Why bother? Lots of advice from experienced users here to just uninstall this bloatware.

Avid Link does nothing to manage third party plugins... and that is where users often have more problems. And I don't trust it not to mess up Avid stuff or not to be a bloatware software that especially increases the security attack surface. If I was in a large studio/corp network that stuff would be absolutely mandatory to uninstall.
