Default Where is the cheapest place to buy DigiLink I/O License?

My hdx card won’t work with my Orion HD
Because I don’t have the DigiLink I/O license
Didn’t realise I needed that
Where is the cheapest place to buy it?
Thanks in advance.

Probably just go to the Avid store and grab it there. $299 is the price and that's a permanent license

You don't get options on the digilink license. You just have to buy it from Avid.

It says you are on PT12.5 in your signature. You will only need Digilink when moving to 12.6 and onwards.

OK so are you buying a HDX card only or an Avid HD i/o interface aswell?

Just so you know if you just upgrade to a HDX card as you said you can stay at 12.5.2 and not needing the digilink license until you go over HD 12.6 as that was the first version to use it.

If your current interface doesn’t work with your HDX card on HD12.5 then something else is wrong as you wouldn’t need a digilink for that combo.

Avid interfaces should come bundled with DL license so effectively it's a 299 dollar discount compared to 3rd party interfaces

You do need the i/o connected to the hdx card directly,
not via thunderbolt.
Are you connecting HDX with Digilink cable?
Ran HDX driver older than 2.6?
Uninstalled if driver 2.6 or newer?

The Orion 32+ dosn’t have the avid digilink connectors does it?
