Installing Capture One

All desktop variants of Capture One are contained in the same installer. The procedure is exactly the same whether you are a Pro, Express, or manufacturer variant license holder.

 

macOS

  1. Run the Capture One disk image file (.dmg) to mount the Capture One application bundle.
    You may also see a dialog box asking for an action confirmation
  2. Drag the Capture One application file to the Applications folder.
    Note that if you move the application file to another location and run it from there, you will have problems with activation
  3. Run Capture One from your Applications folder

 

Microsoft Windows

  1. Run the Capture One installer executable file (.exe).
    Your OS may ask if you allow this app to make changes to your device, you need to agree in order to install Capture One
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
    Note that Capture One will initiate the download and installation of Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Edge Webview2 Runtime, if you do not already have it
  3. Run Capture One from desktop, start menu or the installation directory

 

Updating Capture One

Updates are not performed via a "patch" meaning that a new version of Capture One will need to be installed on top of your existing configuration.

There is an option to schedule a reminder from the application Preferences.

You can also check if a new version of Capture One is available by launching the Capture One app, going to the Capture One menu on macOS or the Help menu on Windows, and choosing Check for Updates.

    I did pay for Capture One Pro 23 in October 22. Since my initial download and license code agreement I have not been able to upgrade nor start download for any upgraded Capture One Pro 23 upgrades. My license code is: 9YRK-7MXA-45EX-""""

    Would you please let me know what I must do to be able to access any new updates? 

     

    Best regards,
