Product Activation
To have Avid Editing Application auto-activated, do the following:
1. Having bought Avid Editing Application (you can have Media Composer or Sibelius
with a monthly, annual, or perpetual subscription), go to Application Manager.
2. On the Account tab, log in to Application Manager with the Avid account credentials.
3. Go to the Licensing tab of Application Manager – the license is activated automatically,
without any additional actions.
The procedure described above shows a very basic scenario. It can be performed without any
unexpected results, if the following conditions are met:
The subscription license must be a single one for the user’s account. Or a Computer
Name have to be defined at the user’s account page for the license that is to be used for
auto-activation on the particular computer. The Computer Name must be unique for the
account for each product.
If you have Media Composer or Sibelius installed and you are not logged in to the
Application Manager, launch the Avid Editing Application and choose Electronic
activation to activate Application Manager with the Licensing tab displayed. After you
log in, the auto-activation workflow can be fulfilled.
If your Avid Editing Application is in a trial mode, log in to Application Manager, and
the Avid Editing Application will be auto-activated with the subscription details.
The auto-activation procedure will not be performed if:
you have activated the Avid Editing Application earlier and then deactivated it via
Application Manager.
there are subscriptions, for which a Computer Name is not defined, if there are more
than one active subscriptions.
all subscriptions are expired.
you have one or more Avid Editing Application subscriptions
(monthly/annual/perpetual), and the Computer Names, defined for them, are unique, but
no one of the defined Computer Names coincides with the one you are working at now.
the Avid Editing Application is activated from Application Manager under another
license.
you use a dongle for activation and log in on the Account tab.
