Vegas Pro 2027: Free Upgrade and Installation FAQ

Learn who qualifies for the included Vegas Pro 2027 upgrade, how to install the correct edition and extras, and how Upgrade & Support works.

Am I eligible for a free upgrade to Vegas Pro 2027?

Vegas Pro 2027 is included at no additional cost for customers with an active Vegas Pro subscription or a perpetual license whose Upgrade & Support coverage included the release.

To check your license and coverage, sign in to your Boris FX account. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, contact Boris FX Support before purchasing an upgrade.

How do I install my upgrade through the Boris FX Hub?

  1. Open the Boris FX Hub. Sign in with the Boris FX account associated with your Vegas Pro license. If needed, download the latest Hub.
  2. Select Vegas Pro. On the Hub’s All Products page, select Vegas Pro to open its product page.
  3. Choose your edition and year in the Hub. Select Vegas Pro, Vegas Pro Plus, or Vegas Pro Ultimate to match your license. Then select 2027.
  4. Review your included extras. The extras list changes based on your selected edition and year.
  5. Install the app and extras. Install Vegas Pro 2027, then install any included extras you’d like to use. Follow any activation prompts.

Why can I choose both an edition and a year?

These are separate selections. The edition determines your package: Vegas Pro, Vegas Pro Plus, or Vegas Pro Ultimate. The year determines the release you want to install, such as 2026 or 2027.

To get this upgrade, choose your licensed edition and select 2027.

How do I install the extras included with Plus or Ultimate?

On the Vegas Pro product page in the Hub, select your licensed edition and 2027. The page will display the extras associated with that edition and year.

Install Vegas Pro 2027, then install the extras you want from that list. Extras are selected on the product page; they are not a separate step within the Vegas Pro app installation.

Do I need a new serial number?

No new serial number is needed for login licensing. Sign in with the Boris FX account associated with your eligible license. If prompted, choose the option to use your login license on this computer.

What is Upgrade & Support?

Upgrade & Support is a plan that provides access to new versions released during your coverage period, plus technical support.

Every perpetual Vegas Pro purchase or perpetual upgrade from Boris FX includes 12 months of coverage, beginning on the purchase date.

Is Upgrade & Support a software subscription?

No. Your perpetual license remains usable after Upgrade & Support ends. You can continue using the versions covered by your license.

A software subscription requires an active subscription to continue using the software.

Will my Upgrade & Support plan renew automatically?

Yes. Your plan automatically renews after its 12-month coverage period at the standard renewal price unless you turn off automatic renewal.

You can review and manage your renewal settings in your Boris FX account.

How do I turn off Upgrade and Support automatic renewal?

Sign in to your Boris FX account and update your auto-renewal settings.

For step-by-step guidance, see Upgrade & Support for Vegas Pro perpetual licenses.

Turning off automatic renewal does not end your current coverage or affect your perpetual license.

What happens if I don’t renew?

You retain access to the versions covered by your perpetual license. Releases after your coverage ends are no longer included. Accessing those releases requires an eligible paid upgrade or renewed coverage; reinstatement pricing may apply.

I’m a subscriber. Do I need Upgrade & Support too?

No. New versions are already included with your active Vegas Pro subscription. You can use them for as long as your subscription remains active.

What if the Hub shows a trial, my extras appear incorrect, or my license isn’t recognized?

Check the following:

  • You’re signed in to the Boris FX account associated with your license.
  • Your selected edition matches your license.
  • You’ve selected 2027 on the Vegas Pro Hub page.
  • Your subscription or Upgrade & Support coverage qualifies you for the release.

If the issue continues, contact Boris FX Support before making another purchase. Include your account email, licensed edition, and a screenshot of the Hub page or error message. Do not include your password or payment details.
