* Avid FX 5.8.x does not require a dongle. A serial number is printed on the CD sleeve to authorize the software. Versions 5.7 and below require the FX additional dongle option as a component of the Studio Toolkit package.

** Avid DVD by Sonic 6.0 requires a dongle to be plugged into the system while running the application. If you have deactivated your dongle for software activation in a v3.5/7.5 editor, the dongle will still operate DVD by Sonic.

*** Avid DVD by Sonic 6.1.x does not require a dongle. Instead, a serial number is included to activate the software. Please note that this is the only functional difference between v6.0 and v6.1 of Avid DVD by Sonic.
