Maybe nobody realizes we don‘t answer the obvious question (that we bury down the page) at all?

Q: I purchased Capture One Express with my camera. How is it possible for you to deactivate my license?

A: While Capture One Express may have been bundled with certain cameras, it has always been available as a free software. The license provided with the camera purchase does not entail a monetary transaction for the software itself.

So what? Why the hell do you deactivate a bought product?

I have such a Fuji license, never used it much, but CaptureOne is still dead in perpetuity to me.

Exactly my sentiment. I didn't use it much (came with the camera), but occasionally did and thought it'd be a decent program to buy if I needed more raw editing. No way that's happening now.
