Knowledge Base
The FL Studio installation folder contains default-install copies of several versions of the plugin database (excluding your own plugins).
An issue related to the plugin database that users sometimes face is plugins suddenly missing from the list in ‘ADD’ or when selecting the ‘+’ icon in the Channel Rack/Playlist.
Use this to change the default Plugin Database folder structure or set it back to the default installation configuration. You do this by copying all or part of this database as follows:
1. Windows: Using File Explorer navigate to the following location in FL Studio installation folder ‘. \Image-Line\FL Studio\Data\System\Plugin databases‘. (If you’re unable to see the ‘System‘ folder you may have to set your View options in File Explorer to show ‘Hidden Files’.)
MacOS: Navigate to Finder > Applications > FL Studio N, and select ‘Show Package Contents‘ from the right-click menu. Navigate to Contents > Resources > FL > Data > System > Plugin databases
2. Open the Plugin Database folder that corresponds to your desired folder structure. The sub-folders relate to different sorting/categorization options.
3. Copy the files and folders contained within the folder of choice.
FL Studio 20 and up ‘. \Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Presets\Plugin database’
FL Studio 12 ‘. \Program Files (x86)\Image-Line\FL Studio 12\Data\Patches\Plugin database‘.
Or alternatively which ever folder you’ve manually set as your user-data folder.
5. Delete the existing Effects and or Generators folders and files in this location.
6. Paste the previously copied files and folders from step 3.
7. Once you’ve completed the above steps you should perform a verified plugin scan to rescan your VST plugins with the following settings:
a. Open ‘Options > Manage plugins’.
b. Select the following options:
‘Rescan previously verified plugins’
‘Rescan plugins with errors’.
‘Verify plugins’.
c. Start scan.

Update, upgrade, reinstall or uninstall FL Studio & plugins
- Reboot (restart) your computer — This will make sure no system/program files are in use and can’t be overwritten. If you are updating, make sure not to start FL Studio until after you install the new version.
- Download the installer — This page hosts the latest ‘released’ versions. The FL Studio installer includes most plugins in native format, so no need to download them all.
- Install FL Studio — Use the installer to install the latest version of FL Studio. Normally this will install over the existing installation.
Windows — Updating an installation does not delete any of your personal files, only replacing existing program files.
- Online computer — Use the ‘About panel’ registration system. Enter your Image-Line accountemail and password and click Unlock products. This will unlock all your Image-Line products, not just FL Studio.
- Offline computer — From a computer with internet access, log into your Image-Line account. Click where it says ‘Click here to unlock this product‘ and save the FLRegkey.reg to portable media. Copy this to your FL Studio computer and THEN. Use the ‘About panel’ registration system >Unlock with file to browse to the key and open it.

Installation & Update FAQ
- Does my license allow me to use FL Studio on both Windows and macOS — Yes. Yay!
- Where do I get the installation file? — From the FL Studio downloads page. See the section above Easy installation or update above for more details.
- Do FL Studio Fruity, Producer or Signature Bundle have different installers? — No, a single Installer is used for all versions. Your license decides what features are unlocked and so what version and plugins you have. However some plugins do need separate installers (DirectWave sound libraries and Slayer 2).
- Do I need my USB drive or CD from the box? — No. Download the latest installer here. Enter your Image-Line account email and password on the About Panel to unlock FL Studio. You can also use older versions of FL Studio, downloaded from this page.
- Can I install more than one version of FL Studio? — Yes:
- macOS — Rename the App (in the Applications folder, e.g. FL Studio to FL Studio N) prior to installing the new version.
- Windows — Major revisions (i.e. 12 or 21) automatically install into a separate folders so you can have parallel installations. For minor revisions (i.e. 21.x to 21.y) you need to manually set the installer to a different folder, otherwise 21.x will be overwritten with 21.y.

Copying or migrating an existing FL Studio installation
This section has been provided to help users manage multiple installations and to locate data and files that fail to make the leap across to a new installation. Generally it isn’t necessary to be rummaging around in the bowels of the installation folder during an update.
Migrate FL Studio 20, or higher, to a new machine
- Download and Install FL Studio — The latest version of FL Studio is available here and install it.
- Update your license — Use the ‘About panel’ registration system.
- VST/AU Plugins — If you are using 3rd party plugins, install them on the new machine and copy associated library data in the process.
- File settings — There are some search paths to match between the old and new installations:
- Custom folders — Browser extra search folders. You will need to manually copy any 3rd party sample and plugin data from the old machine to the new machine. This data does not have to go into the same folder location on the new machine, it just needs to be visible to FL Studio by setting the locations in the Custom folders settings.
- Custom VST/AU install locations — Plugin manager > Plugin search paths.
- User data folder — . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\. The FL Studio sub-folder should contain all your FL Studio related files (Audio recordings, Projects, Plugin database/favorites etc). Copy the entire . \Documents\Image-Line folder from the old to the new machine.
- Open FL Studio and test your projects.
Migrate from FL Studio 11/12 to FL Studio 20 or higher
Your main task is to make sure the File Settings plus custom search paths from FL Studio 11/12 and FL Studio 20 (and above) match. You must also copy your data in the old FL Studio installation folder, as listed below, to the new User data folder location. FL Studio 20 marked the change where we stopped saving user data inside the FL Studio installation folder and used the ‘User data folder‘. This means, next time you update FL Studio the steps below won’t be necessary as all the information will be in this new location, outside the FL Studio install.
About the User data folder: From FL Studio 12 (and lower) the Shared data folder has been renamed to User data folder. It now contains ALL your custom FL Studio files. The default location is: . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio. FL Studio creates the FL Studio sub-folder, so you don’t need to add it yourself. You can change the location at any time from the File Settings. However, the paths listed below assume your ‘User data folder’ is set to: . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\. If you have set it elsewhere, you will need to take this into account as you follow the instructions below.
- Download and Install FL Studio — The latest version of FL Studio is available here. Install it. This will install parallel to FL Studio 20 or lower, not overwrite earlier versions. None of your existing data will be lost. However, you will need to tell FL Studio where your data and plugins are, as shown below:
- Update your license — Use the ‘About panel’ registration system.
- File settings — Here are the key search paths to match between the old and new installations:
- Custom folders — Browser extra search folders.
- Custom VST/AU install locations — Plugin manager > Plugin search paths.

. \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Presets\Plugin database
Uninstalling FL Studio & Plugins
- Remove your license (Windows only) — Download the file and follow the instructions here in the Knowledgebase to remove your registry keys.
- Delete the installation files — As shown here. Follow the Windows or macOS Manual Uninstall / Clean Install steps.
- Delete user data:. \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\WARNING! This is where your project data is stored. Deleting this deletes everything you have made in FL Studio, so remember to back it up if you want to keep this data.
Default File Locations (FL Studio 20 and above)
User data — All FL Studio user data is saved to a ‘FL Studio’ subfolder under . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio (this is the same for Windows and macOS). If you keep this folder backed up, you should never lose any project related data or settings ever again! If you want to move this data elsewhere, change the User data folder location in the File settings and manually copy all your data to the new location.
- Windows: ‘. \Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Projects’ folder.
- macOS: ‘. \Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Projects’ folder.
If you have updated from FL Studio 12 or lower, you will see an ‘Old projects‘ folder in the Browser, this points to the legacy project location. We recommend moving your projects this new location!
Complete file location list
- Extra search folders — Extra search folders are custom folders you can add to the Browser. If you are updating, make sure to set any ‘Browser extra search folders’ to the same location as in the previous FL Studio installation (F10 > File).
- Samples, project & other program files:
- . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\ — Any data saved from a plugin will default to a sub-folder of the plugins name.
- . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\ — All user related FL Studio files. NOTE: If you back this folder up, you should have saved all your work and presets.

- . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Presets\Plugin Presets\Generators or Effects\[Plugin name] — Plugin specific presets.
- NOTE: If you want to reset your plugin database to default: . \Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio\Data\System\Plugin databases — You can find the default Plugin database (full), (simple) and (user) here. Copy any of these to . \Users\[your computer account]\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Presets\Plugin database.
