I currently am using Media Composer 6.5.4. My dongle is blasted with version 8.0. Am I free to use 8.X or will my dongle only work with 8.0?
Thanks
That depands on whether your suport/upgrade plan was valid during the time that 8.x was out. 8.7 just cme out so if you are still valid in My Avid then yes you coud use that once you update the dongle nd download the software.

I purchased the upgrade and support on June 23rd 2015 through a third party reseller (VideoGuys,com).
My dongle is updated to 8.0. I'm just trying to figure out which version it's good for as-is.
Am I right to think I can use the lastest version on 8 that was out at the end of my support contract (June 23rd 2017)?
I mean June 23rd 2016

That's correct, as long as your dongle was/is also updated with your contract expiration date (using the dongle updater file you download from your Avid account and apply to the dongle through the Application Manager).
You corrected your expiration date in another post to be 6/23/16. According to the Download Center, 8.5.3 was the last release before your expiration and came out 5/19/16. The next release was 8.6 on 6/30/16.
