IIRC the last version or versions of MC 5.5.X would work with newer activation codes whereas the original MC 5.5s wouldn't. I still have 6.5 on my old macbook pro laptop but virtually never use it. Sounds like Marianna could help you clarify what you need to do. In the past she has mentioned Avid can give you a legacy activation on an as needed basis.

I have Media Composer 2018.2.0 with a now unsupported permanent licence on a 2008 Mac Pro 3,1.
I have been asked by a client if I can colour correct an HDV MXF sequence from an Avid 3.5 and then return it as a colour corrected Avid sequence & untouched original media back to the client. I'm assuming that I won't be able to either open the old project with my 2018.2.0 - or certainly not give it back such that he can open the modified project on his MC 3.5. Am I correct?
I also have an older dormant hard disk in my Mac Pro (with an older OS) which has a Media Composer 5.5.5 installer on it (which is the original Avid I bought which was upgraded over the years until I stopped paying at 2018.2.0).
1. If I install 5.5.5 on the other hard disk, can I 'un-licence' my 2018.2.0 and licence & run 5.5.5? If so, how?
2. I stupidly chucked the 5.5.5 installation disks in a clear-out a while back - do I need the old activation key for 5.5.5? If so, where can I find this?
Thanks very much!
