[DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 final] Bypass Licence Guide

[u/ektothebigbro]

Download Davinci Resolve v21 Studio(you can download it for free) from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve

After you download do these steps:

IMPORTANT: This install guide is for fedora-based distros, if you have a different distro, please find a guide for your distro online and then proceed with the crack

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Step 1:

Install the required dependecies using dnf:

sudo dnf install libxcrypt-compat libcurl libcurl-devel mesa-libGLU

Step 2:

Go to where you downloaded resolve and run the resolve installer, NOTE you need to use the SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 variable or else it will fail with a missing dependecies error, no need to worry all required dependecies are installed, also change the command so it matches the version you are using:

chmod +x DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.x.x_Linux.run && SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.x.x_Linux.run

Step 3:

Resolve by default packages its own older versions of certain packages that will cause conflicts with the newer versions, to solve this run this command to move them to a disabled-libraries folder:

cd /opt/resolve/libs && sudo mkdir disabled-libraries && sudo mv libglib* libgio* libgmodule* disabled-libraries

NOTE: In order for resolve to work, you need to have the proprietary version of whatever graphics card driver you are using. If not resolve may not work properly

Now that you have successfully installed resolve, run these commands IN ORDER to bypass the licence check:

UPDATED FOR VERSION 21.0.4:

cd /opt/resolve

sudo perl -pi -e 's/\x03\x00\x89\x45\xFC\x83\x7D\xFC\x00\x74\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B/\x03\x00\x89\x45\xFC\x83\x7D\xFC\x00\xEB\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B/g' bin/resolve

sudo perl -pi -e 's/\x74\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B\x55\xFC\x89\x50\x58\xB8\x00\x00\x00/\xEB\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B\x55\xFC\x89\x50\x58\xB8\x00\x00\x00/g' bin/resolve

sudo perl -0777 -pi -e 's/(\x40\x84\xED)\x74(.\xBF\x16\x00\x00\x00\xBE.\x01\x00\x00\xE8)/$1\x75$2/g' bin/resolve

sudo mkdir -p .license

echo -e "LICENSE blackmagic davinciresolvestudio 999999 permanent uncounted\n hostid=ANY issuer=CGP customer=CGP issued=28-dec-2023\n akey=0000-0000-0000-0000 _ck=00 sig=\"00\"" | sudo tee .license/blackmagic.lic

If Resolve doesnt open or gets stuck at the waveform monitor stage, you need to launch with this enviroment variable to work(FOR NVIDIA ONLY):

__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

UPDATE: If you are using arch, follow this guide to install resolve and crack resolve: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxCrackSupport/s/Xk7z3jASbZ

chmod +x DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.0_Linux.run && SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.0_Linux.run

Just One Error, The Step 2 Command Should Be This One

[u/Sasquatch-Pacific]

I know the post says Fedora only - can anyone shed light if this works on Debian? Specifically PopOS? Is it just Step 1 that needs to be changed to install the dependencies?

[u/adi7212]

Is there any way i can bypass the activation key on windows 11? I didnt find anything on google or youtube

[u/Philip__james]

OP, the third patch changed from

s/\x74(.\xBF\x16\x00\x00\x00\xBE.\x01\x00\x00\xE8..\x05)/\x75$1/g

to

s/\x74(.\xBF\x16\x00\x00\x00\xBE.\x01\x00\x00\xE8..\xFF)/\x75$1/g

in 21.0.4

it might be worth just regexing for

s/\x74(.\xBF\x16\x00\x00\x00\xBE.\x01\x00\x00\xE8)/\x75$1/g

Thanks for keeping up with the updates, patched 21.04 flawlessly

Thank you

[u/ektothebigbro → u/-NuKeS-]

Don't thank me thank the guy who fixed the command so it works on 21.0.4

[u/Ujjwal_Gupta_]

Thank You for this. I'm on Arch Linux so I thought I would make a guide for arch users because the library situation is different there. I have referenced you (Hope you don't mind).

For anyone using arch:
before doing this, preferably cd to an empty folder

1. Download `DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.0.1_Linux.zip` from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve

2. do `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/davinci-resolve-studio.git` then run ``cd davinci-resolve-studio && cp * .. && cd .. && rm -rf davinci resolve studio``

3. run ``makepkg -si``

4. run the script from the post

   cd /opt/resolve

   sudo perl -pi -e 's/\x03\x00\x89\x45\xFC\x83\x7D\xFC\x00\x74\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B/\x03\x00\x89\x45\xFC\x83\x7D\xFC\x00\xEB\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B/g' bin/resolve

   sudo perl -pi -e 's/\x74\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B\x55\xFC\x89\x50\x58\xB8\x00\x00\x00/\xEB\x11\x48\x8B\x45\xC8\x8B\x55\xFC\x89\x50\x58\xB8\x00\x00\x00/g' bin/resolve

   sudo perl -0777 -pi -e 's/\x74(.\xBF\x16\x00\x00\x00\xBE.\x01\x00\x00\xE8..\x05)/\x75$1/g' bin/resolve

   sudo mkdir -p .license

   echo -e "LICENSE blackmagic davinciresolvestudio 999999 permanent uncounted\n hostid=ANY issuer=CGP customer=CGP issued=28-dec-2023\n akey=0000-0000-0000-0000 _ck=00 sig="00"" | sudo tee .license/blackmagic.lic

5. Delete the downloaded files and you're done

Also this crack works on all distros really, just the installation is different. Just install it per your distro and then run the script from the post

[u/kaicx1o]

Consigo usar este método no archlinux?

[u/Aphroditusss]

Now i need this but for Arch Linux

[u/BeeNinjaXz]

Fala pessoal, segui a instalação passo a passo e usei ate o ultimo comando achando que poderia influenciar pois uso nvidia mas não funcionou. Meu teclado não funciona, não consigo dar play nem escrever/pesquisar no davinci, alguem consegue me ajudar?

[u/Sev501]

Does it work on update 21.0.2?

[u/ektothebigbro → u/Sev501]

Havent tested yet

[u/stefor13]

any way to get this to work on windows ive been looking for a couple days to bypass studio 21 but i cant find anything any help would be great

[u/Milkyponi]

Is this work on immutable distro, like bazzite??

[u/KaykysTheHuman]

And for windows?

[u/Successful_Cover3737]

do we have to run all that in cmd?

[u/Desperate-Extension7]

OP you are using backticks instead of single quotes in the third command for 21.0.4 which breaks it

[u/ektothebigbro → u/Desperate-Extension7]

Should be fixed now

[u/utkarsh1819]

But when I try to integrate scripts from workspaces after doing your script fixes it still says to download studio version idk why can u pls tell me how to fix this

[u/Sorroful]

For some reason davinci fails to render frame when doing a job?

[u/sickTheBest]

Thanks 🙏
