In any event, my desktop computer is still a brick as far as VPX is concerned. In the case of VPX, there is no choice, so the plugins should continue to work in future versions. If there are tailor-made plugins that expire, then they should also be made available for purchase separately with no expiry - usable in future versions, and the purchaser can decide whether or not to pay for the Premium version or get Plus and pay for the unlimited plugin separately. In that case, they should continue almost indefinitely until system changes cause them to stop working - at least a couple of years down the road. One problem that I see is that some plugins are tailor-made for Magix products and cannot be purchased separately. Now, what will happen with VPX and its plugins? So having an update that kills both the previous version and the plugins is definitely not good business practice. Not good! A weak case can be made, I guess, for plugins not continuing in future versions, but they should continue to work in the version that they came with, at the very least. As one user pointed out, he bought MEPPr a few months ago, updated and some of the plugins and VdG went stale or disappeared. They should continue to work in other versions and not expire. The difference between the price of Plus and Premium is the plugins, that are sold for money. I do not intend to pay a third time for the same version. I have Mercalli v4 twice now as Premium and VPX add-ons for which money was paid. ![]() The Vegas Forum has several threads on this as they were hit as well. For Mercalli v4, many users have complained in all languages. It was interesting to see that in the trial version of MEP2018+, almost all of my plugins worked, with the notable exceptions of Pixelan transitions (Pixelan effects work) and Mercalli v4. One of my complaints in the survey was about the speed of replies, especially about bugs. My query was whether or not the message was passed to the developers, or ignored and I have to raise a new ticket. I also asked about additional bugs that I raised just before the patch came out and the reply was that the patch had already been issued. They now have 3 emails on the ticket from me, one last Monday, the second last Tuesday with more problems, and the third one yesterday with the video showing my desktop problems. I have not received a reply back from Magix about my problems. ![]() The update request to patch 176 popped up automatically when I opened VPX on my desktop on Saturday, as it did on my Surface Pro. 2018 should not uninstall third party programs, especially stand-alones. ![]() One user in the French forum reinstalled VdG from the downloads that he kept, I believe, but this is not a good solution. As you point out, 2018 does uninstall 2017. Sorry, what I should have said was that there was no danger to me. Installing MEP 2018 certainly does uninstall MEP 2017! I can't speak for any other version since I don't have any other on my - Hi Jeff, " No, you've not got the wrong end of the stick.
