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

Registration and Activation
Once the software is installed and run for the first time, 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 mail server may corrupt it.

The Please Register R-Studio for Mac Demo window will appear.

You may register your copy of R-Studio if you already have a registration key, or continue in Demo mode if you want to estimate chances for successful data recovery. You may register your Demo version later on-the-fly without restarting the program

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.

If the license is not activated, the License Agreement window will appear.

Review the License Agreement and accept its terms and conditions, as you cannot continue without doing so.
