Hi,
I am currently using a trial MC version 2018_5 in my Z800 workstation. I am also using MC 6.0.4 in my laptop and having a dongle activation. Do I need to update my dongle, if I want to use dongle activation in Z800 workstation also? Or is the dongle valid both MC 6.04 and MC 2018_5. Of course used separately, not the same time?If dongle is needed to be updated, does it work in older version MC 6.0.4 after updated to MC 2018_5?Any experiences or knowledge for this issue?JaMa

The dongle will only work with the system ID that it is tied too. So with the Trial, you can not use the dongle. But you can install 6.0.4 on your Z800 and move the dongle over to that system. The dongle wont work with 6.0.4 once it is updated to 2018.x
Here is the article relating to using older versions and what works.

Many thanks Marianna. I updated z800 to version 2018_5 and I also will update mobile-edit for the same version. Question:I have been using mobile and z800 separately. I have had Avid software with dongle activation in both units. Both Avids have been working, but of course not the same time. Is this way of working still avalaible with version 2018_5. Using two separate units, not the same time, activation with dongle?JaMa
yes, w/ dongle you can have MC installed on as many machines as you like, with the ability to only use x1 at a time w/ the dongle.
