This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: PhraseFind Will Not Install

Thanks Job. I discovered this issue around seven minutes before your reply and added the word "Solved" to the thread title.

I do appreciate your comprehensive description of the "forces at play". And, yes, it would be nice if the installation process had some consistency.

Speaking of installation -- I had to laugh that Avid still has HD Plasma Wipes in the Goodies folder.

This will generate a new code, as the licensing numbers changed from 5-digit 'words' to 4-digit 'words' so you cannot directly enter your old code into the new License Control.
