Installation Question-How many computers?

bcf1ca wrote on 3/24/2023, 11:32 AM

Hello;

I am a long-time-ago user of VProX in various versions; I'm thinking about "coming back to the fold" and buying a subscription to VPro X14. One question I can't seem to find a clear answer to is this: on how many computers am I allowed to install the program? I expect that I can't use it on more than one computer at the same time, and will likely mainly use on my home desktop system but I also travel occasionally and want to be able to edit videos on my laptop while I'm away from home. Does this violate the EULA?

Thanks in advance.

Barry

Hi,

Why subscription?

I think that you are allowed only 1 computer for a subscription but it could be two.

For non-subscription (new or upgrade), you can have VPX activated on 2 devices at the same time. You can deactivate one to add another one (third, fourth).

Since you already had VPX, you qualify for the Upgrade price.

As @browj2 says you can have the program on as many machines as you wish but only two can be active at once (with the non-subscription version) but you could be limited to changing an activated machine to once a month per activation key.

I am with John on subscription but due to you getting access to additional content, if you are a YouTube creator you may still get copyright strikes as the material supplied would need an additional licence for use where a profit could be made from using the content. Even then it can go back and forth trying to sort out copyright strikes even with having the correct licencing.

I am also not sure how many copies of the subscription version you can have.

Thanks to you both for your response. I have purchased the subscription version and have determined that 2 computers can be activated on the subscription. I'm looking forward to my first project. Thanks again.

From MAGIX Sales Dept. / Customer Service Manager in Lübbecke DE today:

"the subscription can only be used on one device at a time."

Trying to confirm this once again "on the other side" :)
