In my dongled past it has been my experience that you can not retro actively get a dongle. It has to be purchased with the software initially. I have asked about converting my one software activation license to a dongle and was told I couldn't do that. IIRC I think it was Marianna that told me this several years ago.
That being said it never hurts to try. The one downside to a dongle on a laptop is you lose a port and the potential of breaking the dongle on a lap top is increased IMO. I have my software license on my laptop for this reason and the multiple boot drives on my other systems. But I would dongle my software license if that were possible nowadays. YMMV

Sounds donglicious, but I'm on a plane in a four business days. I doubt I can get a dongle in that time… unless Marianna is listening out there…?

I have several systems set up with different versions of Media Composer for different clients, and I just move the dongle from machine to machine. No hassle.I think some on here maintain multiple boot partitions to do similar switches to different versions of MC. Same thing. With a dongle you don't have to do any de-activations/re-activations.In the past this has also bypassed the issues with Application Manager when it gets stupid.Once you go dongle you never go back...Dave HoganBurbank, CAOn Tuesday, April 17, 2018 1:15 PM, "Raj Rodrigues raj.rodrigues@...

Should work fine as no distinction is made between licenses whether on PC or Mac or laptops.This is, I'm sure, a well-worn question but I'm doing a show out of the country and will be running MC on my Macbook Pro. It's a new laptop and I'm about to install MC on it. But I've had bad luck activating my current MC subscription on my *previous* Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to get ahead of any difficulties I may have on the new one.
So can anyone tell me if it should be as simple as Deactivating MC on my desktop system and then Activating on the laptop? Different computers, I know, but shouldn't it work once I've logged in on AppMan on the new laptop? Right? Tell me I don't have to buy a whole new subscription for my laptop.
Thanks,
