How to install & activate

For latest version:

  1. Open the downloaded file, run the Install Resolve file … to install as usual
  2. After installation, open the app once, the software will ask for a code to Activate, ignore it and close it (This step is important, must be done, if you miss a step, you have to uninstall and reinstall from the beginning)
  3. Open the Davinci_patch file> then click on the macOS folder. Then drag the Resolve file into the macOS folder that just opened > select Replace
  4. Press Shift + Command + . to show hidden files. Then find the following path (Must show hidden files to find it): /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/.license/
  5. Many people do this part wrong. The Library folder is on the Macintosh drive, not the Library in the User folder.
  6. Copy the blackmagic.lic file to the .license folder.
