RobotHeadArt, on another forum, has advised that Motion Media (https://www.motionmedia.com) has VUE, Plant Factory, etc. available on their site. At least one forum member has confirmed that they can provide license keys. Manual activation of products is still probably required.

The principle is called "reseller". They exist in many countries in this world, and always existed.

Ah, well, I figure that everyone that visits this forum knows what a reseller is. The point is that E-ON seems to be really backed up with order requests right now, and this is an alternative path to getting what you need. In a situation like this, with the main supplier site down, there is no guarantee that resellers still have license keys available, but this vendor apparently does. : )

You can still get it from e-on too, as they are processing orders manually until their site gets back to normal.

Just to clarify this. Only e-on can create serial numbers and activation keys for e-on software. It needs the end customer information for that. How a reseller can provide those without knowing the end customer first therefore sounds a bit strange to me.

Ah so so e-on have found a new rip off scheme when their site comes back up they will have a computer problem that will wipe out all users off older vue content forcing them to buy a new computer and purchase latest product.

if you don't like Vue don't use it, nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to use it, just uninstall it and move on. Your tin foil hat conspiracy theories are getting boring
