We have not charged for upgrades since v8 and we don't currently plan next years update to have any cost even though Studio is now $299. It just cheaper now. Also, the dongle license versions of Resolve will have the same upgrade status in the future as the software key license versions once they are available at v14 release. You won't be forced to swap the dongle for a software key.
More details at released.
Peter, I need to ask, will filling the registration form out every time we want to update the non-Studio version continue to happen? I seriously hate that every time I update the software on my laptop I have to fill that form out just to be able to download. Whereas, the Studio version I hit download and am done. So would love for it to be simpler for updating.
Also, will the Software Key allow for multiple computers (like two) to have access to the Studio version? This would be helpful for that above reason. I would have the software on my desktop computer and then also my laptop. Would love that freedom so that the same software is on both machines. Technically I have two dongles from my two BMD cameras so I could get two Registration Keys per Dongle if that was needed, but I would prefer a single Registration Key to allow for two machines to be licensed to run the software simultaneously.
Thank you for answering these questions.
