For current users still relying on older Artcut versions with the authorization disc, the solution is often to either maintain a dedicated older computer with a DVD drive or to transition to newer software that does not rely on such physical media. Some users create ISO disc image files (virtual copies of the disc) and use virtual drive software to "mount" the image, fooling the computer into thinking the physical disc is present—a workaround that shows the adaptability of users in the face of aging technology.
