Activation ID
Your activation ID is needed to activate your software. You can find your activation ID by going
to your
Avid account. The ID is listed on the “My Products” page and with your downloads. You
will also receive an email which contains activation codes for each of your downloaded
programs.
System ID
Your System ID is a unique number for your system. You can find your System ID in several
places:
• If you purchased a new physical kit, you can find your System ID listed on the back of the
Activation Card below your Activation Code.
• You can also find your System ID online by going to your Avid account. If you are an
upgrade customer, you will need the System ID from your current product. You can find the
System ID using the Licensing tab of the Application Manager.
