Home users—Downloading, Installation, Updates, and Uninstallation
Home users (end users) with a Zoner Studio subscription license install the program using the EXE installer.
Downloading the Installer
If you have an active license, you can download a pre-activated EXE installer at any time. To do this, visit your Zoner Account and click Download Installation. Shift-clicking on Download Installation gives you the standard EXE installer, i.e. without pre‑activation.
With pre‑login, you do not need to log in during your first run of the program after installation; the login details are entered automatically. It is valid for 10 minutes.
The installer can also be downloaded from our website. You’ll receive a download link for your pre‑activated installer at the email address of your Zoner Account.
If you do not receive an email, you should first check the spam folder (where unwanted emails are sent) and trash folder of your email inbox.
Program Installation
After you launch the downloaded installer, a wizard guides you through the installation steps. You must be connected to the internet. After you choose the installation language and accept the license agreement, the latest version in your selected language is downloaded.
When Zoner Studio is installed using an EXE installer, it is placed in C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Zoner.
If you are already using the trial version, you do not need to reinstall. Zoner Studio automatically checks for an active license on your Zoner Account during every startup.
Program Updates
Minor maintenance updates are installed automatically. You must confirm installation, however, for the major spring and fall updates.
To quickly check whether you have the latest version, click the question‑mark icon in the top bar and then use Check for Update.
Resolving Installation Errors
Every now and then, an installation can fail and end with an error. To view instructions for resolving any error you happen to encounter, click on Show Online Help within the error message that appears.
Solutions to installation errors can be found in Unfinished Installation? Find the Solution Here!
Changing the Program Language
To change the program language, run the installer and then use Change Program Language. The available languages are Czech, Slovak, English, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
Repair Installation
You can use a Repair Installation to fix unexpected behavior by the program. To launch such an installation, run the installer and click the Repair Installation option.
Uninstallation
To uninstall the program, launch the installer and use Uninstall, or make use of the usual method via Add or Remove Programs in Windows.
In the last step before confirming uninstallation, you can choose to keep the Catalog, the preview cache, and the program settings. This lets you then transfer these into a new install.
