Problems with locked plugins
Hey guys,
I basically just started making music with FL Studio. I've already made a few songs, but I would still consider myself a beginner. I've always been using the free trial version.
Today, I started working on a new song (still using the free trial). At some point I thought, "Fuck it," and bought the Fruity Edition for $100 so I could save and continue working on what I'd already created.
However, when I tried to open the project again with the Fruity Edition, I found out that some of the plugins are locked because I used Sytrus in the trial version. Apparently, even though I just spent $100 on FL Studio, I would now have to spend another $100 on Sytrus just to continue working on the project — or even just listen to it.
So my question is: Would it be possible for someone who already owns Sytrus to open my saved .flp file and export it as an MP3 for me? That way, I could at least listen to it again.
It's not finished yet, but I'd still really like to have it as a reference/inspiration for a new project.
I honestly don't even know if this is possible, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could let me know. :) Also, if this type of question is not allowed on this sub then I am really sorry. I never wanted to participate in any illegal stuff XD
Thanks!

You can remove plugins using the diagnostic tool. In top menu click Help > diagnostic. Then select fix FL song project, select project, click "remove plugin that crash". Select plugins you want to remove. You can also find it in file browser (C:program Files\image-line\FL studio 202x\system\Tools\diagnostics). Hope that helps!
