20 Installation Guide for Avid Editing Applications
Upgrading the Avid Editing Application
You can upgrade your Avid editing application from either an existing software
license or a dongle license. If you upgrade from a dongle license or are changing
product models, then your upgrade kit includes a dongle updater card, upgrade
code, and software activation code. Please see the instructions in your upgrade kit
to update your software.
If you previously purchased PhraseFind, PhraseFind Language Packs or
ScriptSync, your license activation should automatically update. If you purchase
new options, you will be provided with a new Activation ID.
n Upgrading your dongle license to a software license disables your dongle. Once
you have activated your software license, you do not need and are not able to use
the dongle to run your Avid editing application.
If you upgrade your existing license and you have an active Avid Support
Contract, please read the instructions provided on the Avid Download Center or
that came with your upgrade kit before updating your system. All Avid Support
Contract customers must use the Versioner.avd. file to upgrade their software as
described in the last procedure in this topic. For more information, view the
“Software Licensing Upgrade Process for Support Customers” topic on the Avid
Knowledge Base (www.avid.com/US/support).
Below are high level steps you should follow if you are upgrading your Avid
editing system, PhraseFind or ScriptSync options.
