To get the activation to work, I had to run the following:
sudo chown -R <user> /opt/resolve/
Without this I just got the generic "There was an error attempting to perform the activation"
I am guessing this is because my user did not have access to write to the folder.
I am unsure if this is the best approach though as I suspect this could cause issues when I go to run an update later.

IMPORTANT!
Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.
To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.
This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.
