Hi guys;

Same problem here. Can not activate or deactivate our Resolve Studio.

Maybe the servers are down?

I had same issue on r19b1. Fixed by uninstalling resolve, then reinstalling it.
Opening resolve the previous activation reasserted itself, and resolve opened directly into my last open project.

I have been using Studio version of Resolve for years. Today I went to update to Resolve Studio 19, downloaded it and get watermark on the screen. uninstall and reinstall again and same thing. No help at all from customer support, just a form email saying I need to purchase a license. What is going on and how do I get proper customer support???

Appearntly you installed the free version of Resolve 19. If you do own a Studio license, make sure to download the studio version and activate it when asked to enter the license key.
