Activating DaVinci Resolve Studio is a relatively straightforward process, but there are a few important points to consider:
## Activation
- You will need to download and install the Studio version of DaVinci Resolve from the Blackmagic Design website. If you already have the free version installed, you must uninstall it before installing the Studio version.
## Uninstalling the free version
- Yes, it is recommended that you uninstall the free version of DaVinci Resolve before installing the Studio version. This avoids conflicts between the two versions and ensures that you can activate the Studio version correctly.
## Activation procedure
- Once you have installed the Studio version, you will need to enter the activation code or use a USB dongle. The activation code is usually supplied on a card or sent by email if you purchased the software online.
## Internet connection
- You need an internet connection to activate DaVinci Resolve Studio using the activation code. However, if you are using a USB dongle, an internet connection is not required.
In summary, to activate DaVinci Resolve Studio, you need to uninstall the free version, install the Studio version, and then enter the activation code or use the USB dongle.

This is always the latest Studio version (i.e. the "professional version"). You get a code that you have to enter for each new installation. Internet connection only for downloading the installer (approx. 7GB on the Mac).

This is the full version of the software. There is no more complete version, because DaVinci Resolve Studio offers all the advanced features, unlike the free version, which is limited.

Yes, you can change the language after purchase and put it in French without needing a specific French version.
To do this, simply open DaVinci Resolve Studio, go to Preferences, then to the User tab under UI Settings. You'll find the Language option where you can select French from the available languages. Once you've saved your changes, you'll need to restart the software for the change to take effect.
Note: According to the product data, DaVinci Resolve Studio (2 User, Unlimited) supports German and English. However, the resources available indicate that French is also accessible in the software's language settings, even though it does not appear in the product's official list of supported languages.

The DaVinci Resolve Dongle is a USB activation solution for the Studio version of the software. The dongle itself is not the software, but a licensing mechanism for DaVinci Resolve Studio.
The difference is that you activate the Studio version with the dongle, while the free version of DaVinci Resolve is available without a dongle. The Studio version offers advanced functions such as 4K support, professional image processing filters, noise reduction, face enhancement tools and other premium features that are not included in the free version.
With the dongle, you can use the Studio licence on multiple computers by simply swapping the USB stick between devices. You do not need an internet connection for activation and can work offline. This makes the dongle particularly flexible for freelancers and users who work at different workstations.

The two licences mean that the software can be activated and used on two different computers at the same time. If a laptop breaks down, you can activate the licence on another computer, as the activations are managed flexibly and the oldest one is deleted in the event of a third activation. This means that you do not permanently lose a licence, but can reassign it as long as you have the activation key and an Internet connection. Deactivating on a defective device is ideal, but not absolutely necessary in order to use the licence on a new device.

Hello
Go to the DaVinci page on Blackmagic and scroll down a little until you see "Download now for free". Click there and select your OS under "DaVinci Resolve Studio" on the right and click "Download only" at the bottom left of the next window.
After installation, always plug in the dongle before starting DaVinci, otherwise DaVinci will want a serial number.

Yes, you can upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 with this product. The upgrade from DaVinci Resolve Studio 19 to Studio 20 is free for existing users. However, please note that the public beta version of DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 may still contain bugs and projects opened in version 20 will no longer be able to be opened in version 19.

Yes, according to our information this is the retail version, therefore a physical envelope containing the licence key.

The DaVinci Resolve Studio licence code is valid for all versions of DaVinci Resolve, including version 18. This means that you can use the licence code to activate DaVinci Resolve version 18.6.6, even if you purchase the licence for version 19.
The DaVinci Resolve Studio licence is generally compatible with earlier versions, allowing it to be used on older operating systems, such as Mac OS 12, as long as the software version is compatible with that operating system.

I think it is the 17th
but it doesn't matter. if you buy it, you can always download free updates from the website.
and there are many updates. what i know is 8k in the update :D
Yes. Mega good
Yup! (resp. Yes, go :) LG
If you are working on mac you can import it in free version, on windows you can't, you will need a Studio version on windows to work with xavc-s footage. you can always transcode it to another friendly codec to work in free version on windows but that is just another step in you workflow.
No downside. I plugged the dongle in one of free ports at the back of the pc and literally forgot about it for over a year!
So far, upgrades between versions have been free. However there is no guarantee of this from BM; it's essentially a courtesy on their behalf.
The key I got was for v17 but it activated v18 no questions asked.
Hey :)
Well, with my dongle I was able to upgrade to Studio 18.1 without any problems and free of charge. You always have access to DaVinci via SD card or USB stick, but note that one of the two data carriers must always be plugged in to be able to access all Studio benefits.
Kind regards
