You got your username/password/FL Reg key from when you purchased, right?
Login to the FL website and the options should be there

any projects you started in 7 (0r 6,5,4,3,2 or 1 fir that matter) should work in 8!

Anyone else had issues with Vst's at all? My copy of Massive works great in 8, crashes 7...
FL 8 wont recognize ANY of my camel plugins, tried reinstalling, dling new setup files, the works...Fuckin things are essential since Atreus turned me onto them!

I had exactly the same problem with massive. It works a treat since I got FL8 running.
Sorry for the simpleton question but you did change the default VST search directory when you installed FL8?

pretty much the same with me.
i don't use fl8 for anything though, got bout 5 unfinished tunes in there from when i first got it. it doesn't pick up 90% of my vsts and vstis. if it doesn't let you use the MS20, what's the point in having it?!
and yeah i changed the vst search directory, tried everything, re-installing vsts straight into the fl vst folder, etc. fl8 refuses to see 90% of my vsts.
fuck it though, all i can see thats new is they changed the audio clip window round, and added new FL plugins (which i don't use)

And you can't even flip the sequencer round like if FL7, that jars me so much

Thats a pretty handy tool so many times this has become a problem when i wanted to do colabs. I think i might have to upgrade soon still on fruity 5.
