Can’t Download Media Composer First
Until a month ago I was a user of the full version Media Composer. As I have retired from editing I have closed my AVID account and deleted AVID from my system. However my daughter, who is studying film making at College, wants to download Media Composer First (the free version) onto my computer for use during her studies. She has created her own AVID Account and tried to download Media Composer First. However when we click on the download link for Media Composer First it will only download the full version, which then will not work of course without paying for a license. Has anybody come across this problem before? I’ve tried to contact AVID of course but after three weeks they have not replied to my email.

Hey Peter,
It is likely that your and hers install is tied into your computer’s I/P address or similar. Don’t know if a VPN would resolve it, but worth a try.
However, Avid has got a good thing going where they offer a full MediaComposer licence for film students to train on, so that might be a better option than “First”.
Hope that you don’t mind me asking; what territory are you based in?

Hi Mads, thanks for your reply. Yes I think you are right. AVID has a system ID which identifies the computer. I think it’s that rather than the IP address. No doubt AVID could advise what to do about that, so I will continue trying to contact them.
Regards Peter
