1: PR is not talking with Lr
2: PR can’t be activated
For 1: In order to communicate, PR needs to install the plugins. This can be done (a) during installation and/or (b) at a later time from PR’s respective menu item. If installation has failed in (a), please try (b) and test again. Relaunch Lr before testing and check, if you can see the PR plugins in Lr’s module manager.
For 2: Inability to activate can have several causes.
Typing error
I propose to check the code that you got and that can be found in your shop account. If PR is missing in the shop account, your purchase might have failed and then, you need to open a ticket → support.dxo.com and in it, provide your proof of purchase.
If your activation code was for testing, the free period might be over.
etc.
Please try the things above and report back, possibly with more details about versions, macOS/Win etc. Things like these can help you to get better hints faster.
Make sure your system time and date are correct. When I begrudgingly downgraded Windows 10 to Windows 11, I overlooked having the clock and calendar set automatically from the network, and my subsequent purchase from DxO would not activate until I fixed it.
You screen capture indicates that PR6 is installed on one PC. If that is the PC you are having the issue with, I propose to deauthorize the PC and restart it.
Once restarted,
launch the PureRAW app and enter your activation code
→ is the code accepted or do you get an error message. If so, take a screenshot of the message and post it here.
select the menu item to install the plugins
→ this should make sure that plugins are installed in the locations expected by Lightroom Classic.
wait a few seconds …
start Lr Classic and try to hand over RAW image to PureRAW by using the module option from Lightroom’s menu.
If it doesn’t work, restart the PC and try again. If it still doesn’t work, open a ticket on support.dxo.com. They might propose a live session im which they can access your PC remotely to assess the situation. If you don’t want that, you can also send all the necessary/requested info with the ticketing system.
I apologize for the delayed response to your suggestion.
I was concerned that deauthorizing the PC might cause problems, but according to experts, this shouldn’t be the case.
Unfortunately following your instructions didn’t resolve the issue either.
A few weeks ago, I also contacted DXO, but I haven’t heard back from them yet.
