Worst fears realised V17 Studio download installs as free
Posted: Wed Feb 24, 2021 8:41 amFollowing 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!!!!
P'off a bit
