If you've been exploring LANDR's powerful music production tools under a trial license and are ready to make the leap to a full subscription, you're in the right place. Whether you're unlocking full mastering features, accessing unlimited samples, or diving deep into LANDR Studio, updating your license is a critical step to elevate your creative workflow.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to update from your LANDR trial license to your new license, covering every technical and practical detail to ensure a smooth transition. We’ll also include real user tips, answers to common questions, and insights into what changes once you upgrade.
Why Upgrade from a Trial to a Full LANDR License?
LANDR offers a generous trial period that gives users access to limited versions of their tools—like the AI Mastering engine, LANDR Samples, and even LANDR Studio's music collaboration features. However, some of the core functionalities—like high-resolution file exports, unlimited mastering, premium sample packs, and VST plugin integration—are gated behind a paid license.
Upgrading removes those limitations and unlocks the full power of LANDR’s ecosystem, including:
Full access to LANDR Mastering in WAV and HD formats
Unlimited downloads from LANDR Samples
Enhanced usage of LANDR Plugins (Chromatic, FX Suite, etc.)
Collaborator access and storage features in LANDR Studio
Access to exclusive content packs and real-time mastering previews
Step-by-Step: How Do I Update from My Trial License to My New License?
Upgrading your license is straightforward, but some users miss a few key steps. Here’s how to do it the right way.
1. Log Into Your LANDR Account
Head over to https://app.landr.com and log in using the email you registered during the trial period.
Tip: Your trial license is linked to this account, so make sure you use the same credentials when purchasing the full license.
2. Go to Your Subscription Settings
Click on your profile icon at the top-right corner
Select “Account Settings”
Navigate to the “Subscriptions” tab
Here, you’ll see the current plan you're on—usually labeled as “Trial” or “Free Tier.”
3. Choose Your New License Plan
LANDR offers several plans depending on your needs:
LANDR Mastering Plans (Basic, Advanced, Pro)
LANDR Studio (combining mastering, samples, plugins, and more)
Samples-Only Plan for heavy sound design users
Click “Upgrade Plan” and pick the one that best matches your workflow.
4. Confirm Payment & Licensing
You’ll be prompted to enter your payment details. After confirmation:
Your trial license is automatically replaced
The new license activates immediately
You’ll receive a receipt + license confirmation email
What Happens to Your Work After the Upgrade?
One of the best things about LANDR is that your projects and saved sessions carry over seamlessly.
All previously mastered tracks remain in your library
You can re-master them in high quality using the new license
Sample packs you've downloaded remain accessible
Studio projects created during the trial are fully editable
No data is lost during the license transition.
Common Problems When Updating from Trial to Full License
“My license still shows as Trial”
This usually happens due to browser caching. Try:
Logging out and back in
Clearing browser cache
Using incognito mode
If the issue persists, contact LANDR Support directly.
“I upgraded, but can’t access WAV downloads”
Make sure you’ve selected a Mastering Plan that includes HD/WAV output. The basic Sample plan, for instance, doesn’t include this feature.
“Where is my license key?”
LANDR licenses are account-based. You don’t need a serial key. Just log in, and your features are unlocked based on your subscription.
Real Use Case: What You Gain After Upgrading
Let’s say you’re a hip-hop producer using LANDR Chromatic and LANDR Samples on the trial plan. After upgrading to the LANDR Studio monthly plan:
You gain unlimited Chromatic plugin usage
You can export full-length masters in WAV
You unlock over 2 million royalty-free samples
You access 50GB+ of collaborative cloud storage
The shift is night and day—especially if you're working with clients or uploading to DSPs like Spotify or Apple Music.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will I lose my data after the license upgrade?
A: No. Your mastering sessions, samples, and project files are tied to your account and will remain intact.
Q: Can I upgrade my license before the trial ends?
A: Yes! You can upgrade at any time during the trial, and your access will instantly update.
Q: Is there a discount for annual licenses?
A: LANDR often provides up to 30% off for annual plans. Keep an eye on their pricing page.
Q: Can I downgrade after upgrading?
A: Yes, but only after the current billing cycle ends. Downgrading will limit access to certain features.
