RE: [Avid-L2] Re: Install MC on a new partition, same computer

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. For this to happen Avid would have to had changed the project format for a trial license because the application wouldn't be able to retroactively go back and change all the project files so that a fully licensed MC would not be able to open the projects.

I'm pretty sure that we don't have different project formats but I'll poke around on Monday and see if I can find anything out.

That could also be permissions issues or a bug or client fubar.

Check the error reports and the console and let us know what you see.
