As you can see, the only reason to stay on 9.30 is if you have an older PC (Intel 6th-8th Gen) and you hate subscriptions. If you have a modern RTX GPU, you should be using Resolve or the official Edius X. Assuming you have purchased a legitimate Edius 9.30 serial key from a verified reseller, follow this guide to ensure you never see an activation error again. Edius 9.30 Lifetime Activation Offline
