License

License activation and management

Overview

A Nobe LutBake license covers 1 seat (one Mac at a time). You can deactivate the license on one machine and activate it on another whenever you need to move it.

Without a license, the app runs in demo mode — fully functional but limited to 17x17x17 LUT export. All other features (keyboard shortcut, file naming, DRX export, etc.) work without restriction.

Activating Your License

After purchasing, you will receive an email with your license key. To activate:

1. Open Nobe LutBake and go to Settings → License.

2. Enter your Email and License Key.

3. Click Activate.

Enter your email and license key to activate

After activation, restart DaVinci Resolve so the OFX plugin loads with the active license. The menu bar app picks up the license immediately, but the plugin needs a Resolve restart.

Activate with Code (Offline / Firewall)

If direct activation fails — for example due to a firewall or proxy, or because the machine has no internet access — expand Activate with Code in the License tab. You complete the request on a second, internet‑connected device (a phone is enough) and bring the result back to the app.

Activate with Code: request a file or code on another device, then import or paste it

The request page already includes this machine's Hardware ID, so there is nothing to copy by hand. Open it on your internet‑connected device in one of these ways:

• Show QR Code — scan the QR code with your phone's camera to open the request page directly.

• Open Request Page — open the page in a browser on the current machine (useful if it has limited or proxied internet access).

On the request page, enter your Email and License Key. You can then activate in either of two ways:

• Import a file — download the activation file, transfer it to this Mac, then click Import File and select it.

• Paste a code — copy the activation code shown on the page, paste it into the text field in the app, and click Activate.

Activated License

Once activated, the License tab shows your license status, email, and a masked license key.

Deactivating Your License

To move your license to a different Mac:

1. Open Settings → License.

2. Click Deactivate License.

3. The seat is released and can be activated on another machine.

Deactivation requires an internet connection. After deactivating, the app returns to demo mode (17x17x17 LUT limit).

FAQ

How many machines can I use the license on? One at a time. Deactivate on one Mac, then activate on another.

Do I need to be online to use Nobe LutBake after activation? No. An internet connection is only needed for activation and deactivation. Once activated, the app and plugin work offline.
