About rekordbox 6
Rekordbox Ddj 400 Pioneer App
I bought a piece of Pioneer DJ equipment that included a rekordbox dj license key. Can I use this DJ equipment to control PERFORMANCE mode in rekordbox ver. 6?
If the equipment isn't a rekordbox ver. 6 Hardware Unlock device, you'll need a subscription plan to control ver. 6 PERFORMANCE mode.
See a list of ver. 6 Hardware Unlock devices here.
Using DJ equipment that was bundled with a rekordbox dj license key, you can control ver. 5 PERFORMANCE mode.

No trial is available for rekordbox ver. 6, but a 30 Day Free Trial of the subscription plan is available.

I’ve installed rekordbox ver. 6. Can I use rekordbox ver. 5 on the same computer? /Can I use rekordbox ver. 5 and ver. 6 on the same computer?
You can use rekordbox ver. 5 on the same computer even after installing ver. 6.
However, you can't run ver. 5 and ver. 6 at the same time.
The following restrictions also apply.
- To use selected functions in ver. 5, you'll need the relevant license.
Please note: If you already have a ver. 5 license (purchased or bundled), you can continue to use ver. 5. As of April 2020, it will no longer be possible to purchase a new ver. 5 license key.
- To use selected functions in ver. 6, you'll need to take out the relevant subscription plan. When you run rekordbox ver. 6 for the first time and convert your library from the old version, all information such as cues, beatgrid, and playlists will be copied over. After this, the libraries of ver. 5 and ver. 6 do not sync. So, from then on, imported tracks and information such as cue points in one version won't be reflected in the other version.
