Where do I find my DaVinci Resolve activation key?

[@guymross]

Thank you so much! So many other videos attempted to explain this relatively simple procedure, yet failed miserably.

[@mohossain]

You are very welcome mate. :)

[@hansellobo535]

Thanks a lot.my PC crashed and I forgot how I had activated it. After your post, I found it in the keyboard box.

[@mohossain]

Glad to hear it helped mate. :)

[@Blaze_Assault]

you are too underrated, you only have 75 subs?! Good video though It helped me!

[@mohossain]

Well I guess to get more subs I’ll need to upload videos more frequently. Which has been challenging due to family, business and work commitments. But I’ll try to upload a video on stabilisation soon. Anyways thanks for your kind words mate. Much appreciated.

[@lifemoreefficient4476]

I did this 3 times and it still ask for a activation key. I reinstalled it 3 times to make sure but yes no change.

[@mohossain]

Did you download the software from the left hand side (DaVinci Resolve 17 - FREE- no activation key required) or right (DaVinci Resolve Studio 17- PAID requires an activation key)?

[@lifemoreefficient4476]

@@mohossain the left side that said free. I did it a 4th time after restarting my computer anf it finally worked

The new version for the 18, is asking for an activation key, and I downloaded the free version, is anyone having the same problem?

yeah :(

[@mohossain]

Sorry to hear that Julio. Did you download the software from left or right hand side? The left one is free and shouldn't ask for an activation key.

So how do you dig out your serial number from an active install if you somehow loose the physical serial?

[@mohossain]

Not sure how but Blackmagic design support might be able to assist.

thank you so much, i had mistakenly downloaded the paid version and i was very bummed out thinking the program is a paid one

[@mohossain]

no worries. :) yeah i know its confusing. hope at some stage they'll update the website to make it clearer.

[@SamuelJayMedia]

But what if I never got sent a card? I already have the studio version activated and everything but will be needing to add to another computer soon and can't find my serial number anywhere

[@mohossain]

I'd contact Blackmagic support.

[@wordonwheelsaustralia8160]

I click to download the free version of Davinci Resolve 17.4.5, installed it. Now its asking for an activation key. What activation key ? I do not have any activation key. It will not open the program without it receiving an activation key. Rebooting computer does not fix anything. What do I need to do to fix this problem ?

[@mohossain]

You may have accidentally downloaded the Studio. Try installing the free version instead.

[@mohossain]

[@invisi-bullexploration2374]

I do have a question. I am trying to see if I got scammed. The package contained a dongle and no card whatsoever. Will the dongle do the job of the card?

[@mohossain]

It should but my understanding is you'll have to plug the dongle in to the computer to be able to use Resolve. A great perk to the USB Dongle is that it works with not only DaVinci Resolve but also with Blackmagic’s Fusion Studio, giving you access to both software packages. You can also move the USB between as many computers as you need to just by plugging it into your computer’s USB port. If the software is installed on that computer, the dongle will give you access. This feature makes it ideal for content creators who work in multiple environments and want to quickly access their work on the closest machine.
