Fender Unlimited Site Licences
Getting the right software for your music department can be daunting but we are pleased to be able to offer an easy and manageable solution for your school or college network. An Unlimited Site License is now available for Fender Studio Pro our digital audio workstation (DAW) for electronic music, production and recording. Studio Pro is cross platform and can be installed on Windows and Mac. Also available are its associated free standalone apps: Fender Notion and Fender Studio
Wait, unlimited?
Yup, the license is unlimited, meaning you don’t need to worry about exactly how many seats you’ll need or what happens when you add more computers – whether your site has 25 computers or 250. If fact you now don’t need to limit the software to the music department – get it installed on every computer in the school and compose and produce everywhere! Just tell us how many computers you think you will install on initially, and we will create a bespoke license for you.
Why Fender Studio Pro?
- Teach the music, not the software. Fender Studio Pro is focused on your creative workflow and getting results fast – you’ll no longer have to spend half your lesson showing how to insert a virtual instrument, or how to add a crescendo!
- It's cross platform, meaning it can be run on Windows and Mac.
- There is also a deep integration between Studio Pro and Fender and PreSonus hardware products, such as mixers, controllers and audio interfaces
- There is a tight interop between Fender Studio Pro and its associated apps - send projects from the Fender Studio app to Fender Studio Pro, or score data from Fender Studio Pro to Fender Notion - anywhere they are both present on your network.
- No subscription, no dongles, no hassle.
But don’t just take our word for it!
From Sound on Sound Magazine:
“as user friendly as it gets…having this kind of flexibility is remarkably liberating”From Music Tech Magazine:
“a fantastically simple DAW’”
Purchasing
The software is purchased outright so there are no complicated subscriptions to manage, and the actual licensing is all done within the software itself meaning no dongles are required. Although our unlimited licenses are the most popular, if you have a smaller network, between 10 and 25 computers, we can charge per seat instead.

What do you need to do now?

FAQ’s
Is it really unlimited?
Yes, whether you’ve got 20 or 2000 computers on the same single site, it’s one fixed price. We do have a fair use policy, in that we will ask you for an estimate of the number of computers you’d like to install on at your site, and this is subject to our approval. This is to help you manage your activations better (and so that we haven’t put an infinite Fender Studio Pro license out into the world!). We’ll give you some headroom within this amount, but if you need more, just make a tech support ticket to let us know, and we’ll increase it.
What is a site?
A site is defined as a group of buildings on one physical site. If your school has two or more campuses, or you are a group of schools administrated by a single trust, you will need an unlimited license per individual site. If you are a central instrumental music teaching service, with travelling (peripatetic) teachers, you can also qualify for a site license, just let us know.
Who can buy site licenses, and how many machines do I need to have?
Site licenses are for purchase by, and deployment to, education institutions only. Such institutions include schools, colleges, universities, instrumental teaching services. When you make an order, you will be asked to provide the following information:
- The school name and address to attach the license to
- A contact name and email address within IT department
- A contact name and email address within the Music Department
- Number of seats required, even if it is an unlimited license
Each site license purchase is manually verified against the information you provide at point of purchase, and subject to approval.
Site licenses must be for a minimum of 10 seats (a seat is one physical machine/terminal). For site licenses between 10-20, you can buy a “per seat” license. For site licenses of around 20 seats and above, an ‘unlimited’ license is much better value
I want to buy multiple licenses for a region of schools, is this possible?
Yes, we can provide a bespoke solution and price for all schools in a region, district, county, municipality, parish or city. Get in touch with your local Fender dealer and they will discuss your requirements with us.
How do I get the software?
Once you’ve received your product key, you can activate it at my.fender.com. Your installers and all your content will be available from your account to download. No physical media will be provided.
Note that 3rd party content that may be available with standard perpetual licences may not be available for site licencing.
Do I need to pay every month to get updates?
No. The perpetual licence includes updates for 12 months after first activation.
Are single copies available?
Yes, with an EDU discount for eligible customers
Do I need licensing dongles?
No!
Are there any resources?
Yes, loads of helpful videos on our YouTube channel
I’ve only got 12 computers, do I need to pay for an unlimited license?
No, you can pay ‘per seat’ for smaller license requirements.
Is this Mac or PC?
Fender Studio Pro is cross platform, on Mac and Windows. It also has associated free mobile apps too: Fender Notion and Fender Studio are standalone application available on iOS, macOS, Android, Windows and Linux; Fender Studio Pro has a Remote accessory app on Android, Windows and iOS.
Can I install this on pupil owned machines?
Site licenses are not for deployment to pupil/staff owned machines, or for pupil/staff use at home. We recommend instead Fender Studio Pro Academic discount pricing for single users, or the free Fender Studio and Fender Notion apps that can be installed on mobile or desktop devices.
What help do I get installing on a network?
You will receive your Product Key within a welcome document that will outline some best practices in installation, including helpful tips (including for example, how to copy preferences such as setting language or MIDI keyboard across machines). If you need further help we have dedicated Tech Support to help you in the process. The fastest and most direct way of getting to our Tech Support gurus, is by making a tech support via your my.fender.com account.
Can I buy a site license direct from Fender?
No, we support our expert EDU dealer network – contact your local dealer for more information.
I hit my activations limit, but I’ve got 5 more machines to install this term. How do I do this?
If you’ve got an Unlimited License, then just make a Tech Support ticket via your my.fender.com account. This is the quickest, fastest, and most trackable way of getting your request to the right person. We’ll then review and increase your activations – there is no cost for this.
If you’ve got a per seat license then you’ll just need to order more seats. Let your dealer know this is an addition to an existing license, so we can make sure we adjust your existing license, rather than treat it like a new order.
License or licence?!
Yup, sorry world – we went with the US spelling…
