Bought Speed Editor, downloaded 18.5 beta 3 - activation key

PostTue Jun 06, 2023 3:41 am

Hi there,
I Bought the Davinci Resolve Speed Editor, downloaded 18.5 beta 3, uninstalled free version of 18, installed 18.5b3, opened app but it didn't ask for my activation key and won't let me use Studio only fx etc?
Please help?

I'm pretty sure that I just need a basic step-by-step guide to follow to make sure I got every step right.

Uninstall the version you just installed and then go back to the BMD website and look for the STUDIO download on the support page. You likely downloaded the non-STUDIO version of the installer. This happens on a daily basis on this forum.

You uninstalled the free version and then downloaded and installed the free version again.

Go to the Resolve Page on the website. Click "Free Download" Now click the Resolve Studio download link on the right.

Hey guys,
Thanks ever so much for your fast replies. What an awesome community!

To be honest, I contacted support, who were swift in their reply, which gave me the solution I needed long before this topic was even approved, which is such amazing customer service!

Anyway, this info here may be useful to someone else who finds themselves in the same boat.
