Re: [Avid-L2] Versioner vs Update File?

Correct. Someone told me the "versioner" file is updated every 2 hours
or so now. (Avid only posts these with "day" dates though).

Your system will show up in there if it is registered and has an active
support contract.

Otherwise a dongle blaster or "updater" file is needed. It takes awhile
for the gnomes to make one of these too, so it's hard to say which is
faster when you REALLY need it.

You have a cool new option though. When in doubt, remove the dongle,
choose the 30-day temp license and sort things out later.
