This is a very commonly asked and valid question by most software buyers.

Every software company has its own policy of allowing users to install their wares on one or more computers. So it is always safe to check either with Sudeep Audio product description or the FAQs page on the manufacturer site to know the answer.

However, to help you save time in doing all this research, the general rule of thumb is followed by most as under:
1. A serial / challenge based product can be installed on 2 machines under the same user id.

2. If  product uses a physical USB key for licenses (say iLok or eLicenser), then the product license remains on it. So you can install your software on as many computers you want to. But it will work only on that machine in which a valid license dongle is connected.

3. Some companies give you an option to use the Serial / Challenge unlock method OR use an iLok. So it is upto you on what method you want to opt for at the time of product registration itself.

4, Some products do allow more than 2 installations or in some cases, don’t ask you to get a challenge code. But then their license terms state that the user has to be the same person. This is done in pure good faith by such companies, hoping that the liberty given will not be misused.

What if i format my computer?

Though it is rare for Macs to be formatted now and then, even a PC with original Windows OS does not require frequent formatting. However, it is surely possible you may need to do it.

In such cases, inform the plugin or DAW company that you’re doing it BEFORE actually doing it. So at their end, they will delete the computer ID number associated to your account. And once you start afresh, you will be given a new activation code by them.

Frequent or constant requests like “hey i formatted my PC again” will surely raise flags. And then it is upto the software company to issue a new license or not.

What is iLok Cloud?

The iLok Cloud allows iLok Cloud-enabled software to be authorized by any compatible license located in the user’s iLok Account (no need for a physical iLok USB or machine-licensing). This feature requires that the computer is continuously connected to the internet during use. So if you want to avoid being constantly connected to the Net, use the physical iLok instead.

As an original software buyer, we salute you for supporting the developers and dealers who bring such amazing tools to you. However, it is highly recommended that you sign up for the “insurance” plans for the physical USB keys that carry your licenses – eLicenser and iLok.

Note: These plans are sold directly by the companies and not by any dealer in the world.

MULTIPLE SEAT EDU LICENSE (eligible for Fruity / Producer / Signature Bundle / ALL Plugins Bundle)

• A Site License grants an educational institution the license to use the FL Studio software products on a specified number of the institution’s computers on one campus.
• The software may be used for teaching, research, and administrative purposes. Any form of commercial use is explicitly prohibited. Commercial use is defined as use of the software, documentation, or data for any use relating to “for profit” purposes.
• This Site License software is not intended to be installed and operated on student-owned computers.
• The software belongs solely to the purchasing institution.

The iLok Cloud allows iLok Cloud-enabled software to be authorized without the use of an iLok USB or a machine license.

This feature requires that the computer be continuously connected to the internet during use.

How do I close an iLok Cloud Session?
In the iLok License Manager (4.0 or greater), go to FILE -> Close Cloud Session

In most cases, there is no need to close a Cloud Session. Some users will want to close their Cloud Sessions to be able to move an activation to a physical device or computer.

Not all computer systems will have a reliable Internet connection, so moving the activation to the iLok USB hardware is an option for those users.

Opening an iLok Cloud session, will move the session to the computer you are at and will close the session in the old location.

When you close the iLok Cloud session, it will remain closed.

Yes… yay! 🙂

But with some conditions:

We’re reasonable and understand that you probably have one or more home computers, a laptop and probably one at work too. You may also have both Windows and macOS computers. Using a single license across multiple computers AND operating systems is OK.

Provided…

You are the only person using FL Studio, the plugin or whatever software you purchased. The best way to ensure this is to install FL Studio for your personal account (not ‘All users’). So yes, multiple installations are OK, where you are the only user.

This option is not applicable to companies, organizations or schools, they need to purchase a multiple license version.

Abuse

Be aware that abuse of this privilege will not be tolerated. Where we detect more than one person using the same license, your Software license can be revoked and account deactivated (see our End User License Agreement).

** WARNING **

Not only do we prohibit you sharing your FL Studio activation with friends, it is a particularly bad idea, since you can’t control who they pass it onto. Think seriously, best friends, have other best friends, and you may not always be best friends with your best friend. Once your license is ‘out there’ it will spread, quickly.  We have seen cases of a license ending up on the internet within weeks and 10,000’s attempted installations after we shut an account down.

Different versions of FL Studio:

FL Studio Windows 32 & 64 bit – You can install both of these versions using the same registration on all your computers, under the conditions listed above.

FL Studio for macOS – This program can be installed on all your Mac computers, under the same conditions listed above.
