4 Product Activation
Activate your Avid Editing Application to gain access to all available features. Media Composer,
Pro Tools, and Sibelius are activated in different ways.
What You Need to Activate Media Composer or
Sibelius
To activate Media Composer or Sibelius, you must have an Activation ID and System ID. They
can be found on the Product Subscriptions page of the shop.avid.com after you buy the product.
The Activation ID is linked to the subscription model you are using or only going to use.
The System ID refers to the system you are working at.
Activation ID is needed to activate your software. You can find your Activation ID in your Avid
account at http://account.avid.com/. The ID is listed on the My Products page along with your
downloads. You will also receive an email that contains the activation codes for each of your
applications.
Device ID identifies your system if you are activating your software on a system that is not
connected to the Internet. This ID will be provided to you through Application Manager during
the activation process. To find out your device ID, go to the Licensing tab of Application
Manager, select the Offline activation method for the product, enter Activation ID, System ID or
both, and you will see the licensing information along with the Device ID.

Take into account that after you purchased a product, you cannot activate it right away -
there must be at least 10 minutes between these two actions. Otherwise, you will encounter
an error.
