Re: [Avid-L2] Before SL Upgrade do I carbon copy clone with MCsoft 3.0.5 Activated or Deactivated?

I'm not running any Macs, so I can't be sure - but I was under the
impression that the "clean install" requirement was actually quite a strong
suggestion at the very least... I believe that an OS upgrade for OS X leaves
behind some odd system files and stuff.

Certainly we had some weird FCP issues in going from 10.4 to 10.5 (I think)
a couple of years ago - a subsequent clean reinstall sorted most of them
out.
