The “Cloud”, in this instance, refers to the way the license is activated and periodically validated.) (One important clarification - and minor branding quibble: Despite the inclusion of the word “Cloud”, this does not mean that the Sibelius is actually running “in the cloud”, like a browser app such as Noteflight, Soundslice, or a Google Doc. Activating Sibelius using Avid Cloud Licensing, as described by Avid Behind the scenes, Avid Cloud Licensing checks your license, and if it’s valid, Sibelius automatically starts. You would simply run Sibelius, click Activate License and log into Avid Link. Like the Steinberg Licensing system, the concept is not complicated. The new Avid Cloud Licensing system, which was first introduced last week for Avid’s Media Composer video editing software and is being made available for Sibelius today, is intended to give the user a simple process for activating and moving a license from one computer to another. Other improvements include the inclusion on the desktop of the “transform to irregular bar feature” that was introduced in the previous Sibelius for Mobile release external numeric keypad support for the mobile app support for entering system and page breaks on mobile and several other usability enhancements on desktop. This input method builds upon the tap-and-drag (on mobile) or click-and-drag (on desktop) gestures introduced in the iPad version, and later on the desktop in Sibelius 2021.9. Headlining the improvements on both platforms is a new way of entering percussion notation that enables the user to perform a dragging motion on the Keypad to cycle through the various noteheads and articulations that are defined for that particular percussion instrument. ( This is not the first time this year that these companies have announced similar products one day after the other!)Ĭoncurrently with the introduction of Avid Cloud Licensing, Avid released Sibelius 2021.12 for both its desktop and mobile (iPhone and iPad) apps. Avid’s plan also accounts for this - but more on that in a moment. If that all sounds familiar to Scoring Notes readers, it’s because Steinberg recently announced a new licensing system, and just yesterday modified their plans to not require the computer to be online regularly to check for a valid perpetual license. Called Avid Cloud Licensing, the new identity-based system will enable single-user activation on two computers and be managed by a new License Management page in the user’s Avid Link account, or directly from within the user’s account on Avid’s web site.
Avid today introduced a new licensing system for Sibelius with the intent of making it easier for customers to both activate their products and move freely among devices without loss of use.
