To download Mocha Pro, install the Boris FX Hub from the vendor's site, choose Mocha Pro for your host (Adobe, OFX or Avid) or the standalone app, install it, and register for the free 14 day trial. The trial is the full program. When you buy, the licence activates the same installation.
What you get
The installer contains the current release, version 2026.5, with every module: planar and PowerMesh tracking, Point Track ML, the AI matte tools, Remove, Stabilize, Insert, Lens and the 3D Camera Solve. You choose a plugin build for your host family or the standalone application. The vendor does not publish the installer size, so plan for a large download and keep several gigabytes of free space on a fast drive.
Only download from the official site. Copies from other sites can carry malware and will not activate, because licences are checked against your machine.

Licences can be deactivated and moved, which the program has supported since version 5.
