That means you downloaded the Studio version and not the free one.

The one on the card probably was the free version.
Your license key should have been on a plastic card (credit card sized) with the camera.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

so it is possible that i am using Studio version with Free version for like 4-5 years?
i dont think so ...

even now on other pc (installed from same SD card) i can use Studio version 18.1.1
+ my BMPCC4k came with Studio version licence so i am pretty sure i've got DRS licence whole time :)

Then you didn't use Studio. Or do you have a dongle?
The free version is quite capable and might be taken for the full one when compared to other 'lite' software.

no i really using studio :) i know all features and so in studio version and i try Free version on my laptop, really know the difference

all i have is that square card with two SD cards that came with my camera and i THINK i used these SD card to install or maybe i put SN of camera to download DRS i am not sure, anyway i was using DRS on two computers for like 4-5 years till now and on one of my computers DRS is still running ok after 18.1.1 update, on second one i having that trouble

anyway BM support responded me to send them proof of purchase + SN of BMPCC4k and they will send me a key for Studio as its a normal state that i have no dongle or "credit card" in early production of BM4K + DRS license

You would certainly have needed an activation code or a dongle as stated here.

Maybe the activation code is on one of those SD cards.
On the computer that is running ok does the About splash screen look like this with the word Studio?

You must have had one at that time of first installation. There never was a Studio version you could install without a dongle or a key code. It would have opened the door wide to pirates.
Unfortunately, loosing that card is like loosing cash. It looks like this, with the key code at the back

Last year I bought an Editor Keyboard. It came with DR Studio.
Usually the Prroducts comes with a License Keycard. But in my case there was a Sticker glued on the Box
Take look at your Camarabox. There should be your Key
