As I understand it the console should function fine, but we wouldn't be able modify the factory plugin bundle at all.

The only other issue I'm aware of is if the hard drive fails, we wouldn't be able to reinstall the software on a new drive without purchasing new licenses from AVID.


What else am I missing? Thanks!
I believe you should contact support for transferring ownership to your Avid account, so that you can download stuff. You're not the first in this situation.

Meanwhile you can just take an image of existing hard drive and use it in case you need to replace drive.
