Obtaining the Dongle Updater

To obtain your updater file:

1  

Install but do not start your Avid software.

2  

Connect the Avid application key (dongle) to 

the USB port on your system.

3  

Use one of the following methods to deter-

mine your system ID and serial number:

• The system ID and serial number are on the 

tag attached to your dongle. If you have a 
dongle labeled with both PC and Macin-
tosh System IDs, use the PC system ID and 
serial number, even if you are using a Mac-
intosh computer.

• If the tag is no longer attached to your don-

gle, run the DongleDumper program to ob-
tain the System ID and Serial Number 
values. The DongleDumper program is lo-
cated at Program Files\Avid\Utilities\
DongleDumper\DongleDumper.exe
(Windows) or Applications/Utilities/Dongle 
Dumper/DongleDumperSuperPro (Mac OS X).

Follow the online instructions to obtain your 

dongle updater file. You will need to supply the 
system ID, serial number, and the upgrade key 
that is on the bottom of the upgrade activation 
card included in the Media Station|PT package.

You can download a dongle updater file
(DBHelper.exf). It will also be e-mailed to you. 

Updating the Avid Application Key 
(Dongle)

You only need to run the updater program on 
one platform (Windows or Macintosh). Once 
the dongle has been updated it will enable both 
the Windows and Macintosh versions of your 
Avid software.

The key on the upgrade activation card can only 
be used once. The DBHelper.exf file that you ob-
tained via e-mail and download will only up-
grade your specific dongle.

To update your dongle on Windows:
