Media Composer First activation
I just downloaded Media Composer First (Windows Version), so that I could try it out. I followed the instructions given in the email with the links. The install went fine. But when I launched the app, I got a message saying that no license was found and it aborted the launch.
I went back to the email to find out where I was supposed to get said license that was never mentioned before and found there were NO INSTRUCTIONS to that end anywhere in the email. I went to ask at the Media Composer Forum 101. It said I had to join. When I selected the Join Link, it told me to type in my account information, which I did. It then showed my screen name like it does here. But when I tried to ask the question there, it said that I couldn't post any questions. Can anybody here help me figure this out, Eddie Jones? |

Re: Hey Eddie, I have to ask here
Open your iLok Manager and see if there is a Media Composer license in the "Available Licenses" section. If there is, drag it to your iLok.

I went into my account and linked my iLok Mgr. to it. But nothing changed in the actual License. Should I start from scratch and download it again? Last edited by KeyplayerG; 12-03-2018 at 08:59 AM. |

Re: Hey Eddie, I have to ask here
I downloaded the Application Manager and it showed Media Composer as not activated. I loaded in the System ID number, but I'm not seeing an Activation Code (also NOT included in the download email! ).
How/Where do I get that? |

Re: Hey Eddie, I have to ask here
What a PITA this is!!!!
I tried launching MC First from the Application Manager. It gave me the option to launch as Media Composer First, hence apparently, NOT REQUIRING AN ACTIVATION CODE. Great, now we're getting somewhere. I selected that option. It opened halfway and asked for a license for an old Drumagog VSTi to continue (WTH?!!?). I told it to skip that. Then it said that it couldn't find all of the old or updated plugs. There was a very long list of those. When it couldn't find them, it failed to open. Seriously? I've been trying to launch this damned program for 3 straight hours!! |

Re: Hey Eddie, I have to ask here
1. Who is Eddie Jones?
2. Why are you asking about Media Composer (any version) authorization problems on the Pro Tools forum? 3. Two words - "DaVinci Resolve". 4. I hope you solve your problem.

It's on my list. Will it work with Artist Series Controllers? Thank you very much. At present I'm about to un-install Media Composer and move on. |
