:) thanks

I am not aware of a resolution to your dilemma. I wouldn't want to speculate on the future, but at the advent of Sorenson Squeeze's EOL, I would assume that this is a dead issue. While it was, imho, very generous of Sorenson to provide the free update to those with an old serial number, fwlw. I wouldn't expect them to jump through hoops

Thanks for "reviving" this old thread. I didn't expect the links to continue to be active.

...I just found the installer (zip file). If you want it, email me with your email address and I will send it to you. Perhaps it still works... I dunno.

I searched for the 11.1 Pro installer without success... perhaps someone else still has it and will email it to you... but you will need a previous serial number.

While it does continue to have an output link to Sorenson Squeeze, Avid no longer supports the EOL product. Not an unusual or unexpected thing. ;)

Chiming in on this... my experience working with audio is to only make subtle changes in input/output volume within effects processors to minimise noise. I think it is a good habit to keep any and all effects on the low side (resisting the urge to go overboard)... and to have a good set of studio monitors, quality headphones and cheap speakers to evaluate

Doing an uninstall prior to a new update used to be advised but we have installed new updates over the current installation for years without issues. If you are updating from an older version it is probably advisable to do a full uninstall. Doing an uninstall is relatively painless. fwiw.

Btw... the *.mov file I imported was one that I exported from MC last week...

I just tested it and it works fine on our end. Mac Pro, Mojave, 2018.12.1
