Whenever I open Magix Movie Edit Pro I get a popup to update. when I clicked the button it started updating but I stopped. my current version is 19.0.1.23 (UDP3). is an update to 2020 free? how long Magix gives free update? is all my existing version project files work in 2020?
MEP 2020 is version 19! The latest release is 19.0.2.58, so you are at least one patch behind.
You say you were offered the update from within the program, clicked the button but I stopped. This suggests you stopped the update process. Why?
When you first buy the program or later pay to renew your Update Service, you are then entitled to receive ALL updates and upgrades to the program for twelve months from the date you actually paid. So, if you bought the app, or renewed your Update Service on, say, January 1st 2020 you will receive ALL updates and/or upgrades released up to January 1st, 2021, at no extra cost.
As far as I can remember, I have not seen any reports that updating to the latest version affects existing projects in any way.

Hi,
One year from when you last paid. Please see the Update Service details on Magix.com. You should be aware of this, including the details.
To see the end date of your Update Service, go into your account.
Your projects will work in MEP2020, especially because you already have it. 19.xxxx is MEP2020. Just update to the current patch, 19.0.2.58.

From the day you paid, or the day you installed the software from DVD? I bought mine in a box. Waited a few months before installing. I don't think that Magix knows when I bought the boxed software.
