What do you need help with?

For ver. 5 license users
  • Is the bundled license key that previously came with selected products only useable for rekordbox ver. 5?

    That's right. You can't activate rekordbox ver. 6 with a ver. 5 license key.

    You'll need to take out a paid subscription plan to control ver. 6 PERFORMANCE mode via DJ equipment, unless you have a Hardware Unlock device.

    Hardware Unlock devices can control PERFORMANCE mode even if you use the Free plan.
