might open with a message about incompatible power management schemes.
Avid recommends you use the “Always On” power scheme for Windows XP and
the “High Performance” power option for Windows Vista or Windows 7 when
you work with Avid editing applications. Other power schemes might affect
performance of editing functions (for example, capture and digital cuts).

Getting Started
If you chose to install the sample startup project and media when you installed
your Avid editing application, you can open this project from the Select Project
dialog box. The startup project, called Avid Boston Project DV25, contains a
complete sequence with rendered effects and titles, as well as all the video and
audio clips used in the sequence.
Use the startup project to learn how to edit with your Avid editing application,
before you capture any media of your own. You can explore the sequence in the
Timeline to learn how it is assembled, and use the clips to practice viewing and
editing techniques described in this guide. See “Starting a Project” in the Help.
Firmware Update Note
When you first start your editing application after installing, you might receive a
dialog box requiring you to update the Avid hardware firmware. Choose to
Update. During the update process, do not access any other applications or move
any of the active windows. Accessing another application might result in the
update completion dialog box being hidden. If this happens, you will see the
update progress stay at 100% but have no option to proceed. The hidden window
which states the update is complete and prompts you to shut down your system
cannot be brought to the foreground. If this happens, you must shut down — not
just restart — the system and then power it up again.
8 Installation Guide for Avid Editing Applications
Avid Software Activation
After you install your software, you can activate your Avid editing application
using one of several methods:
•You can use an Internet connection to activate your software automatically.
Avid’s Activation tool lets you activate your software online using the
system identification number and serial number that came with your
software.
•You can use an Internet connection to activate your Avid editing application
manually. If the system running your Avid editing application is not
connected to the Internet, you can activate your software by using a different
computer with an Internet connection.
•You can activate your software by upgrading from a dongle-based version to
a software license. For more information, see “Upgrading the Software” on
page 17.
•You can activate your software by upgrading from a previously installed
software license version to a new software license. For more information,
see “Upgrading the Software” on page 17.
•You can activate your software over the telephone by calling Avid customer
service. This option lets you activate your Avid editing application if your
system configuration does not allow for access to the Internet.
•You can run your software for a 30-day trial period without activating it. The
trial period lets you access all functionality of your Avid editing application.
At the end of the trial period, you can choose to purchase the software and
activate it at that time.
Avid Software Activation 9
n If you have an active Avid Support Contract, you might have the option to
upgrade your software with an existing application key (dongle). See the
instructions provided on the Avid Download Center for your upgrade or that came
with your upgrade kit for more information.
c If you change your system configuration — for example, by replacing your
hard drive or by upgrading your operating system — you must first
deactivate your Avid software. For information on deactivation, see
“Deactivating the Software” on page 25.
Activating the Software
After you install the software for your Avid editing application, you must activate
your copy of the application.
The Avid Activation tool launches the first time you start your Avid editing
application. If you are using the 30-day trial version of your Avid editing
application, the Activation tool launches when you start your Avid editing
application until the 30-day trial period expires.
c Activation uses the hardware address from a Network Interface Controller
(NIC) in the system, so it is important not to change your Ethernet
configuration once you have activated your software. If you need to disable
one or more NICs on your system, you must do this before activation. If you
install your software on a laptop that automatically disables your NIC — for
example, when you move between Ethernet and wireless Internet connections
— consult the documentation for your computer for instructions on how to
change your system’s NIC settings before you activate your Avid software.
n If you deactivate your Avid editing application during the 30-day trial, the trial
period continues to run and you cannot extend your trial beyond the 30-day limit.

called a “dongle,” you must attach the key before activating your software with
Avid’s Activation tool (for more information, see “Connecting the Application
Key” in the Help). When you upgrade your Avid editing application from a
dongle-based version to a non-dongle version, the Activation tool automatically
deactivates your dongle when it registers your copy of the software. For
information on upgrading from a dongle-based editing application to a software
license, see “Upgrading the Software” on page 17.

26 Installation Guide for Avid Editing Applications
Your Avid editing application saves all open bins and the current project,
and then quits.
Uninstalling the Avid Editing Application
Prior to installing the editing application, you should uninstall Digi Drivers using
Add/Remove from the Control Panel. Reboot the system and then install the new
editing application. If you do not remove the Digi Drivers, the AudioSuite
plug-ins do not load and you might receive either the error message “This
software requires installation of device driver TPkd and a reboot before running”
or a “DAE Interface NOT Available” error message. If you see these errors on a
clean installation on a brand new system, install Hot fix KB926255 from
Windows Update to fix the problem.
(Macintosh Only) If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Macintosh
editing application, remove the Stereo Mixer.dpm and Surround Mixer.dpm
plug-ins from the following location: Macintosh HD/Library/Application
Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins. If you do not remove these files, you might
experience problems with the AudioSuite tool.
For all Avid editing applications, you must first log in as the Administrator (not
just a user with administrator privileges), install the application, and initially
launch the application as the Administrator. If you are working in a shared storage
environment, mount your workspaces. You may then subsequently run the Avid
editing application as a regular User.
If you use any Pro Tools audio devices — for example, any of the Avid Mbox
family of devices or the Avid Pro Tools|HD Native hardware — you must install
