What You Need to Activate the Software License
To activate the software using the Avid License Control tool you need the items listed in the
following table.
The software license is provided on an Activation ID. Depending on your specific configuration
you may receive more than one Activation ID card. The card ships in a box separately from the
server and, if you have purchased multiple products on the same order, it could potentially be in
a box with another product that might be unrelated to the Avid Motion Graphics system.
Below is an example of an AMG System ID / Activation ID card:

If you change your system configuration — for instance, by replacing your hard drive, a
network adapter, or by upgrading your operating system — you must first deactivate your
Avid software.

Your network administrator might need to open a few ports that are used during the license
activation. The Avid License Control tool utilizes both port 3443 and port 443 for license request
and response communication. Port 3443 is the primary port, but if this port is blocked, the
Activation Service tries port 443, which is more likely to be open for Web communication.
