Just install MC 6 for example and when you run the Avid License Control Tool the software will automatically detect the options are there and already activated and port them over to MC 6. The ALC does the port over.... but if you want to turn in system ID's for Activation ID's for the options you need to call in to support.

But, with the upgrade to Lion, I can see lot's of folks doing clean installs of the OS. If that's the case, they wouldn't have the old serial #'s present to be automatically upgraded and ported over. Is there a procedure in place to convert the old numbers to the new numbers??
