  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

DaVinci Resolve 7 for Mac now shipping

Ah, the Apple Store in Hollywood sold out :( huge line of kids testing the system out there though.
 
Is there a download only way to purchase? Is Silverado the fastest way to get my hands on it?
 
Peter, Thanks for making it dongle and not node locked. We've been playing with it on a few of our Macs and so far it's awesome.
 
On the Mac Pro, the easiest way is to intercept the wires going to one of the front USB ports and tie onto them. Depending on which Mac Pro, there are different ways to do it, but it's really just a header/connector on the logic board. I'm not sure on the '09/10 models, but on the '08 model I think it was two standard flat connectors just like most any PC uses.

On a typical PC, this is super simple as most PC motherboards usually have a USB header on the motherboard for attaching to the front or top of the system case.

I keep my USB dongles all connected to their own USB hub. If I need to keep them secure, like on a DIT cart, I would put that hub inside a lockable cabinet - secured into place and run a USB cable to it through a small hole. I actually don't have any dongled apps that I take on my DIT cart anyway...

Thanks Jeff for the info. As you suggested, I may just install the USB hub. Every time I look at the dongle sticking out of USB port of my Mac, I afraid, that I would somehow inadvertently just snap it. I'm not a fan of dongles...

Such old school security. What happened to online activations?

I've got to agree with you, there are better ways to deal with license management, especially now that DaVinci Resolve is going after a much larger user base. Draconian hardware license controls seem out of place for software at this price point, and are the cause of user and BMD support headaches.
