1. R-Studio licenses for Windows, Mac, and Linux are separate products in our webstore, and their licenses are not interchangeable. The following instructions are for R-STUDIO (for Windows) Standalone and Corporate licenses. For instructions on the technician versions, please visit the R-Studio Technician and T80+ pages.
2. R-Studio Standalone and Corporate licenses are assigned per machine, not per user. Once the software is installed, registered and activated on a machine, it is permanently tied to that machine and cannot be transferred. For more details, please refer to the End User License Agreement.
3. If you have purchased an incorrect license or have any concerns regarding the software's functionality or licensing terms, it is imperative that you contact us before activating the license on your intended computer.
4. You can download the software setup files from the download page or from our "My Order" portal.

All R-Studio licenses require online activation via the Internet to complete the registration process during the initial installation or re-installation. Once registered and activated, R-Studio Standalone and R-Studio Corporate can be used offline without needing re-activation, except for periodic license verification that happen in the background. R-Studio Emergency runs from removable media and must be registered and activated each time it is used on the licensed machine. If the computer where you plan to install and activate R-Studio does not have an Internet connection, you will need to complete the activation manually using a QR code and a smartphone.

Please note that R-Studio software does not transmit your data to R-TT, except for the information outlined in our R-TT privacy policy.

1. Once the software is installed, access our email with the registration key and its copy attached in a .txt file. Open the attachment, then select and copy the key. You can also copy the key directly from the message, but sometimes the key is corrupted by the mail server.

2. Launch R-Studio. If the license is not activated, a registration window will appear at startup. If the software is running in Demo mode or needs re-registration, access the registration window through the Help > Register menu.
