However, why I'm posting this in this thread is the question of the week and I will make it easy, just answer me Yes or No.
If I buy DaVinci Resolve Studio directly from blackmagicdesign.com
Will I get the delivery digital by e-mail?
Yes.
After my post last Sunday, I purchased DaVinci Resolve Studio from the BMD web page linked to earlier, and I received my license key immediately. The software can be downloaded from the direct BMD links or from the We Suck Less forum links mentioned in another post.
I haven't had time to install and activate the software on my laptop but I still trust the soft license will also work for Fusion Studio on this computer. I thought my dongle version had been previously installed on this laptop but as it turns out, neither DaVinci Resolve or Fusion had ever been installed on it. (It's a fairly new computer.) I'll post again after I install and try to activate the software on this laptop.
As for the differences between the Free and Studio versions of DaVinci Resolve, according to the product page on the BMD website...
DaVinci Resolve Studio includes everything in the free version plus the DaVinci Neural Engine, dozens of additional Resolve FX, temporal and spatial noise reduction, stereoscopic 3D, film grain, optical blur and mist effects, and more. It also supports 10‑bit video at up to 120 frames per second and resolutions beyond 4K.
For Fusion Studio, it's mainly the ability to use third party plugins, Primatte, and network rendering. There are other differences but these are the ones I need with the Studio version.
I know you didn't ask about dongle vs soft license but since I'm summarizing this thread: I used the dongle license for a couple of decades now and it's been great, but recently I decided I need the soft license for my laptop because 1.) it has only USB C ports and 2.) I was concerned about breaking or losing the dongle because this laptop travels a lot.
Hope this helps.
