These are all Fat Channel XT plugins. If you're entitled to them, you can search for them individually in MyFender. On the search result page, you'll see the download link. Alternatively, you should be able to download them from within the PreSonus (Fender?) Hub.

That's just it. I am not entitled to them - but they all still decide it's a good idea to throw an error anyway. Not sure I am understanding the logic.
It is not like I am trying to install something I am not licensed for. What I should see under that Studio One/Studio Pro->Installation menu (and dialog) after logging in - is a listing of ONLY those products I am entitled to. But this is not the case for these oddball FX.

PreSonus/Fender Hub is only for using these plug-ins in other DAWs.

I've been through all of my old emails and there is no mention of my having purchased them. Having said that, I do have an old email from October 2020 which sat "Thank you for registering Studio One Prime!". Could this have been when the mysterious plugins were installed?
In any case I am certain that I do not need any of the 11 plugins. Where in either Studio One 7 or Fender Studio Pro 8 can I see where these names are referenced so that I can delete them once and for all.
@lucas I don't mean to single you out for an answer but since you seem to be a well established Presonus user...

Thank you for your very informative postA few thoughts . . .
I am a new user to what was Studio one when I joined 2 weeks back, totally unaware of them about to change everything.
I have been a Notion 5 user since about 2010 before they became part of Presonus. So, when I baught the Studio One 7+ license getting Notion was a big consideration as it enabled me to read and open projects that was written in Notion. At that time my understanding was that the only way I could get my hands on the Notion software to open those old files was through the subscription, and the assumption was that after after a year I will once again loose that license as the “keep forever” part of the license only applied to the Studio One software, now Fender Studio. Having read through most of the whole thread I think I understood more or less what happens to my Stdio one subscription, i.e. nothing change except I do get all the shiny things that comes with Fender Studio, but nothing about Notion, until page 13 when your post clarified a few things.
If you do not mind, may I ask some more questions please.
Do I understand your post about Notion correctly that all the features in Notion regarding score writing is now integrated with Fender Studio? If so, I should not really need to use Notion for writing new scores and rather do it all in Studio?
Printing would understandingly still be a challenge ?
Can Studio one open legacy Notion files? If not, I assume I should still go through the tedious task of opening all legacy projects in Notion, then transfer them to Studio and save the song files for backup.
This process have proven more than tedious, as it seems like not everything transferred with the file -> transfer to Studio One transferred correctly over, especially any lyrics, chord symbols, text or expression markings.
Although Notion sounds are not as good as Vienna or other pricey software, it surely was good enough for the writing process. Writing score in Studio One however does not have the sounds library of Notion built in and requires a 3rd party Vst instrument library. Is this assumption correct or can I somehow use Notion sounds library in Studio?

Lukas - if you can find out why these are connected to mine as well - I would appreciate it.I'm a PreSonus user, too, correct
But it's possible that this has to be figured out on the backend side. We have to collect feedback and see why these plug-ins are connected to your account.

I found a way of stopping Fender Studio Pro 8 bothering me with these bogus alerts. On macOS, in the folder `/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/PreSonus/Extensions/presonus.fatchannelplugins.mac` there is a file called `products.json`. First make a backup, then use a text editor to delete the sections that correspond to the unwanted items. On mine, this involved changing...I'm a PreSonus user, too, correct

I am not ready to install 8 for a while yet but will flag this post just the same.

I was able to track down the JSON file by using an invaluable tool called `Find any File` - https://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/. It offer brute force searching of files by name and by content. By searching for "Everest CA100A" in file contents, it found the file within a minute!

Won't help me for Windows but I have several different options in my toolkit.
As I remain solid on v7.2.3 - don't have a need to edit this file right now - but I will later in 2026 when I finally move to Studio Pro 8.

On the Fender Pro Studio page, it says that three CTC console styles are part of the 45 plugins included:
CTC-1 Classic
CTC-1 Custom
CTC-1 Tube
But when I try to activate CTC via the Studio Pro>Studio Pro Installation menu inside the program, it tells me that CTC-1 can't be activated.
Does this list of 45 plugins only refer to the subsctiption model, or is it the permanent license? Both?
I purchased a permanent license three weeks ago after using the subscription. So, I know that I have items installed that can only be used with the sub. I'm slowly weeding them out. The "45 included plugins" ad is throwing me off though. The comparison chart for the different versions of the program don't show which specific plugs come with which version.

Notion is not included in Studio One/Studio Pro in its entirety. The DAW has a subset of Notion's features in its notation skill, but files can be exchanged in either direction between Notion and S1/FSP.
Fender Studio is not the same as Fender Studio Pro. However, I believe that Studio (essentially the mobile app) can talk to Notion Mobile. What level of detail it can represent or write, I have no idea.
Edit: it would appear that the erstwhile Notion 6 (now Fender Notion) is now included with Fender Studio Pro (rather than the Plus subscription), though with only a small set of virtual instruments.

On a lighter note - How are folks getting on with the changes to single click/double click to open plugins in 'Studio Pro' ?
It is taking me a bit to get used to and have had to collapse ALOT of inserts...but I am into it! Think I will stick with it (I understand we can revert back if so desired).

That's a good way to put it! Feeling the same way. I just came across Joe's video and heard that -- which prompted my post.
