Hey. I've been using the free version of Davinci Resolve for a few years now and just bought the studio version for the first time. Watching how it works tho, I believe I'm going to have to update my computer. Can I transfer it over to another computer or am I going to have to pay almost $500 Canadian again? If anyone knows that would be great. Thanks!
Colin

One resolve key can be used on two machines at the same time.
If you try to install on a third, when the install phones home it will invalidate the key on the first machine.
I have re-installed windows and installed on 3 different machines, zero problems.
Do of course keep track of that magic code you bought. If you lose that you will be spending the $500 again.
Updates are smart enough to not ask you to re-enter they key. So when you decide to move to v20, it will be seamless.
If v21 is offered for free to existing users or not is still unknown.
