MADISON, Wisc.—Vegas Creative Software has announced what it is billing as an industry-first new pricing model called Vegas Pro 365+ that combines the best of both worlds, perpetual licenses and subscriptions as part of the Company’s SmartScription program.

For customers, this means that after two years, if they decide to cancel their subscription, they are entitled to get a perpetual license for the latest version of their product. With this, they can keep using Vegas Pro for as long as they like, so they will never lose access to their projects. No other content creation platform in the industry offers this level of flexibility for their subscriptions. 

Given Vegas Pro’s annual release cycle, every Vegas Pro 365+ subscriber will typically get access to three consecutive releases. As such, it is also the smart choice for customers who prefer owning a permanent license, as they save 40% compared to purchasing a perpetual license and two upgrades, the company said. 

During the time of their subscription, they benefit from all the special value features and functionality exclusive to subscription, such as cloud storage, cloud-based Text-to-Speech, and access to Vegas Content royalty-free HD video/audio clips. 

Vegas Creative Software caters to the diversity of content creators with a variety of products to meet their specific requirements and budget, whether they favor perpetual ownership or subscriptions, the company said. With today’s announcement of the new 365+ option, Vegas Pro 21 is offering the smart choice for both of these preferences.
