Product Description

Avid Media Composer | Perpetual licenses provide a permanent right to use the purchased software version—the license does not expire when a subscription term ends. With 20 floating seats, up to 20 editors can use Media Composer simultaneously, with seats checked in and out from a central license server to maximize utilization across the editorial team.

Perpetual licenses include the feature set available at the time of purchase. Ongoing software updates and new version access require an active support/maintenance contract (sold separately).
