Interesting that I just upgraded to a new hard drive in my older laptop using carbon cloner. I neglected to deactivate MC 4 first. After swapping out the drives, the old app opened and ran fine. I had even changed the name of the boot drive. Dodged a bullet, I guess.
The upgrade to 5.5 and 6 was alot more work, as M&M knows,..
Avid has several licensing schemes out there right now due to the rapid advance of 5/5.5/6. Naturally, it will take some time to sort out.
Probably just in time for icloud delivery of apps on demand - to our mobile devices.

With MC 6 there is a new unified licensing so if you have SS or PF on 5.5 don't deactivate - launch MC 6 and the Avid license control will port your activations over.

The installer wouldn't let me because it said I only had a license for one seat. So I had to call Avid Tech Support and have them de-authorize the now defunct version on the original system drive. Not a big deal, but it took a while to figure out what had happened.
