Internet connection REQUIRED for subscription
So, it is true. Subscription is cloud licensing.
As AVID knows, most of you do not read the terms. You click OK and go about your business. Well, I have started to read those. AVID has been "shut mouth" about this too. Pointing to the "benefits" and being vague. Here is the truth: Quote:
http://www.avid.com/static/resources...te/LICENSE.pdf I suggest you download it not just read it online. Then you have a hard copy. Those who don't see, do you see now? This is bad for the users. Internet isn't guaranteed. So neither is your license. Keep reading, because I am. And Don't Let these "its media composer" sidecars detract. This is, in all way, the AVID license contract for ALL of AVID's software

Where is there a license agreement then. There is no where in this that states it is for media composer: Quote:
Double standard. Either way, show there are different terms that apply to Pro Tools that are different from media composer.

What I'm more interested in is does Avid check every time you run the software or is it periodically? And if it's periodically, how often? Adobe does the same thing, but Adobe only checks like once a month or something like that and I think every time you login your buffer is renewed. Idk...it's been a while. |

To be expected, sure. But it has been presented by Mods here that it wasn't the case. People have asked and haven't gotten the answer either. AVID is being aloof here. They are really trying to keep the users in the dark rather than being open. This is why.

Re: Internet connection REQUIRED for subscription
Read the link. www.avid.com/subscription
Media Composer | Software (v8) FAQ We don't yet know what they're going to do with PT, so it would help if misinformation was not spread. We need to wait and see, that's a bit of a bugger, as we're all in the same boat here, Lex. |

Ergo, read what I posted. You really think AVID is going to have a different policy with MC over PT? That's 420 dreaming

Re: Internet connection REQUIRED for subscription
Yup. I have. But we need to wait for PT info. All your links point to a system that has been in place for MC for some time. We don't yet know exactly how Avid will deal with PT. Chill.
