Worst fears realised V17 Studio download installs as free

PostWed Feb 24, 2021 8:41 am

Following good advice re my fears of a 2 only Studio install being wrong, I un installed my Studio
V 16 .2.8 by M/Softs un installer, went to the BM page for 17, clicked on the 17 STUDIO pane
downloaded its Zip file 170b9, unzipped and clicked the exe file when it installed OK

On re starting it told me to update my data bases, which I had previously backed up and it came up running with my projects intact. EXCEPT THAT IT WAS NOT STUDIO, BUT THE 17 FREE VERSION !!!!
And there was NO provision for entering my license code either!!

What's as bad, I went back to the BM 17 site to download it all over again, had to go through the sign in page WHERE IT NO LONGER WOULD TAKE AN INPUT ON THE COUNTRY FIELD !! All other fields went in, but this one NO. Clicked on next anyway and was taken to the Resolve Advert page with prices...and that's it!.

Now not only do I not have Resolve Studio and cant use my expensive RTX GPU, but now there's no way to re do it !!! I cant go further without a Studio version, not only due the lack of GPU acceleration and CUDA, but as I do need the extra facilities Studio gave.

I know my systems running fine, spent a couple of days/ nights checking all h/ware and WIN10 PRO software , all came up clean each time. Also just tried installing a boot drive with my engineering CAD stuff on it and that runs fine too....(Both PCs are identical) .BUT NO RESOLVE STUDIO!!!!

You downloaded the free version, download the Studio version.

As mentioned in my last response on this topic, did you try this?
Did the download prompt show a filename with Studio in its name?
Was there a "Download only" button?

Just to reassure you, I just tried all three links in DaVinci Resolve 17 and DaVinci Resolve 17 Studio and they work fine.

From the pane header, to download confirmation header to the file name, there are multiple places where the terms DaVinci Resolve 17.0 Beta 9 and DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.0 Beta 9 are differentiable.

Thanks for your quick response , appreciated.
No , no filename with Studio on it, just clicked the download in the separate pane for 17 Studio and Windows and clicked on the download which came up there. Pretty sure it didn't say Studio though.
But I cant try again as the sign in page prompts me to enter my details. and it now wont let me enter anything in the "country" entry, so wont proceed to the download page.
Tried rebooting several times but it does this all the time now. So cant move forwards
Site used was https//www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinci resolve/studio

Have to leave now as I have to inspect a camera in next suburb
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly
Will try your url when I get back;

That's the direct link to the download of R17 Studio:

Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
