How Can I Get 2.0?

In order to receive the 2.0 software update and any other updates going forward you will need your S6 console to be on a current Avid Support Plan. Your console came with 1 year of Avid Advantage ExpertPlus support with Hardware Coverage so please check your support plan expiration date. There are several options for renewing coverage (even if your plan has recently expired). If you are a registered owner, you will receive an email with details or you can contact Avid directly to hear about your options at : 1-650-218-4058

Note: Check the Products Not Downloaded link in your Avid Account to get the software.

Just to add to that... most customers are still covered under their Avid Advantage contract, so they will just need to log into their Avid Account (https://www.avid.com/account) and look under Products Not Yet Downloaded. Click on the Download Now button and proceed through the redemption screen to access your S6 software downloads and license.

If you own multiple S6 systems but have not used all of the S6 software activation cards that came with the Master Modules you may not see all of the S6 v2.0 licenses you are expecting. When you use the remaining S6 software activation cards you will receive your additional licenses.

Thanks,
