I too had to get rid of my dongle, now I have a Mac studio. I swap between this and a macbook pro, also on2022.4. Using avid link and MC2022.4, I only need to activate on the device I want to work on. I dont need to deactivate at all. Once the new device is activated, I also get an email to confirm. I can send pics if necessary St.John

Is Toast by Roxio suitable? its what I use. St.John

A year ago I had a similar problem, and it was caused by a corrupt timeline setting. Because I didn't want to rebuild all my settings, I created a new user, and dragged that user setting file to my desktop. I switched back to my settings, opened the file on my desktop and just dragged in the timeline setting. Obviously I had to recreate my buttons

I too had this problem. In the command palette there are 2 places where you can get the segment mode: the edit page and the smart tools page. I think if you take the button from the smart tools page you clear this error message, I'm not sure what the differenece is St.John

It will be interesting to hear about your solution. I too had this problem today- turned out to be a bit of bad ram! I hope yours is as easy to solve St John

Having trouble entering data into the Disk label field. Rushes were transcoded in Resolve, & successfully imported into Media composer & Merged with ALE. When I try to add metadata into the Disk label field by modifying the clips, nothing is added. Has anyone had this problem and sorted it? Many Thanks St.John
