Users simply have to sign into the new version entering their Username and Password and their existing license(s) will appear in the list for them to activate (Pro and Avid DNxHD). Any existing licenses still to expire on the current release of lightworks will be honoured in the new ELS system. To use the new licensing system, users sign into the application using their Lightworks Username and Password (an internet connection MUST be present on the system for this).

The Lightworks team says they hope that anyone who was discouraged by HASP issues will come back and try Lightworks without it. Much to everyone's relief, it's dropped the HASP licensing scheme that was pretty unpopular with everyone, as it was snarky and very difficult to administer. This has some major upgrades (detailed below) as well as easier installation and registration. On May 28th this year, Lightworks 11.1 is launched. If you found Lightworks hard to install or difficult to use with your media - now's the time to give it another try. It's a year since Lightworks for Windows (version 11.00) was launched, Now, Version 11.1 is released, dropping HASP, and with a free 30 day Pro trial.
