Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Phrase find upgrade?

Thanks Marianna and Happy New Year to you.
I am out of town until next week but will see about it then. Reactivating in 5.5 may be a problem as I don't think I can open 5.5 now that I have updated my dongle to Sym 6.5. Will let you know what I find out.

thanks
Lou

You then install and activate 6 or 6.5 using the Avid License Control Utility. You should see an Info Tab after activate within ALC. This tab "should show you" the new 16 digit activations for the options you own.
