Re: [Avid-L2] Advice on migrating to SSD

 

Transferring Avid via OS X migration tool may not work. You would want to
install that fresh and transfer your license over.

Some licenses based on online activation will need to be deactivated from
the old drive and reactivated on the new drive. This is because your
license is based on your hardware profile - including your HD.
