When I got a symphony V6 with dongle option a year plus ago I was told that because my dongle was new it would only work with V6 and not earlier versions. I have however used it successfully with V5.5 at times. I was told that perhaps if it was an upgraded dongle that had originally run V5.5 etc.... it might do both. Well my supposedly virgin to V6 dongle does in fact work with earlier versions, at least that's been my experience and I've upgraded it to 6.5 a while back but haven't tried the backwards compatibility sense then. Don't know if I just got lucky and I realize the V7 backwards compatibility of mc with symphony option is probably a different animal all together because of the product changes set in place with V7. I am under the impression that in cases where people still need backwards compatibility that Avid folks, especially the dog loving, dog biscuit baking types, would help people out to get older systems a valid license.
