I purchased an Avid Media Composer [ Software product and received a spreadsheet with an Activation Code. What do I do with it? How do I get my products?
To redeem your Activation Code (also referred to as a Download Code or Redemption Code), simply follow the steps below.
  1. Log into your My Avid Account. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one using a valid Email address

  2. Select the Avid Software Activation and Download link under the My Products section

Note: Education Customers may be presented with a Verification Code rather than a System ID and Activation ID. Eligibility for Education pricing must be verified through our partner Identit-e. For instructions on how to use the Verification Code to receive your software license, consult the Student, Teacher, and Institutional Identit-E Validation for Media Composer article.
