I'm prepping a new MacBook Pro and cannot for the life of me get my C1 license going. This is MADDENING.
Why is it allways a problem to get access to my account here in capture one pro. Same problem every year. I am going back to lightroom next year. It is so much more userfriendly and it is never a problem to get access to your account. I have paid, or no capture one has withdrawn my bank account and i can not get access to it. You need to be an it engineer to manage it. I am irritated!!
I can't get a license code to install capture one for my XT3. The email does not arrive.
Hey,
I won't get an mail after I'm asked to enter the e-mail-adress linked to my account when I want to look at my order history.
Hello Maryna Sopilniak,
I Just installed Capture One Pro 23 into my laptop last night. This morning when I turned on my computer to finish my work it was gone. Nowhere to be found. I tried everything suggested to reinstall Capture One to no avail.
Maryna Sopilniak can you please send a request for help to your support team.
Thank you very much for your help.
Have a Phenomenal Day,

I need assistance because I can no longer install Capture One 21 with a perpetual license.
I have already asked assistance for help since the end of May with several dialogue emails, the problem has NOT been solved and the operator is no longer responding.
I followed the uninstall and installation procedures suggested because the sw had problems but the password in my possession and subsequently also a new temporary password sent to me are not recognized as valid.
I urgently need Capture One because I have 4 photo shoots to process: can anyone help me???
as always. facing unwanted and unnecessary complications
I have a License key, but its still not being validated..been a user since 2013 and I still have to face the regularly... and its not a cheap investment considering the back end support
I purchased a licence key o nov 8 2023 but my C1 23Pro is at level 16.1.0.126 Is it the reason why I can't get AI brush? I had try to reinstall it 2 times, so now i can install it once! What can i do to be able to use the new bush? I don't want to repay 349 € .
Many thanks for help

I purchased the official version of the service on my trial version, but when I entered the license code, it showed that my email did not purchase it. I paid with Alipay
Y'all suck for discontinuing express. Losing out on a customer base by pushing a premium product that doesn't offer anything better than the rest of the market. Smart
Dear Support-Team,
after updating, my licence key isn't working anymore. It just says, my licence seems to be invalid. I paid for it, annual subscription. How to get it working again?
I'm fed up three times a day (and sometimes buying session coverage) they ask me to connect and give my credentials to check the license what is this story I don't have time to relate to This. The system exaggerates in addition only one computer is informed about the license while I have several it is scandalous to ask the same thing all the time
