Some simple questions about my.fender.com/products:

1. Some items have red dots above them. What do they mean?
2. If I hover over the blue "+" sign that sits in the lower right corners of some, it says, "Included with Fender Studio Pro+." If I download one of these and use it, what happens to it after my subscription runs out? Will it no longer operate in existing songs, sessions, projects, shows, etc.?
3. Is there a way to download and install all of these at once?

Thanks for the really great forum. - Stuart

1. I'm pretty sure that means you haven't looked at that product yet.
2. Yes, exactly - if you haven't rendered to audio, then you'd need to continue the subscription until you've done that, or you'll lose access to those plugins.
3. Not as far as I'm aware.

If you do the downloads/installs from within FSP, you can do more that one at a time.

Thanks for the info T & B. It looks like I have some deleting to do. I'm not into SaaS. And I don't like surprises.

Have you picked up a sub as a benefit of a hardware purchase? Some of the items that are actually part of the perpetual licence package may be marked as ‘Included with Studio Pro +’. At least, that was the case with v7. I think somewhere on the site is a list of what’s included in the perpetual licence.

That was my suspicion. Right now, I'm only working with S1 7.2.3. I haven't downloaded FP8, and I may never, even though my subscription is paid up until 10/10/26. Yes, I may have some hardware perks installed.

That would be very helpful, but I am about to give up with the whole Fender-Presonus thing. I want to make music - not mess with software or, even worse, with subscriptions. I'm an amateur, so my music is a work-in-progress whenever I say it is. I have no boss, no deadline, and no deliverables. I do it solely for my own pleasure (as may be the case with many users), and I want to be able to use the very same plugins whenever I feel the urge.

I want a simple way to install only the items that come with my perpetual license. And I want a way to easily and immediately determine if a plugin is going to become unusable when some subscription expires.

If Fender's aim is to introduce more guitarists to Studio Pro, then I would advise them to make this process less confusing.

So Fender, please PAY ATTENTION!!!
