Unlike certain other programs, Fender Studio Pro is not updated via a “patch”; the new version simply replaces the previous version, resulting in an update. This will not affect your settings, songs, or files in any way.
We recommend updating Fender Studio Pro regularly as new versions come out, as this will improve the performance of the software, as well as adding new features.
