Possible Reasons :

 
A. Your Windows PC's  registry contains a FL Studio registration, but the registration code for your FL Studio has not been updated to work with the latest FL Studio version.

eg. this can happen when you downloaded & install a new version of the FL Studio software without getting a new updated registration key. We update regkeys with each new release to activate new features.

 

B. You have a box registration lower than version 8, and try to activate the one time free update for your box using a download registration file.

C. You were using an illegal version of our software before, and now have a problem with the activation of the official version.

 

Solution A:
 
  1. Download and install the latest version of FL Studio.
  2. Register using these instructions.
  3. FL Studio and the registration system should now be in sync.
 
Solution B:
 
We no longer support FL Studio registrations lower than version 9. Our current registration file only unlocks versions 9 and higher.

If you own an FL Studio box version 8 or lower, you can only install & register your program from the CD-ROM and unlock it with your box serial number. Only the box version you bought can be installed/registered, not the higher version.

If you'd like to register a higher version (9 and up) please buy 'lifetime free updates' from our web shop.
 
 
Solution C:
 
If you don't own an official copy of our software, please buy it from our web shop or at a reseller.
OR if you do own an FL Studio for Windows registration, you have a program registration lower than version 11.

We understand there are many reasons people use illegal copies of programs, but the legitimate customers are what makes us able to keep developing our products, and providing support and content in the future. 
 
Purchasing FL Studio comes with a lot of perks, like being able to participate in our forums, getting access to many free sample and preset packs, getting support from real people and most importantly, getting Life Time Free Updates. That means you will get every version of FL Studio released in the future, for FREE! So please do the right thing and buy a copy and we would be happy to welcome you into the FL Studio family.
