Dongle for AVID

Wed, 04/14/2004 - 09:24 — Anonymous Coward

Okay so I did the not so correct thing you might like to call "theft" or software piracy....I snagged Avid off the internet and now it informs me that I need a dongle! Holy dongles, where exactly could i pick one up??

Re: Dongle for AVID

You cant man, nice try. AVID is one of those softwares thats incredibly hard to steal from. Premiere, FCP, and others maybe, but you cant do diddly w/o the dongle. Just buy the software. It's worth it. If you cant, stick with the others.

Re: Dongle for AVID

when you purcahse a legal copy of AVID, you get the hardware DONGLE... funny how that works out... You can use AVID XPRESS DV FREE version if all you're doing is trying it out.

I got everything to use that software without the dongle. Just a EXE replace Nevertheless, I've bought it!! This software is for pro only!! If you have no money to buy it, then don't use it Cool

I said douh too!

Yeah I downloaded a kracked 'Avid Express DV" too and got the same dongle message. Then I saw that there is somthing called a dongle dumper that I thought would fool Avid, but it didn't. What is a dongle dumper? So if you do need the phyiscal dongle hardware to run Avid; can you by an Avid dongle somewere? Will generic dongles work or do you need a code. I would have just downloaded the free version of Avid, but it doesn't come in OS X 10.1.5 and I havn't had much luck stealing an OS Panther or Jaguar yet to run the free version. Hope you still find our predicaments funny.

Re: Dongle for AVID

you can fed ex him the dongle when he's using it and have him send it back when you wanna use it. I use to have to do that with Sapphire plugins at a place I was staffing at that was too cheap to buy another seat. No telling how much money they cost themselves.

Whats funny is how you

Whats funny is how you people get suckered into buying over priced software, then laugh at people who can't afford it.

A virtual dongle is available on the Net, if you look had enough.

Avid for $300!! And it's LEGIT! SRSLY.

.

If you're a student or teacher, you can get a copy of Avid Media Composer for $300 that's legit, fully functioning, upgradeable, and full of Avid Goodness© like Paint & Animatte tools, ScriptSync (amazing: http://avid.com/scriptsync) and more. Plus, you can install it on both a Mac and a PC (http://www.avid.com/products/Media-Composer-Software/index.asp).

Here's two places you can buy Academically Priced Software (including Avid, Adobe and more):
