  • Accessing the Resolve database on an unlicensed computer

    Hi

    I’ve just done a job in the US where I installed and used my own copy of Resolve to complete the grade.

    I was careful to make sure I did regular database “export+”‘s, but made some last minute minor changes in a rush and completely forgot to export+ my final project.

    I have now returned to Australia with my dongle, and realised my mistake. My client in the US won’t be able to open Resolve to export+ my final database.

    I was wondering (and I have done a search but can’t find anything specific to my issue).. Is there any way to copy a folder/file from the mac in the US and replace it on my computer in Aus to access and export+ my database files?

    Could he try installing lite? would all the databases still be there?

    Cheers
    Chris

    AFIK Lite doesn’t support any export functions. Whether the opposite direction is available…. Good question. And if you used any functions that Lite doesn’t support, like NR, the project won’t completely reconstitute.

    However, two words: Fed Ex.

    you can use pgadmin to export the database, and then restore that to your system.

    Lite does support export – I have used the export function to move a project from one Lite comp to another. I don’t know about going from licensed to lite though.

    Brilliant – pgadmin did the trick, thanks!

    Yeah I am still in a fix for lite..that it is based on licensed or not..Although it’s basically favored to the import functionality.
