Thanks, Andrew! Yeah, I did the reinstalls of MC and Avid Application Manager. I'll look around got for the database posts, and I hope to hear from Avid this week.Thanks again!

hahhaha, yea, I know she's taking a breather. I wasn't expecting Marianna to come to my rescue this weekend;) as for your questions: If you open the Application Manager Apps tab what does it show under Avid Media Composer? it shows "renew" If you then switch to the Licensing tab what does it show under Avid Media Composer? Under "info"

I tried calling Avid Support, and it even says my system ID does not have a syandard supprt contract, but my Annual subscription ends Dec. 2, 2015???? Anyoen know who should contact? Marianna directly? Mariann, are you out there?

I'm having the same issue. Everything has been until the new year; once the renewal was to take effct for 2015, I received teh same error. I've tried to deactivate, insintall and resinstall. Funny thing is, in my Avid account it says my subscription is Active. I wrote to Avid, haven;t heard back. Good thing I don't have any pressing deadlines

Have you tried the newest matrox drivers (7.6)? http://forum.matrox.com/mxo/viewtopic.php?t=13704

gorky is right: it's the way to get your mxf's tp premiere. Go ahead and try it; but; just remember, it may not bring over some transitions ot effcts you have laid out in avid. A straight edit with some easy transitions will work.

Yes. Export AAF. This what I do amd it works beatifully.

Anyone know where I can get a Internal Mini SAS 4i Adapter Cable (Mini SAS to Blindmate adapter) do I can hook up my LSI 9260-41 to my blindmate cables? THe original HP Part (NQ097AA) is hard to purchase anwhere. Are there any 3rd party Mini SAS to blindmate adapters? I swear that's my last question on the ole Z800 front.

Hey Dom, yeah, I got rid of that "Hot Plate" quadro 4000 last year and I have a Quadro K4000 now; eventhough I keep eyeing the GTX cards, for sure.

I found my answer switching between the INtel SATA Raid setup and teh LSI Raid setup: Intel Raid wins. Read and write speeds were higher. Thanks, Pat, for the suggestions. On another note, SSD speeds on the LSI were almost half of what they are on the regular Intel Sata POrt. I guess you only get teh speed benefits on the LSI with true SAS drives.
