Vegas Pro 18 with Spectralayers 7 included purchased from Magix18/9/20

I purchased an upgrade to Vegas Pro18 with Spectralayers 7 included as an incentive on 18th September 2020. Due to issues with Covid I am only now looking to install and find my link for activation/downloading of Spectralayers 7 expired after 90 days. No mention was made of the link expiring before I made prompt payment. Sprectralayers 7 does not show in my products area on Magix so how can I install it now? Cannot find any help online. No emaills arrive after the original order to warn a 90 days link would expire. Does anyone have experience with what happens when 90 days expires on the bundled software?

Will Magix or Steinberg honour this promise now the link has expired? If not this looks like manifest unfairly treatment and mis-selling. Having spent a lot of money over the years on software purchases both from Magix and Steinberg I am not impressed with this methodology and lack of information regarding what looks like an after contract/purchase imposed 90 days Penalty!

Hi Christopher and welcome to the Magix user to user forums for VPX and Movie Edit Pro. Vegas have their own forums on a different website but the End User License Agreements on both state in section 3.3 that third party effects have to be registered within a 90 day period so you may have lost the ability as another different plugin is now possibly being offered. This thread will probably be closed by the mods soon so you need to ask your question at the Vegas Forums.
