for Movie Studio is completely understandable for so many of us who share his wisdom for a great product.
