Once you download Capture One Express from our website, the license key will appear on the screen. Also, you will receive an e-mail with your license code to activate Capture One Express. However, the e-mail may sometimes be located other than the Inbox folder, so check your Spam, Social, and other categories in your e-mail box.

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 I have paid, or no capture one has withdrawn my bank account and i can not get access to it.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.Please sign in to leave a comment.
