How to use my Studio activation key to download 18.6?

PostWed Apr 24, 2024 3:04 am

Hi,

I recently transferred all my data from an old, Intel-based MacBook Pro to my new M3 MacBook Pro. I hadn't really been running Resolve on the old laptop, so V.16 was still sitting there. I had assumed that when I launched Resolve I would get the screen prompting me to upgrade the version, but instead I got the message that the welcome screen was "damaged," so there was no prompt.

I do have my original Studio activation key, but I can't figure out how use it to download Studio 18.6 without paying again.

Can anyone advise me? TIA!

You don't need your Activation Key to download any of the installers. You only need to enter it when running Studio for the first time where you will get a screen similar to this.
