Given that Avid are trying to move everyone over to subscription-based licensing, I think you know the answer to your question.

Hey Mac-Donglers,

according to <https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/faq/Apple-M1-series-and-macOS-Monterey-licensing> there will be no way relying on your Dongle in the future:

 "Avid learned that the manufacturer of the dongles used by Media Composer would not be updating their driver software to be compatible with Mac M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max's or macOS 12.x Monterey".

Given this (and no digging for reasons why Avid relies on a manufacturer, who would not upgrade their software: it's the user (and even more: long-term customer) being locked out. Therefore:

Can we Dongle Owners get a working replacement, i.e. a iLok-License? What's the deal now?

TIA.
