Opening non-Sony files from online tutorial

jphilpit
I own a Sony A7Rii so a week ago I bought the Sony version of Capture One Pro. I'm going through an online tutorial from FStoppers where the lessons include Capture One .cocatalogdb files with several non-Sony images and related files. When I try to open the Capture One file I see the images in the filmstrip, but every image is listed as "Offline." Is that because the images are not from a Sony camera? Or some other reason? Is there anything I can do to follow along with the tutorial in my situation?

    You can only adjust Sony raws when running CO with the the Sony license.
    The full CO Pro license covers all supported cameras.

    Can you revert to Pro trial mode for doing the tutorial?

    So, the question has become whether I can still open the trial version. I did download the trial version (non-Sony) and it was only a few days later that I bought the Sony version. I don't see that non-Sony version in either my Windows Start menu or the list of programs available for uninstalling. So I'm guessing that buying the Sony version overwrote the trial version. I'm reluctant to just try (for example) uninstalling the Sony version until I know that I can (a) reinstall the trial and then later (b) reinstall the paid-for Sony version. Can anyone assure me that I'll be able to (a) revert to the trial version and then (b) get back my licensed Sony version.

    There's only one app. You choose your license from the menus : Capture One 9 > License…

    No need to uninstall/reinstall anything.

    I don't see a menu pick for "License" in any of the menu dropdowns. Note that I'm running in Windows 10, so the top-level menus are: File, Edit, View, Adjustments, Image, Camera, Window, and Help. I'd expect to see what you're suggesting under the File menu, but it's not there. The closest I come to a "License" pick is "License Information" in the Help menu, but I see no way in that dialog box to change to a different license.

    Am I not seeing something? Or is there another way to change back to the trial license (temporarily)?

    Thanks, everyone.

    Sorry, I don't know where to find it in Windows. I never really used CO on this OS.

    Have you tried to deactivate your license in "License information"? I think it will let you select another one.

    Hi

    License is under "Help" in Windows.
    Different on Mac where it is under "Capture One 9" menu which does not exist on Windows.

    Just a difference on how Windows and Mac programs are designed.
