How to rotate an image w/o BCC?

[Job Ter burg]

A final attempt: If you upgraded from v7 to v8, you do not loose your existing BCC version. And that BCC version that worked with v7 will work with v8. You don’t need a new installer, you just keep the install you have, or if that has accidentally be deleted from your system, you re-install that original BCC version you got with v7, using the license key that you received with that.

Yes, v8 did not include BCC. But you already had it. You didn’t loose that license.

See last question in the Third Party Products in the v7 to v8 FAQ from Avid:

Q: I am planning to upgrade from Media Composer 6.x to Media Composer 7.0.x or 8.0.x – why am I not able to receive licenses for updated versions of 3rd party applications that were previously included?
A: In the past, Avid provided updates to some third party applications as a courtesy to customers with support contracts. Due to the expiration of contracts with certain third party partners, Avid is no longer able to distribute licenses for updated versions of the following applications:

• Avid FX
• Sorenson Squeeze
• Boris Continuum Complete (Symphony customers)
• Avid DVD

Licenses for these applications that were provided for the initial purchase will continue to work. Customers wishing to update to the latest version of these applications will need to contact the partner companies that make these products.

Note: Avid DVD was EOL (End of Life) at the end of 2013. There are no software updates available for Avid DVD.

THANK YOU! That’s the answer I’d been unable to find on the Avid website. I couldn’t get a straight answer from Boris other than there was no upgrade path when you hadn’t purchased the product in the first place, it was an Avid “courtesy”… which nice at the time, leaves me without plugins that I had on Symphony 7 when upgrading to 8. Thanks again for the help

That too is incorrect. The version you got from Avid would include a serial number and Boris allows you to use that serial number for an upgrade.
