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

Raj,

I have a MCSOFT in front of me that was running on a temp 4.0 license
recently and it was just updated to a permanent SW license. I can open
the projects from that trial period and all the legacy projects.

I frequently set up customer systems with a trial SW license until
dongle updaters are generated in tewks. I have not seen any locked
projects to date.

If anyone can reproduce this, let us know.
