I just want to add.. this is ridiculous that we sign up, register to download, and yet there is no way to log in and get this info. What is the purpose of registering to download if it offers no way to retrieve the info?
That said, I just had this scare.. I did NOT update to DR 16 Beta 2, started DR and it was inactivated some how and asked me for my activation key. It worked fine last night, and for the past many weeks, so not sure why I had to enter this again. Maybe it goes out from time to time to validate the key after you enter it once.. or requires you to re-enter it every so often?
So.. the BEST way to solve this, is to get yourself a free Last Pass account. It works in browsers on all platforms as an extension, or a web site, as well as there is a mobile app. It isnt just for passwords. You can store secure notes, etc. I put a bunch of notes for things like exactly this info. So if you dont already use Last Pass, you should be or something similar.. saved my butt many times now, and it is just so much faster/easier for sites. Anyway, the purpose in this case is to create a secure note, put in your DR activation key AND the serial number, and save it. You can then access it anytime anywhere.
But really, BlackMagic should have a way to log in to the site, obtain your product registrations, etc. It is 2019, this stuff is easy to implement.
