Vous êtes nombreux à vous poser la question de savoir s’il est possible de continuer à utiliser une ancienne version de Media-Composer avec un dongle ou une licence software de Media Composer V7.0.x : les versions Media Composer 6.0.4 ou 6.5.3, Symphony 6.0.4 ou 6.5.3, & NewsCutter 10.0.4 ou 10.5.3 ont été ipdatées pour autoriser l’utilisation d’une licence soft ou dongle Media Composer 7.0. :
Il est ainsi possible de mettre à jour votre licence ou votre dongle en Version 7.0.x tout en continuant à utiliser une version anterieure. Il est à noter qu’un dongle ou licence software en version 7.0.x ne permet pas de lancer une version symphony anterieure à la Version 6.x.

* Customers who wish to run Symphony v5.5 or earlier will need to use a Symphony v5.5 dongle license, or a version-specific Symphony software license (e.g. to run Symphony v5.5, a v5.5 software license is needed.)
**NewsCutter 11.0 includes Interplay connectivity by default.
