Install on multiple pc's when purchasing Speed Editor

PostSat Apr 12, 2025 5:09 pm

Hi everyone,

I've been using the free version for a while and been thinking of jumping in and going for the studio edition and noticed that to purchase the speed editor unit isn't a lot more than paying for just the license etc.
My question is: Can I install the studio version on 2 pc's as i have both a desktop PC and a laptop and would like to be able to work on either depending on if my main desktop isn't accessible (ie, when away from home etc) and also be able to use the speed editor unit on both etc.

The reason I ask is because I believe I saw a reply to a thread on Reddit where someone said that if you get the licence via purchasing the speed editor, you are limited to only 1 install, which would be a bit of a pain. (Only a casual user at the moment and just wanting to get into editing for mostly home videos bit also the odd youtube video etc)

Thank you for any information and always appreciated.

The speed editor comes with a license of Resolve Studio. The license key can be used up to 2 computers. It’s a good deal if you need a speed editor to use on the Cut page.

I use my Speed editor on my Studio Max with Bluetooth and connected to my pc with usb cable. I use on both this way but of course not at the same time. Also on my iPad but in this case must make sure the Studio Max is turned off to make sure there is no Bluetooth confusion. It will only pair to one BT device at a time.
