I had been intending to donate the dongle version that came with the Speed Editor to a local arts collective. Yes I did find my key code, but no answer as to why my copy of DaVinci Resolve suddenly and unceremoniously deactivated itself. I really hope there is something I can do other than purchase another license.

I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions in the future, reading through Davinci's training manuals recently (great resource for finding out what all the settings do and getting some hands on training with the software) and I'll probably need to refer to everyone here's expertise for color grading help as well. Shouldn't something like licensed activation be carried over upon an UPDATE? Why, in the name of all that is good and holy, does an update to an already activated version of Davinci Resolve require another input of the activation code? It's the same computer, the same drives, etc. Is there a way for me to recover my activation code? Is there some way I can get support from Black Magic on the issue? I still have the original packaging of the camera, and I might even be able to find the receipt (not totally sure about that but it's possibly around here somewhere).Ģ. Now I'm sitting here with about 400GB of recent footage and I can't even get into the new studio version of Resolve which I have paid for and should have already been licensed and activated on my PC.ġ. The ayi (chinese housecleaner) that cleans my apartment took it for trash and threw it away. This wouldn't be a problem, but recently I'd put the second license of Resolve on my surface pro to see how it would do, and I had left the sd card with the software and the activation key on my desk. I was using the activation code that came with my camera and using the studio version of Davinci, but when the newest version landed and I updated the software it asked me for my activation code again. I've been switching to editing entirely in resolve and this is where my problem lies.

The image quality is great and the colors and flexibility of raw is just fantastic, color grading is not exactly easy but it's definitely worth learning too. I bought a Bmpcc4k last year and I have been loving the camera. I am posting this because I am having a rather frustrating problem. Glad to be part of the black magic community. Hello, this is my first post on this forum.
