Hi, I have 9 days left of a free trial of Vegas Pro, which includes Vegas Effects.  I was using Vegas Effects fine last week, but tonight when I went to open it up, the following message appeared - “You must activate VEGAS POST before you can use VEGAS Effects.”  Could you please tell me what is going on, as this is very frustrating.  I really want to purchase Vegas, as Adobe has been annoying me, but I won’t purchase it if I can’t test it out.  Best, Sean.

P.S All I can access at the moment is Vegas Pro 18.  When I go to activate Vegas Post, it says ‘ Vegas Pro 18.0 is already installed’.  If Vegas Post is Vegas Pro 18, why do I get the error message about Vegas Effects not opening up?  

Please reply soon, otherwise I’ll be forced to go back to rip-off Adobe.
