1. R-Studio licenses for Linux, Windows, and Mac are separate products in our webstore, and their licenses are not interchangeable. The following instructions are for R-STUDIO (for Linux) 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.
