Re: [Avid-L2] Follow Up on Avid Download Center changes

I can't remember where I saw a post from David Dodson saying he found MC 2023.8 unusable and had to back rev.  I don't see it here so I assume it's probably Avid Editors on Face Book.  Given the issues I read about and IIRC he's on Mac it doesn't seem prudent to lose everything prior to 2023.8.  I would hope that as has been mentioned perpetual users will still be able to run legacy versions and that those versions will remain available through contacting support.  I can see a desire to unclutter the download center and I know I can download what I think I might need in the future but to completely cut users off seems like a bad idea.  One of the hallmarks of Avid is they more or less understand the Broadcast community and their need to keep things solid and stable a move like this seems short sighted on the core base. 

So my hope/suggestion would be that even after they are removed from the download center in a pinch a user could contact support to get a legacy version.
