Please note:
Do not register/redeem your Reinstatement with Avid until you are ready to use it.
Previous Reinstatements bought from Avid were automatically registered and redeemed when added to one’s Avid account, which started the Software Updates and Support Plan immediately.
If you’re buying a Reinstatement to use at a later date, please consider buying it from a Reseller, who will provide you with a code, which you can register and redeem in the future, when the time’s right for you.

Q: If I purchase a reinstatement and do not immediately redeem it, will it expire?
A: No. When you purchase a reinstatement from a reseller the code does not expire and you are able to use it at a future time. (Important to note that
the clock on your Software Updates and Support Plan starts when you redeem the code in my.avid.com/products/redemption.) Avid will continue to honor reinstatement redemptions after we discontinue selling them.
