Hi.
I want to buy Studio version.
But on the B&H for example they still sell DR with hardware key.
Where can I buy online DR14 Studio with just a software licence key?
Thanks.

Not yet, it' still in beta.

Can't find an online reseller with Resolve version 14.
How to buy DR without a dongle?
Thanks.

Yeah, this seems unnecessarily difficult. I would have bought it a couple of weeks ago if it was easy - ie. there was an online shop with a digital download edition.

I ended up spending the budget on an X-Rite Color Checker Passport and two portable video lights.

Yes, I've been trying to buy it ever since I received this IBC update email from Grant Petty , that states..

"DaVinci Resolve 14 Studio is now available with a software activation key, which allows customers to activate their DaVinci Resolve Studio license on a laptop and desktop computer at the same time. DaVinci Resolve Studio is also available with a hardware based USB dongle for those customers who want to switch from one system to another instantly, or for security reasons are unable to connect to the Internet to activate their license."

I have contacted everyone of their listed on-line resellers with NO luck.
very frustrating

I, too, would like to be able to buy DR Studio edition online with activation code. In fact, I was rather surprised when I found this was not possible, most of my other software has been purchased this way. I'm in Hong Kong and found that the local resellers only have the dongle version of 12.5.

I'm using Mac so I suppose I could buy from the Apple Store, but I have been put off by comments about "zombie' software, etc., on this forum. Is the Apple Store version so much worse than the BM download? I know the earlier version sold for for US$500 when the BM version was US$1000.
Thanks,
John
