Q: Clean install of Mavericks on new MacPro - why not?
Have new MacPro which shipped with 10.9.2
Avid MC 8 is certified for 10.9.2 but the activation engine is broken so it will not run
thought i could install 10.9 and do 10.9.2 update once Avid sort problem
MacPro will not allow me to run 10.9 installer (downloaded a while ago and used to install many towers and laptops and iMacs)
NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO GET MAC BACK TO 10.9 OR 10.9.1?
thanks in anticipation

Tips
- Some computers shipped with different Mac OS X versions at different times. When a computer is not bundled with a later version, a "-" appears in the "Later Mac OS X included" column.
- The build information is available in the About This Mac window when you click the word "Version".
- Some Macs may include a slightly later build version (but same numbered version) of Mac OS X on the Install or Restore discs than was preinstalled on your computer.
- Do not use a Mac OS X version earlier than the one included with the computer.
- Retail copies of Mac OS X may not always work properly with new Macs. Even if the retail version has been updated via Software Update to a later version of Mac OS X than originally came with a Mac, you may have unexpected issues. Always confirm operating system functionality by using the install disc that shipped with your particular Mac.
