Authorizing Media Station|PT
After Upgrading from a Previous
Version
After upgrading to Media Station|PT 2.7, you
must update your Avid Application key (don-
gle). To do this, you will need to obtain an up-
dater file from Avid’s web page, www.avid.com.
Some optional software (such as EDL Man-
ager) is required for certain tasks described
in this guide (for example, “Digitizing from
an EDL” on page 52).
See “Changing Video Output Settings for
Full-Screen Playback” on page 44 for de-
tailed information on switching between
two monitors for full-screen playback.
If you have upgraded to
Media Station|PT 2.7 from a previous ver-
sion of Media Station|PT and you already
have a dongle, see “Authorizing Media Sta-
tion|PT After Upgrading from a Previous
Version” on page 31.
After upgrading the Avid Application key to
authorize Media Station|PT 2.7, the up-
dated dongle may not properly authorize
previous versions of Media Station|PT.
