Re: DaVinci Resolve 9 Released

[Rohit Gupta] "If you want to run V8 and V9 alongside, just make sure you don't upgrade the V8 database when prompted after you install V9. Create a new DB for V9, and use it. If you want to go back to V8, just re-install V8, and it will work off the V8 database."

My 2009 iMac with AMD Radeon 4850 GPU doesn't quite satisfy the requirements of Resolve I understand. However it did run version 8.x Lite but not in real time - fair enough. However every attempt with Resolve 9.0b1 causes the iMac (Mountain Lion, 16 GB RAM) to crash to machine. I did create a new database so I thought I'll go back to verify 8.2.2 works under Mountain Lion with my version 8 database. Reinstalled 8.2.2.

But 8.2.2 Lite won't load saying I'm not licensed and abruptly quitting without letting me proceed in any way. Never had a licensing issue before with the Lite. Caught between a rock and a hard place. Ideal solution is to buy a new iMac but need to wait until 2013.
