The dongle protection of the full version would be significantly easier to workaround if the app simply use Lite only features with the dongle missing so we don't have plans to do that.
well -- it's first of all BMDs decisions, but in more objective terms it doesn't make much sense.
as long as the studio version is downloadable to everybody (it's in fact even easier accessible, because you do not have to fill out the form for download in contrast to the lite edition!), this excluded parts are also available to anyone.
and that's not only unreasoning speculation. we simply have to take it as a matter of fact, that cracked versions of resolve, based on this packages, are still available in the wild. that's a real problem, and i personally disdain dubious pirated software not less than their manufacturers, even though for other reasons.
therefore i think, it wouldn't make any significant difference, if resolve would come in a more user friendly sole package [preferably on ALL platforms].
