Alan BakerI know all I need to about the situation. Avid is using a legacy "anti piracy" technique. It doesn't work on a newer machine. Customer paid money and now can't use the product.

The only decision you get is whether or not to buy itoffer.When you write/offer/act like a douchebag, expect to be treated as such. Nobody in the industry uses hardware dongles anymore.
What would you do if you bought a car and one day your key wouldn't start it? That's exactly what's happening here. You are trying to make it into a licensing issue.
...but assuming it is, that would be because people voted with their DOLLARS by not buying software that requires them.Wrong. Voting is a once and done action. Buying something meant you establish a relationship with the customer. Once they buy your product It is up to you to make them happy - within reason. Avid ProTools 10 lists for $600 off Amazon. For $600 that software should be developed to the point where it can run on anything and anywhere.
But that doesn't translate in you being allowed to steal my software because you don't think that my requiring a dongle is FAIR.How is it stealing? You have your money. I paid you $600 to use your product.
