What they used to call “Fruity Loops” they now call FL Studio. I couldn’t tell you the last time I used it. I can’t even remember if I actually did any work in it or I just played. I do know, it was Windows-only but they later came out with a Mac version.

Anyway, I bought the boxed version of FL Studio Producer v8.x (Box) in November of 2009. I was able to sign up for LIFETIME UPDATES for a one-time fee of $39. Where they say “While our competitors typically charge between $150-250 for an update. With FL Studio you will always get the latest version free because we believe you should have the program you paid for, bug-fixed and updated for as long as we develop FL Studio.” Yet I have a company that charges me yearly for a perpetual license whether they upgrade, bug-fix, or not.

So while I may not download and install the latest FL Studio, one day, I may just play.
