Install and unlock FL Studio

Once authorized, you can now download and install FL Studio. There are two methods to unlock the software; online or offline. Just go to the download page, install the software for your OS, and then unlock FL Studio.

Go to the FL Studio download page and locate the latest installer file for your OS. If you already have the demo version installed, you can skip to Step 3.
Open your Downloads folder and double-click the .exe file (PC) or .dmg file (Mac) and follow the on-screen instructions.
Launch FL Studio, click Help, then select About. Enter your account login credentials, then click Unlock with account.
Restart the program.

IMPORTANT: If you update your version of FL Studio, you will need to download and install a new registry (.reg) key.

If the computer you're using is offline, or if you're authorizing an Image-Line plug-in, you'll need to unlock it using a reg key file. You'll need to download the .Reg file, and if you're on an offline computer, use a thumb drive to transfer the file to the offline computer. Follow these steps to unlock your software utilizing the reg key.

On a computer connected to the internet, sign in to your Image-Line account, then click Unlock Products.
Navigate to Unlock VST Plugins/Alternative Unlock for FL Studio, then click the picture of the keyboard to download the .Reg file.
- Alternatively, you can click the link below the picture to download the file.
Transfer the FLRegkey.Reg file to a thumb drive, then connect the thumb drive to the offline computer.
Launch FL Studio, click Help, select About, then click Unlock with key.
Navigate to the .Reg file location, select that, then click Open. Restart the software to complete the unlock process.
