Yeah, yeah, 7 is out so today is bad timing, but today is the time I have and I'm not ready (and perhaps my Dual 2.26 Quad isn't qualified) to instal 7. But I can't find the download page for Media Composer 6.5 Academic Upgrade.

Can anyone help?

Need this link?

Thanks Wim, but that page has updated to v.7. I really need 6.5.

If you go and get your MC7 activation code, 

you can use that for activation on 6.5.3!

Thanks, that's what I needed. So I register there and then go to the downloads page and get 6.5.3, right? 

right!

don't forget to deactivate first!

Thanks wim. Listen, I know this should be a new topic, but I've got your attention and you are being so helpful: Where do I find Mac OS 10.8.2? That's the latest OS for which my Matrox Mini is qualified. I'm currently running 10.6.8.

No idea... I only work on PC, sorry

Just thought I help you out wit your Upgrade question.
Best to open another thread for the Mac users to see! 

Thanks for all the useful information you have provided.
