Upgrading the Avid Editing Application
You can upgrade your Avid editing application from either an existing software license or a
dongle license.
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 activate electronically with a dongle attached, the system assumes you are converting from
a dongle license to a software license and the dongle will be disabled. Only activate
electronically with a dongle attached if you wish to convert to software licensing.
