I have been twice caught out with unsupported activations when Ballisticware, the vendor of a scriptwriting software went belly-up.
#Ism dongle not installed activation code#
I originally selected the dongle option in the belief that if for any reason Blackmagic Design went belly-up, I would not be stranded with an activation code which would no longer be supported with a response code. I have sent an email so shall see what comes of it. I had not got as far as plugging in the Speed Editor to the USB3 port.ĭermot Shane. Then it wanted me to make sure the dongle was inserted, so I pulled it out, gave it a few seconds, then reinserted it and all went to hell from then on.Īfter a bit of mindless logic on my part with a few installs and uninstalls, free Resolve 17.1.1 finally took hold and it is behaving so far touch wood. Resolve Studio 17 initially started and all seemed well for about 15 minutes, enough time to see that all my projects were still alive and well. Sometimes after a long wait, the computer will "ding" eventually as if it has found it. The dongle has been tried in all USB ports. The software I downloaded from your site as instructed. The dongle for Resolve Studio 17 came from Videoguys in Australia. The free version knows nothing about dongles so if you are installing that and its not working that suggests a system hardware or configuration issue. Is the dongle in the USB port or on a hub or extender? What other USB peripherals are connected?
The limited reasons it wont tend to be USB conflicts but I can say its rare based on numbers shipped.

Tried the dongle in every USB port - No difference. Have uninstalled and re-installed with dongle plugged in and dongle unplugged.

If anyone has any suggestions about how to beat this thing into submission, any advice will be appreciated.

It still demands the activation key or the dongle.
More fool me.įOOTNOTE: The Studio install and uninstall has stuffed the free version. So the USB dongle seemed like a good idea. I also got burned by screenwriting software with similar protections when the company went belly-up. I thought I had learned my lesson from cineform and its clever activation code system which went to the heavens above when cineform sold out to GoPro and I was left with software I could no longer re-active when the hard drive laid down and I had to re-install. I think I may have to go back to the freebie version.
The dongle is not seen and things progress no furthur. After a few more tries it now does not get past a screen which requests an activation code or a dongle to be plugged in. However, after installing and Studio initially working, it bailed after a few minutes, advising the dongle should be plugged in. I thought I would be a clever fellow and also do the right thing by BM, pay for the software and buy the studio version. It looks like I may have broken DaVinci Resolve 17.
