Thanks, Terence - that's what I was afraid of. This will keep me off v7 for now. And FWIW this was NOT made clear in Avid's collateral urging us to upgrade to 6.5 now/7 for "free" later (which is the new "now".) Why the hell can't a dongle user access ANY old version?
Marianna - I'd appreciate if you could escalate this when you can, or at least explain the technical difficulty to bless a dongle to access both v7 AND 5.5.
