    Lost dongle in 2019!

    Dear Avid specialists ! Help! After many, many years spent together on the set and in the studio, I managed to lose my MC Dongle. Of course, I still have the current license, but in my workflow I often go between two or even three computers during the process of editing. Without dongle, working on the project in such a way (with electronically activated licence) becomes virtually impossible! Is there any way to deal with it anyhow? I know from a local reseller that Avid does not release the dongle version anymore, although, these versions are still available from my reseller. I tried to get from reseller NEW dongle, but he told me that’s not possible. He can sell me NEW product (Avid Media Composer) with NEW dongle. I do not need two Avid licenses - one with the dongle, the other one with electronic licence. What should I do in this situation? Can you help me somehow? Still I work on trial, but I have only 18 days for final decision. PLEASE HELP!

    Mondrooteck.

    The only other solution is to move to software activation and activate/deactivate when moving between systems.  We would need the system ID or the existing license so we can find the dongle serial and retire it.  Then issue you a new license with softare activation.

    Thats the only other option.  Dongles are not sold sperately.

    Re: Lost dongle in 2019!

    Good morning, Marianna! How is it going on a different continent? :D. HereIn in Poland, unbearable heat and epidemic of mosquitoes! That's not a good time for a freelancer working (in most cases) at home. I am writing to find out if the information I sent you was enough to run the electronic license of Avid MC. I must also ask how I can move from one computer to another using a new shape of the license. This is certainly not complicated, but I have always used Dongle, so this is a new situation for me.
              I greet you very WARMLY!
