Connecting the Application Key
The application key, commonly referred to as a dongle, allows the Avid software to run on your computer. Application Key shows the application key.

To run your Avid application:
1.  Connect the application key to a USB port on the computer.
The computer sees the application key when it is starting.
2.  If you connect the application key after you start the computer, restart the computer.
  Application keys contained in a new Avid editing application kit can be moved between Windows and Macintosh systems. However, an application key that has been updated to work with Avid editing application from a previous release by using a versioner or updater floppy disk cannot be moved between Windows XP systems and Mac OS X systems.
  Be careful you do not lose the application key. Your Avid software does not function without it. If you lose your application key, you must purchase another key from Avid at the full market cost of your Avid editing software.
