Deactivating the Software
If you want to run your Avid editing application on another system, you first must
deactivate your software license before you can activate it on a second system.
Deactivation occurs while your Avid editing application is running, but the
deactivation process automatically saves all open bins and the current project. You
must be connected to the Internet to deactivate your software.
If your system has an Internet connection, you can reactivate your Avid editing
application automatically. Otherwise, you must reactivate your software license
manually by telephone or by using another computer’s connection to the Internet.
For more information on activating your software, see “Activating the Software”
on page 10.
To deactivate your Avid editing application:
1. Start your Avid editing application, and then open a project.
2. Select Special > Deactivate.
The Deactivate dialog box opens.
