Last updated 7 October 2026: section 1, Adam Drummer; section 7, refunds
The short version. You buy a licence to use Adam Studio on one computer at a time, for as long as you like, and you can move it between your machines whenever you want. The music you make with it is entirely yours, with no strings and no royalties. Do not share your licence key, though if you stop using Adam Studio, you may pass the whole licence on to someone else.
A perpetual, non-exclusive licence to install and use Adam Studio for your own work, personal or commercial. One licence covers one computer at a time, Mac or Windows, that you own or control; you may move it to a different computer whenever you like, by deactivating inside the app or from your account page. It is a licence to use the software, not a sale of the software itself; Guy Hashpia keeps ownership of the app and its source.
This agreement covers Adam Drummer in the same way: for an Adam Drummer licence, read Adam Drummer wherever it says Adam Studio.
Anything you make with Adam Studio belongs to you completely. We claim no rights over it, ask for no credit, and take no royalties. Release it, sell it, licence it to a film. None of that involves us. This applies equally to audio you bounce out of the app and to parts the AI features helped arrange.
Your samples remain subject to whatever terms you got them under. Adam Studio plays the files you already have; it does not grant you rights to them. You are responsible for having the right to use the sounds you load and to release what you make from them. If using someone else’s sounds brings a claim, that claim is yours to answer, not ours.
Your key carries your name and email address, and the app displays them. Treat it like a password: do not post it publicly or pass it to anyone else. A key found in circulation may be cancelled, which stops it working in future versions of the app. If you believe your key has been taken, tell us and we will replace it.
The licence itself is yours to pass on. If you stop using Adam Studio, you may sell or give your licence to someone else, once and whole: write to us, we cancel your key and issue one in the new owner’s name, your copies come off your machines, and from that day the licence is theirs. What is never permitted is sharing: one key serving two people, a key posted publicly, renting or sub-licensing the app, or keeping a copy after passing the licence on. Nor is reverse-engineering the app, except where the law says you may do so regardless of this agreement.
Your licence runs on one computer at a time, and moving it is yours to do at any moment: choose Deactivate This Mac (or Deactivate This PC) inside the app, or free that machine from your account page, then enter your key on the new one. Reinstalling on the same computer costs nothing and you may do it as often as you like.
Registering a computer needs an internet connection. From then on it holds a four-day pass, and Adam Studio renews it quietly whenever it is online, so a computer in normal use never sees a message about it. A computer kept offline plays until its pass runs out, four days from the last time it was online, then warns you for half an hour, then returns to the demo until it can reach us again. Nothing you made is lost when that happens. If your computer is lost or stolen, write to us: we cancel that licence, the copy on the lost machine stops within four days, and you get a new key for your new computer at no charge.
Updates within the version you bought are included. If a future major version is offered as a paid upgrade, that will be stated plainly before you pay for it.
We do not remotely switch off a licence you have paid for. The only keys we cancel are ones that have been refunded or charged back, or that have been shared or published: clauses 3 and 7. What we cannot promise is that a given version will keep working forever: Apple changes macOS, hardware moves on, and what you buy today was built and tested against the systems of today. That is what updates are for, and it is why this is a licence to use the app rather than a guarantee about the future.
Adam Studio is downloaded by licence holders, so normally it meets your key on the first launch. If it is ever run without one, say a fresh install before you have pasted the key in, or a machine where you have not entered it yet, it runs for ten minutes per launch and then asks you to activate. Nothing is held back in that time and you can always save your project. This is not a free demo and it is not offered as one; deliberately working around the limit rather than activating is not permitted.
There is no free trial, because the download is for licence holders, and the licence is not one. Before you have downloaded, installed or activated it, you may have a full refund on request, at any time. After that, a full refund within 14 days of purchase if a feature or functionality explicitly described on the Adam Studio website does not function substantially as described in the software. There are no other refunds, and a change of mind is not covered.
Refunds are not provided solely because AI-generated MIDI, samples, arrangements, or other creative outputs do not meet the customer’s subjective expectations, preferences, reference tracks, or desired style. AI-generated results are inherently variable, and Adam Studio does not guarantee any specific musical, creative, stylistic, or qualitative outcome. The terms say it in full, including how a request is checked.
Adam Studio is provided "as is". We have tested it and we stand behind it, but we cannot promise it is free of faults or that it will suit every setup, and it comes with no warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to what you paid for the licence, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses such as lost profits, lost bookings or lost data. Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot be removed by agreement.
Back up your work. Any software can lose data, and this one records and plays audio in real time on hardware we have never seen.
Adam Studio includes software from other authors, under their own licences. Every notice they require is reproduced in the app: open Settings ▸ ABOUT.
If this agreement is broken, most realistically by a key being shared, the licence may be ended, and the key cancelled. You may stop using the app at any time.
