Manage the application versions you are working with from the Apps tab. For example, from this
tab, you can buy or download a new product. On the contrary, as soon as you purchase a product
from the shop at Avid.com, it is displayed on the Apps tab. If you purchase Media Composer, its
plug-ins are displayed in the Plug-ins section of the Apps tab. If you purchase Pro Tools, its plug-
ins and their associated subscriptions are displays both on the Account and Apps tabs.
You can easily find the needed plug-in on the list - start typing its name, and Application
Manager narrows the search variants and shows you all the matches.
The Apps tab controls varies depending on the current state and may have the following interface
elements:
• What's New? - click to expand and view a list of improvements and new features in the new
version
• Buttons on right side change depending on the current state of the product:
- Update - click to download a new version of the application;
- Renew - click to renew your rental subscription if it has expired. Clicking Renew
redirects you to the MyAvid page where you can renew your subscription or purchase a
perpetual license for the application.
- Install - click install a new version of the product;
