Be careful with ChatGPT!!!
It lies (at least sometimes it does), I just caught it.
I purchased a licence for DR Studio version.
My readings long ago told me that once a licence is bought, the upgrades from version to version are free. I need to run DR 18.6.
But I wasn’t completely sure, and tried to search for a positive info.
As I did not find it in my hurry, and the chance of the excellent deal on e-bay seemed to fade slowly, I asked chatGPT.
It told me then an absolutely negative answer.
(Now I repeated my question, just to see wether it still “lies”, and yes, it does.)
davinci resolve studio 18.6 can be activated using a serial for studio 17?

No, you cannot activate DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.6 using a serial key for Studio 17. Each version of DaVinci Resolve Studio requires its own specific activation key, so the serial key for version 17 will not work with version 18.6.
If you’ve upgraded to DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.6, you will need to purchase a new license or obtain an updated serial key that is compatible with this latest version. Blackmagic Design typically offers upgrades to users who purchased the software within a certain time frame, but if you have an older version, a new purchase is necessary.
Thanks God, I started to find the positive answers, like this

So I took the courage, and made the deal on e-bay.
I’m more than happy, as the activation of the version 18.6 went smooth on both my laptop and my desktop.
If I had believed ChatGPT, I would not have a Studio version bought for cheap.
Don’t believe blindly what the AI tells, it may fool you!
