Once activated, you can take several steps to ensure the software runs better than the standard out-of-the-box configuration: 1. Allocate More RAM

Unofficial activation tools often hide malware or miners. A genuine key ensures your personal data and your media library remain uncompromised.

While it might be tempting to look for "cracks" or "keygen" files, using an official activation key is objectively better for your system and your project’s safety.

If you have a dedicated GPU (Nvidia or AMD), make sure hardware acceleration is toggled . This significantly reduces the time it takes to generate previews and export finished albums. 3. Use the Metadata Batcher

Ensure your key matches the version (Point 50 vs. older Point 45).
