Activation Key Support!!

PostSun May 28, 2023 4:48 pm

Greetings,

I've seen other posts here but nothing very recent on this.
I'm a content creator and I recently upgraded to Windows 11. Well, I had thought I transferred all important files but lost my email logs from 2022 when I bought Davinci Resolve Studio. Lesson learned to copy the code somewhere else, but I need to find out how to get that code back?

I did email support but being a holiday weekend I have no idea how soon I will hear back and I have video's I need to edit. I paid through paypal so I do have the invoice from paypal but of course the key wasn't on the invoice. I hope this will be enough proof of my purchase because I don't have another $300 sitting around to do this again.

Anyone out there had any success buying through online like this and recovering your key? I sure hope so. I'm guessing emailing support is my only option?

Who did you buy it through?

I wasn’t aware it was possible to buy a key online, only via physical delivery of a little card with the numbers on?

That key is good for two active installations, a 3rd activation will deactivate the originally activated system(s).

Obviously with hindsight you now realise the key importance of backups extending to license keys as well as your media. :(

Can you contact the seller and ask if they have any records? The activation card has an activation key and a serial number. If your seller kept a copy of at least the serial number, BMD may be able to generate a new activation key.

Time machine, maybe.

That code is like cash. You lose it... :(

Same thing happened to me. Did you ever get this resolved?
