Again, in either case, the system designated as admin must be PT11.
I hear you nst7. Thanks for clarifying that. It makes sense.

That's a bummer for me as I am still non-HDX, plus I am on 2.1 8-core Macs, hence not supported.

I have a HD3 rig and as surround projects make things DSP-tight, I recently purchased another HD2 system thinking of going HD5. But before I splash out for the chassis, I have been thinking of using the HD2 as an aux box instead, and using Satellite Link print stems on the second mac and/ or potentially do, music stem mixes on the HD2, when necessary. I already have a couple PT8 HD licenses and Video Satellite LE but it would have been quite cost effective if I could purchase two HD11 licenses to upgrade to 10HD, and get Satellite Link at the same time.

As 10HD is the max I can go I have to buy both 10HD and Satellite Link....

Bummer!!!!... : (

So, just to be 100% (fool's hope), if I get two HD11 licenses but use them to run two HD10 rigs, I still need to purchase a Video Satellite license for the slave HD10 rig, right?
