"...and get the option to buy Symphony for an additional $99 USD..."
sounds very good to me, buying meaning it will be mine to keep.
however, on the videguys website, looking into more details, i see this:
"You will receive an redemption code that will add Avid Symphony Option to your current account. You will be able to continue to use that Symphony Option for as long as you keep an active Avid Standard Support contract"
so, that sounds to me more like renting
the time you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted time...

Thats misleading on their end. You own the perpetual license. So when you renew, that nets you another year and the Symphony Option for the added $99. So say in a years time, you decide not to renew..... then you still own the license and the symphony option and will be able to use the LAST version you were entitled too prior to the plan expiring.
thats not renting.
I will get with Gary of videoguys.com on that
thanks marianna,
that makes a lot more sense!
:-)
I also asked Gary to update the web site with new copy.
:)
Marianna,That's very exciting! Any word on what the annual renewal costs will be to keep Symphony up to date in the future? thanks, Darin

So far none.... If we do add to the app, it will most likely be in the MC itself. If by chance we update the Symphony Option, I would expect the upgrade to be minimal but this hasnt been discussed so... I have no idea.
>If you already Renewed between July 1st, 2017 and August 17th, 2017
What is the logic for perpetual users that if they renewed before July 1st they are not eligible? I thought it is irrelevant when i renew? renewal has to occur before the expiration date to get another year.
Looks like I was a few days to early with my renewal payment. Transaction date June 28, clearing date June 30.
I cannot see the offer in my account > My special offers.

There was a special offer last 2 quarters that if you bought a reinstatement plan you got Symphony. This is for renewals - i.e. people who kept their plans active. email me with your System ID, My Avid and the invoice for purchase and I can see what i can do.
So to be clear, If I renew my support ( which expires in Dec) now and buy the Symphony offer, I will get symphony now and then the support will renew when it expires in december for another year. In other words, I wont lose out by renewing early?
Thanks
That is correct. You'd simply be adding 12 months of support to your existing contract. That, and a perpatual license for the Symphony option.
How do I convert the new Symphony ActivationID to a Dongle?
We just bought the first two of many renewals w/ Symphony from the Avid store. In our account in the group "Media Composer | Software" I see the two system ID's with the new expiration date. Great...but no Symphony is shown with the SysID used to place the order. In a new group "Media Composer | Software with Symphony Option" there are two Symphony Option ActivationID's and links to download BCC Lite. How do I attach Symphony to the renewed SysID and trade the activation for Dongle updater?
Thanks, Don
I had the same problem - I contacted Marianna and she fixed it for me.
DonE
email me directly. Include system ID, My Avid email address and dongle serial # and finally your symphony activation ID.

jwrl: Thanks for your reply.
Thank you Marianna and Ajay for getting the new Symphony Option on my dongles.
