Dongle activation licence

PostWed Mar 10, 2021 2:21 pm

Hi,
I bought DaVinci Resolve Studio 15 with a dongle some time ago and now after installing the latest version 17.1 the dongle doesn't seem to be recognized anymore. I only access the free parts of the software.

An update is requested, is this correct?

Thank you for your help.
Robs correct?

Are you sure you installed the Studio and not the free version?

Yes I have downloaded the free version on the web site. Is there another link where I can found the Studio version ?

Yes. Scroll on the support page until you see Studio. The dongle (or the software key) does not convert the free version to Studio.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.

Thank you so much for this. I got my copy of Davinci Resolve 16 Studio with the Speed Editor from Adorama yesterday and was baffled about how to upgrade until I read your post. Seriously. Thank you.
