I purchased the Edit Pro 2020 online, downloaded two files, after installation I can use 30day trial code to start the program, but after running the activation file: " 2. activate volume license", the program wouldn't start. When click the icon, a sandglass comes out for 5 seconds and disappeared, then no any responds, no error code. Win10. thanks.

Hi

. . . .Edit Pro 2020 online, downloaded two files, after installation I can use 30day trial code to start the program, but after running the activation file: " 2. activate volume license", the program wouldn't start. . . . .

Activation of the program is done online and you see this dialog the first time you start the program

Where did you buy Movie Edit Pro 2020 from?

Volume licensed products are intended for businesses, schools, colleges etc where they have multiple - tens to hundreds of copies of the program running with the same serial number.

Thank you John,

I bought it from eBay, downloaded 2 files and successfully install and activated it on my desktop PC. However, not on this laptop, both Windows10,

I tried many times uninstalling / reinstall still cannot activated it. So I got temporary  key to activate it, and it worked. But after running the activation file (" 2. activate volume license"). Again, cannot start the program any more.  I do not remember how the desktop was activated easily by running the second file. I think may be the antivirus software course the problem because the second file was automatically deleted as virus many times and I have to resume it several time.

Hi

. . . . I bought it from eBay . . . .

Volume licensed products are not intended for single users, nor for resale - this breaks the terms and conditions of the licence and is, in many cases, not legitimate.

It can also result in issues with registering/activating the software.

I would advise you to try to get your money back and buy a genuine licensed version of the program direct from Magix or an authorised dealer.

Hi, John, thank you for your reply. Now I understand what happened, It is a Volume License not supposed to sell to individual users. Actually I bought Edit 2019 from Magix with a DVD. it works fine. Then I saw this on eBay for less than $10. I want to try.  As I mentioned,  I have installed it on my desktop but did not see any improvement from 2019 version. Since I have used it once and registered It, forget about the money back. Thank you again.
