Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

Yes, I am sure you can gift the software but please read this pinned post and follow the advice given there.

@Barry-Vaughan You need to create a customer account at Magix to install and use the software.

So, you either can create an account in her name (which might be legally problematic), or create an account for yourself and later simply change the account owner, e-mail and password so that the account becomes her own.

You don't need to buy anything yet. You can install a 30 days free trial first and try things out. Just make sure that you both have enough time to test the software before you decide if it is worth it. But be aware that certain features are not available in the trial version.
