May 2, 2012 at 12:48 pmOk, So I downloaded Avid 6.0.1 and it keeps shutting down on me. I’m trying to download the patch, but the instructions read…” Mac patches are full installers. You must uninstall your previous version first.” Does this mean I need to uninstall my Avid and then download the patch and reinstall? I won’t have to pay again right?

May 2, 2012 at 3:18 pmYou won’t have to pay again. Downloads are always free. The “Payment” doesn’t occur until you launch the installed program for the first time and it asks you for your serial number and SID number. Those items you will receive from Avid when you pay for the software in the first place. Keep that information, as you’ll need it if you want to transfer licenses to different computers.
Yes for Mac Avid, you have to run the uninstaller program in your applications folder, remove everything, then run the new version you just downloaded. Make sure you un-register your software from within the program before you uninstall it. (You already have a registered version running on your box correct?)

May 8, 2012 at 2:38 pmHow do I unregister my avid? The program always quits before it fully can start up.

September 9, 2012 at 10:59 pmI was successful in having Avid 6 work on the OS X Lion operating system. However, I did have to change the read/write settings on my mac (ones that lion automatically sets), in order for Avid to open properly.
