How to switch to another activation mode?

PROBLEM

I want to switch from the current mode (product variant) of the software to another one. How can I do that?

I have recently purchased the license for Capture One Pro/for Fujifilm/(for Sony)/for Nikon, but Capture One still runs in a trial mode. How to fix that?

I want to switch from Capture One Express to the full version. How can I do that?

Switch to another activation mode

Capture One 20

Step 1. First of all, you have to deactivate the current Capture One license either directly in the software or in the account on the Capture One website. Follow the steps outlined in this article - deactivate the software.

NOTE: As all product variants are embedded in a single download file, there is no need to download Capture One once again if you need to switch to a different product variant.

Step 2. For Capture One 20, just re-launch the software and the activation windows will instantly appear.

You will have to get a license key for any of the product variants:

• Obtain the license key for Capture One trial
• Get the license key for Capture One Express Fujifilm / (for Sony)
• Get the license key for Capture One Pro / Fujifilm / (for Sony) / for Nikon in our web shop

For Capture One 12 and previous versions

Re-launch the software. You will be prompted to select your Capture One product and activate it.

Step 3. Enter your Capture One License Key and email address. This must be the e-mail address you used when purchasing the license. Then click Get Profile.

Step 4. Verify your password associated with your Capture One profile. If everything is entered correctly, your profile information will be automatically filled. Then click Activate.
