      Owners of these viDoc distributed by Pix4D devices do not need any Pix4d valid license to connect with the PIX4Dcatch app and will have enabled all PIX4Dcatch Professional features by default.

      If you did not buy your viDoc distributed from Pix4D, please contact Pix4D sales for options.
