April 23, 2025 6:25 am
funciono perfecto tanto en mi macbookpro 2018 como en mi mac mini m4pro super agradecido.. lo uni que hice fue ir a aplicaciones.. davinci resolve.. davinci resolve y darle click derecho mostrar contenido.. contents… en la carpeeta mac os.. remplazar el archivo resolve exec.. luego darle atras y buscar la carpet libraries.. fusion… y remplazar el archivo libfusionsystem exec y listo no se debe hacer mas nada ya queda activo
April 23, 2025 7:23 am
Works fine, just replace bott libfusionsystem and Resolve
April 23, 2025 8:08 am
Thanks Jose. the method works. Here is the translation in English.
The text describes a method to activate DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.0b1 on macOS devices, specifically a MacBook Pro 2018 and a Mac Mini M4 Pro. The user shares their gratitude for the process working seamlessly. Here’s a breakdown of the steps mentioned:
Access Application Contents: Navigate to the DaVinci Resolve application, right-click on it, and select “Show Contents.”
Replace Files in macOS Folder: Within the “Contents” folder, locate the “Mac OS” directory and replace the resolve exec file.
Replace Files in Libraries Folder: Go back to the “Contents” folder, find the “Libraries” directory, then the “Fusion” subfolder, and replace the libfusionsystem exec file.
Activation Complete: After replacing these files, the software becomes active without requiring further steps.
This process appears to be a workaround for activation issues with DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.0b1, as discussed in the surrounding page content. Let me know if you’d like further clarification!

L’unica cosa che ho fatto è stata andare su Applicazioni → DaVinci Resolve → DaVinci Resolve, cliccare con il tasto destro su “Mostra contenuto pacchetto”, entrare in Contents → nella cartella MacOS e sostituire il file “resolve exec”.
Poi tornare indietro, cercare la cartella Libraries → Fusion e sostituire il file “libFusionSystem exec”, e basta, non bisogna fare nient’altro: rimane già attivato.

After installing DR 20 change the 2 files given in the crack as per the path given. then go to the tereminal and copy the commands given and enter your password hit and again copy the second command given in the bottom hit enter it is through. first install 19.1.4 and then install 20. it works for me. my system is desktop hackintosh 15.4.1
April 28, 2025 7:44 am
Got it — you’re getting the error:
zsh: command not found: blackmagic
Here’s what’s wrong:
In the script, you have blackmagic sitting alone after the equals sign in this line:
license_content=”LICENSE blackmagic davinciresolvestudio $(printf “%06d” $((RANDOM % 1000000))) permanent uncounted
(and then more lines)
However, your quotes ” are wrong (they are smart quotes, not regular quotes “) — and because of that, zsh thinks blackmagic is a command to run, not part of a string.
In other words:
zsh sees license_content=LICENSE (bad parsing because of bad quotes)
then it tries to run blackmagic, and fails (command not found).
Here is the fixed command:
license_content=”LICENSE blackmagic davinciresolvestudio $(printf “%06d” $((RANDOM % 1000000))) permanent uncounted
hostid=ANY issuer=CGP customer=CGP issued=$(LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 date +%d-%b-%Y)
akey=$(printf “%04d-%04d-%04d-%04d-%04d” $((RANDOM % 10000)) $((RANDOM % 10000)) $((RANDOM % 10000)) $((RANDOM % 10000)) $((RANDOM % 10000))) _ck=00 sig=\”00\””
sudo mkdir -p “/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/.license”
echo “$license_content” | sudo tee “/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/.license/blackmagic.lic” >/dev/null
The other command is not correct because:
You are using a wrong hyphen (–) instead of the correct minus sign (-) for options like –force, –deep, –sign.
Your -sign flag is missing the name of the certificate (even if you intend to use an ad-hoc signature, you must explicitly set – or -s -).
Correct version:
sudo codesign –force –deep –sign – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
April 28, 2025 2:48 pm

Hello,
Terminal ask me for the key but I can’t put any words or number.
Appear the symbol of the key but the keyboard only work the enter.
Anyone knows why?
Thanks!!
April 30, 2025 4:40 am
For me, nothing worked until I deleted the indicated files instead of replacing them, and then copied the correct ones from the Patch folder. I don’t know why, but my system (Mac with M1 Max, Sequoia 15.3.2) wouldn’t let me replace those files. Now everything works fine.
April 30, 2025 3:51 pm
non funziona in nessun modo nè con il comando da terminale fornito nelle 2 versioni nè sostituendo i 2 file patch
nemmeno se si cancellano prima di copiarli

Same here I tried all the option proposed ( Andy’s and aa’s method) nothing worked. I tried to install it on top a DR19.1.4 as well. Macbook air M1 here
May 2, 2025 2:12 am
Ok so I found the way to solve the problem. You have to download “blackmagic.lic” (you can find it on google, I downloaded it on addrom). I think that’s the reason you need to have DR 19.1.4 installed in the first place so you already have that file on your computer.
Go to /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve
Display hidden file in this folder (cmd+shif+.)
drag the “blackmagic.lic” into the /.license folder
Done you can now open the software.
Hope that help!
Cheers

@ HSQrs – This is the magic solution. It worked. But it’s better to download, or at least fastest downloading the 19.1.4 in this web and take the patch / license.zip. and follow your steps. It really worked.
Very Big Thanks mate.

This version worked for me out of the box on my hackintosh (14900k, 64Gb Ram, 6900XT, Proart z790). On my Mac mini m4 pro it didn’t until I download blackmagic.lic and follow HSQrs intrustions. Both systems are running Sequoia 15.4.1. Thank you!
May 9, 2025 4:20 am
I follow the Andy Steps, it does not work until i add the Bob command but using the right syntax (because copy and pasting it does’nt work).

HSQrs >>>>> Thank you very much! It wasn’t working by the traditional method of just replacing the Resolve and libfusionsystem files. I downloaded the blackmagic.lic file from the ROMhub website and followed their instructions. It worked perfectly! I’m using a Mac Mini M4 – Sequoia 15.1. I’m from Brazil and you helped me a lot! Thank you!!!
May 16, 2025 2:57 pm
It works perfectly (Mac M4 Sequoia) just by replacing the two files in the respective folders as explained by Andy. No need to use the terminal. Thanks
