Frequent questions
This FAQ is valid for
easyDCP Reolve Plugin  All Versions 

 

easyDCP Resolve Plugin is fully integrated in DaVinci Resolve. It runs in demo mode as long you haven't purchased a license and activate it.
You can activate it without further installation according following instructions.

See here how you can activate your easyDCP Resolve Plugin:

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve and click "File". In the submenu you find the entry "easyDCP".
    Then click "Request License & Certificate". Follow the dialogue and click "Save".
    Please use a system that is connected to the Internet to make sure that the HTML Request you saved works.

    Please do not use special characters for the password:
    Special characters in this case are all characters that are not Latin letters or Arabic numbers: a-z, A-Z, 0-9.
    For example if you used a password like "test_123$" when requesting the license and certificates, then the actual password would be "test123"




  2. After opening the HTML Request file (double click this file) your browser will connect to our webshop www.easyDCP.com.  Enter your login information and then the webshop will offer to buy the easyDCP Resolve plugin if you have not already bought it. The license will be activated automatically after receipt of payment. If you already own an easyDCP Resolve plugin, please select this and the activation will be processed immediately.

    PLEASE NOTE: If you want to activate a easyDCP Resolve Bonus License and the prerequisites are met, the webshop would offer you to activate the related easysDCP Resolve module automatically.   

  3. Download your "License & Certificate" data set from your license-status after it is just in time available. To finally activate your product use the "Import License & Certificate" function in your DaVinci Resolve and import your downloaded data set.

 

Please note:

  • Please use only US characters for the domain- and username in request form, e.g. no: é,*,# etc.
  • The file extension for the request file must use the extension .html.

Note: In Resolve 15, please make sure that the easyDCP decoder is used and the setting "DaVinci Resolve > Preferences > Configuration > Use easyDCP decoder" is switched on:

How to find your licenses up to easyDCP 3.8.9 and others.

With the update to the new website www.easydcp.com, we have tried to keep the usual processes as before to make the changeover as easy as possible for you. However, there are some changes in how to find your licenses.

And this is how you find your easyDCP applications up to easyDCP 3.8.9:

  1. Login to the webshop www.easydcp.com as usual.

  2. Select My Products in the top menu.

  3. You will find a new section: Single Licenses 
    Here you can find easyDCP licenses up to Version 3.8.9 (without service) and easyDCP plugin licenses. Your previous legacy and bonus licenses can be found under Previous Licenses.



  4. When you select a desired easyDCP application entry, a submenu opens. Here you can select different services like e.g. download, migration, activation and upgrade.
    Available services depend on the type and the status of the license. 

As part of the conversion to the easyDCP Plus and IMF Studio packages, we have migrated your licenses with valid service. You can find an overview of your previous licenses in My Products after the section Single Licenses with the button Previous Licenses.

NOTE: Licenses that did not have a service at the time of the migration can be upgraded to one of the new packages for a fee. For your comfort, use the new button Purchase Upgrades next to the headline Single Licenses. Here, the webshop shows the best update/upgrade options for your licenses.

Service and service extensions for customer with permanent licenses:

Each new purchased easyDCP Plus comes with a valid service contract lasting for 6 months. Within this period, technical service, cost free updates and online roaming for the respective package are included without any additional payment. 

Once the service is about to expire, customers will be notified by e-mail. It is highly recommended to extend the service extension from minimum of 6 months. It will always be appended to the end of the current service-period. If the customer decides for a automatic service subscription the service extendes for another 6 month automatically.

In case a customer decided not to prolong the support and no new version of specific package has been released, it is still possible to get back into normal service. A reactivation (calculated form the regular service fee) for the period between previous service and the date the client wants to get back into support has to be paid. 

If a new version of specific package has been released during a non-support period, no prolongation of the (expired) service is in this moment possible. Here clients have to purchase a onetime fee in order to get the latest version of the easyDCP Plus/IMF Studio package. The update price depends on the date when the previous service extension has ended and the date the client purchased the update for his respective easyDCP Plus/IMF Studio package.
The younger the last license the lower the update fee.
Note: Updates comes without automatic prolongation of service extension.

Hint: Customers are invited to use the  automatic service renewal with every purchase. This can also be set up manually afterwards. You can find more details here
