Sony Media Software Academic Upgrades

What is the difference between an upgrade license and a single box upgrade?
If your academic institution previously purchased volume user licenses for:

  • ACID Pro
  • Sound Forge
  • Vegas
  • Vegas+DVD software

you may purchase an upgrade license to update each seat on your license when a new version of the software is released. There is a minimum purchase requirement of five upgrade licenses.

Single box upgrades have no minimum purchase requirement.
To purchase a single box upgrade, you must have the most recent full version of the software installed on your PC. Single box upgrades are available for:

  • ACID Pro
  • Sound Forge
  • Vegas
  • Vegas+DVD software

What is required to install the upgrade?
For a volume license upgrade there are no installation requirements. 

To install a Single boxed upgrade, the most recent full version of the software must already be installed on your PC.

What operating systems do the upgrade versions support?
The upgrade version will support the same operating system that the full version supports. Before purchasing the upgrade version, it is a good idea to verify that your PC meets the OS support requirements listed for the retail version of the software.
