Upgrade to Vegas Pro 14 ?

Hi,

I'm a Vegas Pro 13 owner and recently went to the Sony site for an upgrade, only to learn I missed the transfer of ownership to Magix of this product line.

I was redirected to the following page from Sony's site:

http://www.magix.com/int/support/welcome-to-magix/?utm_source=sonycreativesoftware&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=redirect&cnt=_buy_upgrades&cat=Product&lang=en

I previously tried various upgrade methods of contacting Magix via the information provided in that page, all of which came back as being sent to invalid addresses.

So, this has not inspired confidence in the new ownership of the Vegas line, unfortunately.

Trying one more time, I am curious if there *is* a method via Magix' site to upgrade my version and if this product line will be supported over time - especially considering that it's still listed under "Video -> other" in these forums, for example.

Thanks for your consideration.

You may upgrade your software to the current version and take advantage of discounted upgrade pricing here:   https://support2.magix.com/customer/de/vegas/upgrade

Upgrade pricing is also made available through email blasts which are sent out periodically for users who have purchased and activated software. Those promotions can and often do, offer reduced prices as well as other perks during the promotion time.

Thanks eric_d , my software was purchased and activated with Sony at the time, so perhaps my email address was not added to any email blasts for this upgrade - at least, I haven't seen any yet. That's why it was a bit of a surprise to see the change in ownership for me.

I still feel strongly that Magix should consider checking the links/addresses from the page I mentioned above, which Sony still links to.

The link you provided works, thanks again.

I too have the Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13, when I click that link and add my serial I get an offer to upgrade to... Magix Movie Studio Platinum 13? Is that right, that I need to pay 40 dollars for the same version, rather then upgrade to 14?
