This section takes you through the Studio One installation and activation process.
Installation
The process for registering, installing, and authorizing your copy of Studio One will differ, depending on the method you used to acquire it.
Retail Purchase If you bought Studio One in a retail box and only received a Product Key in the box, you'll register the key and then download Studio One, and then activate it online upon first launching the product.
- Studio One 4 Offline Activation If the computer on which Studio One has been installed is not connected to the Internet, click Activate Offline in the Studio One Activation window.Do not check the box that reads 'I have purchased an ugprade of Studio One' unless you do not have the software registered to your account.
- That’s why Studio One just plain sounds better. The reason why Studio One resonates with musicians is simple: PreSonus listens. Many new features in Version 4 are the direct result of user feedback, including AAF import/export so users can bring song data from their old DAW into Studio One.
Direct Purchase from Shop.PreSonus.com If you bought the software directly from http://shop.presonus.com, installation and activation happen entirely online and the purchased software is automatically added to your user account.
Retail or Direct Purchase of USB Flash Drive If you're installing Studio One from the USB flash drive which comes with select retail versions and is also available as an additional accessory purchase from http://shop.presonus.com, your activation will happen online using the Product Key after launching the product for the first time.
If you purchased Studio One by any of these three first methods, see Register and Download Studio One for further details on registration and downloading your new software.
PreSonus Audio Interface or Audio Mixer Purchase If you bought an AudioBox, FireStudio or StudioLive Ai Mixer product, these all come with a bundle version of Studio One Artist. Registering the hardware in your My.Presonus account automatically gives you access to Studio One and a corresponding Product Key. When you launch Studio One for the first time, you can authorize the software using the provided Product Key.
If you came about acquiring Studio One by purchasing a PreSonus hardware product and wish to claim your Studio One Artist license, see Register and Download Studio One Bundled with PreSonus Hardware for more information.
Creating a My.Presonus Account
You must have a PreSonus account to install and activate Studio One for use on your system. If you bought Studio One from our website, you already have a My.PreSonus user account. If you do not yet have a My.PreSonus user account, you'll want to create one.
Beyond being a requirement to download and activate the latest version of Studio One 3, there are many benefits to creating a My.PreSonus account including easy access to additional documentation and other content files, access to the user forums, latest tips and product videos, and the ability to easily create a technical support ticket.
To create a user account, go to: http://my.presonus.com. On that web page, click [Create My PreSonus Account], then fill out the provided form and then click [Create My PreSonus Account] again to create your new account.
If your computer is not connected to the internet, you can still download and activate Studio One by using a different computer that does have internet access, as described in the Offline Activation section below.
Once you create your account, a verification email from PreSonus is automatically sent to the email address you provided. Click on the link in the email to activate your account. You are now ready to download and install Studio One.

To install the Sound Sets and demo/tutorial material, launch Studio One and open the Studio One/Studio One Installation menu item.
In the Install From selector, you can choose to download all selected content from your PreSonus Account, or navigate to downloaded content in your file system (or a provided USB stick). If you wish to install any further content at a later time, you can always return to Studio One/Studio One Installation window to do so.
By default, all packages included with your version of Studio One are selected for installation. You can set the Install To location to any desired location on your computer, then click on [Install].
As your files download, a Transfers window is shown, giving information on the status of each file queued for download. If you hide the Transfers window and later wish to see it again, navigate to View/Additional Views/Transfers, or just click the animated arrow button in the toolbar, which looks like this:
After installation, you can find all of the installed content in the Browser, which is on the Song page. Demos and tutorials can be accessed from the Start page. Instrument presets are listed under the related instrument in the Instruments tab of the Browser, as well as the preset browser in the plug-in window.

To install the content to the default user location, simply double-click or drag the content onto the Studio One window.
If you wish to store the content in another location, place it there, and add that location to Studio One/Options/Locations (Mac OS X: Preferences/Locations). There, you can add new locations for Sound Sets, Instruments, and 3rd-party plug-ins. Once you tell Studio One where your new content is located, it becomes available for use in Studio One.
