Frequently asked questions
Cancel Studio One: The Right Way
How to cancel Studio One in new zealand and protect your rights
What Studio One is and why you might want to cancel
Studio One is a professional digital audio workstation (DAW) used by musicians, producers, and audio engineers for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering music. The software reaches New Zealand customers through perpetual licences (one-time purchase) or subscription models, depending on your retailer.
You might cancel your subscription if you have upgraded to a newer version, switched to a competing DAW that suits your workflow better, or need to reduce software expenses. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step, ensuring you understand your legal position under New Zealand consumer law.
How Studio One is distributed in new zealand
Studio One reaches New Zealand customers through multiple channels: direct purchases from licensed resellers like AV Store NZ, subscriptions via the Apple App Store or Google Play, and international online platforms. This fragmented distribution means your cancellation route depends entirely on where you originally bought the software.
The absence of a single, publicly verifiable cancellation policy across all platforms creates confusion for many users. Identifying your purchase location is therefore your first and most critical step.
Perpetual licences versus subscriptions
Perpetual licences grant you permanent ownership of a specific version and do not require cancellation. You simply stop using the software. Subscription plans, by contrast, automatically renew unless you actively cancel them before the renewal date. Understanding which model you hold determines whether cancellation is necessary and what steps you must take.
Current Studio One pricing in new zealand
Below are verified prices for Studio One versions available through New Zealand resellers, including GST where applicable.
| Plan or version | Price (NZD, inc GST) | Purchase type | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio One 7 Professional (Perpetual) | NZ$649.00 | One-time purchase | Full professional features, permanent ownership |
| Studio One 7 Artist (Educational) | NZ$80.00 per seat | One-time purchase | Students and educational institutions |
| Studio One 7 Pro+ Annual | NZ$295.00 (approx. USD $179.99) | Annual subscription | Yearly access with updates and cloud features |
| Studio One 7 Pro+ Monthly | NZ$33.00 (approx. USD $19.99) | Month-to-month subscription | Maximum flexibility without long-term commitment |
| Studio One 4 Professional (Legacy) | NZ$499.00 | One-time purchase | Budget option, previous generation version |
Perpetual licences offer better long-term value if you plan to use the software indefinitely. Subscriptions suit users who want the latest features and cloud collaboration without ownership obligations. Always verify current NZD pricing with local resellers before committing to purchase or renewal.
Reasons to cancel or keep Studio One
Why you should keep your subscription or licence
Studio One is a mature, industry-standard DAW with strong integration features, proven stability, and reliable customer support. If your professional work depends on it, you have active projects in progress, or you enjoy its workflow, keeping your subscription or licence is the right choice. Perpetual licences never expire and do not require cancellation.
When cancellation makes sense
Cancel your subscription if you have switched to another DAW, no longer produce music professionally, face unexpected renewal charges you cannot afford, or want to consolidate your software stack. Cancelling stops future billing and frees up budget for other tools or services. If you hold a perpetual licence, no cancellation is necessary; you may simply discontinue use at any time.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 provides you with statutory protections when you purchase software or subscriptions, regardless of where you buy them.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, you have the right to cancel a subscription within a reasonable timeframe if the service does not match the description provided at the time of purchase. Furthermore, if you have been charged without your express consent, or if billing information was obtained fraudulently, you may dispute the charge through your payment provider or the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's principal consumer protection authority.
The Consumer Guarantees Act also requires that businesses provide clear information about cancellation terms and conditions before you purchase. If Studio One or its reseller has failed to disclose cancellation procedures, that breach strengthens your position should you pursue a refund or chargeback.
Cancellation rights under distance selling regulations
If you purchased Studio One online or via a platform you did not visit in person, you may have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Guarantees Act, provided the software has not yet been downloaded or activated. Once you have accessed the product, this right is waived in most jurisdictions, but New Zealand's approach is consumer-friendly: contact the retailer to confirm your right to a refund before the cooling-off period expires.
How to cancel Studio One on each platform
Cancellation procedures differ depending on where you purchased your subscription. Follow the route that matches your purchase method.
Cancelling a Studio One subscription purchased directly from PreSonus
- Visit the PreSonus account management portal at your registered email address.
- Navigate to "My Account" or "Subscriptions".
- Locate your Studio One subscription in the list of active products.
- Select the subscription and choose "Cancel Subscription".
- Read any cancellation terms or refund eligibility statements carefully.
- Confirm cancellation when prompted.
- Retain your cancellation confirmation email for your records.
- This email serves as proof of cancellation and protects you from unwanted future charges.
- Verify that the subscription no longer appears in your active subscriptions within 24 to 48 hours.
- If it remains active, contact PreSonus support immediately with your cancellation confirmation.
Cancelling a Studio One subscription purchased via the apple app store

- Navigate to your account profile (top-right corner).
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Locate Studio One in your list of active subscriptions.
- Tap the Studio One subscription and select "Cancel Subscription".
- Apple will display your renewal date and the final billing date.
- Confirm cancellation by tapping again.
- Verify cancellation in your email (Apple sends a confirmation to your Apple ID email address).
- Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle.
- Cancellation takes effect on the next renewal date.
Cancelling a Studio One subscription purchased via google play
- Open Google Play on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon (top-right corner).
- Select "Manage your Google Account".
- Navigate to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab.
- Tap "Subscriptions".

- Tap "Cancel subscription".

- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play.
- Your subscription access ends at the conclusion of your current billing period.
Cancelling a Studio One subscription purchased from a new zealand reseller
- Identify the reseller from your original purchase confirmation email or invoice.
- Common resellers include AV Store NZ and other authorised music software retailers.
- Contact the reseller's customer support team via email or phone.
- Provide your order number, email address, and subscription details.
- Explicitly request cancellation and ask for confirmation in writing.
- Request a written cancellation confirmation.
- Do not accept verbal confirmation alone.
- Save all emails and correspondence.
- Monitor your bank or payment method for any further charges.
- If a charge appears after your requested cancellation date, dispute it immediately with your bank.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not happen instantly. Understanding the timeline protects you from confusion and unexpected charges.
Access and functionality after cancellation
Once you cancel your subscription, you retain full access to Studio One until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, the software will enter a limited mode or cease functioning, depending on the licence terms. You will not be charged again unless you manually renew.
Data and project files
Your project files, preferences, and audio data remain on your computer. You can continue to open and edit existing projects in Studio One after subscription expiry, provided you maintain a compatible version of the software or migrate your projects to a DAW you own outright. Export your work to standard audio formats (WAV, MP3, FLAC) before access ends if you want to ensure portability.
Refund eligibility
Refunds depend on when you cancel and which refund policy applies to your purchase method. Yafee recommends requesting a refund at the time of cancellation if you are within the cooling-off period or if you believe the service failed to deliver as described. Include a clear explanation of your reason for cancellation in your refund request.
Claiming a refund after cancellation
New Zealand consumer law gives you rights to a refund in specific circumstances.
When you can claim a refund
You have the strongest refund case if you cancel within 14 days of purchase (the cooling-off period under the Consumer Guarantees Act), before downloading or substantially using the software. You can also claim a refund if the software does not match the description provided at purchase, or if you were charged without your consent. If Studio One was sold as "fit for purpose" and it fails to perform that function, the Consumer Guarantees Act entitles you to remedies including a refund.
How to request a refund
- Send a formal refund request email to the retailer or PreSonus support.
- Include your order number, purchase date, and subscription period.
- State your reason for the refund request clearly (within cooling-off period, service failure, non-use, or disputed charge).
- Attach your cancellation confirmation and any evidence of defective service.
- Request a response within 10 working days.
- Under New Zealand law, businesses must respond promptly to consumer complaints.
- If the retailer refuses or ignores your request, escalate to the Commerce Commission.
- The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's principal consumer protection and competition authority.
- You can lodge a complaint at www.comcom.govt.nz.
- As a final recourse, dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation, refund request email, and evidence of non-delivery or misrepresentation.
- Your bank can reverse the charge if you demonstrate good faith effort to resolve the matter first.
Chargeback and payment provider protection
If Studio One continues to charge your card after you cancel, contact your bank immediately to initiate a chargeback or reversal. Provide your cancellation confirmation and any subsequent unwanted charges as evidence. Your payment provider has obligations under the Commerce Guarantees Act and Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 to investigate your dispute fairly.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
You are not alone if you have encountered friction during cancellation. Many users make preventable errors that delay the process or result in unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling the app without cancelling the subscription
Deleting Studio One from your device does not cancel your subscription. The renewal charge will still appear on your next billing date. You must cancel the subscription through your account settings or retailer, not by deleting the app.
Mistake 2: failing to retain proof of cancellation
Always save your cancellation confirmation email. Without written proof, you cannot dispute unwanted charges or lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. Retailers and platform providers may claim they have no record of your cancellation if you cannot produce evidence.
Mistake 3: not checking your renewal date
Subscriptions renew on specific dates that vary by retailer. If you cancel after the renewal has already processed, you will be charged for the next cycle. Cancel well before your renewal date to prevent this. Yafee recommends checking your renewal date immediately after purchase and setting a calendar reminder for two weeks prior.
Mistake 4: assuming auto-renewal is off when it is not
Some platforms default auto-renewal to "on" even if you selected a monthly plan. Confirm in your account settings that auto-renewal is disabled before closing your account. Check this setting after cancellation confirmation arrives, as some systems reset it if you log back in.
Mistake 5: not escalating disputes to the commerce commission
If a retailer refuses to acknowledge your cancellation or continues charging you after cancellation, do not simply accept it. The Commerce Commission exists to enforce consumer rights. Yafee advises lodging a formal complaint if direct communication fails, as retailers often respond more quickly to regulator involvement.
Comparison of cancellation methods and timelines
Different purchase routes involve different cancellation timelines and refund eligibility.
| Purchase method | Cancellation speed | Refund window | Refund likelihood |
|---|---|---|---|
| PreSonus direct subscription | Immediate (within 24 hours) | 14 days from purchase | High if within cooling-off period |
| Apple App Store | Immediate (within 24 hours) | 14 days from purchase | High (Apple is refund-friendly) |
| Google Play | Immediate (within 24 hours) | 7 to 15 days (varies) | Moderate to high |
| New Zealand reseller | 3 to 5 working days | 7 to 30 days (varies by reseller) | Moderate (reseller-dependent) |
| Perpetual licence (no cancellation needed) | N/A | 14 days from purchase | High (product ownership grants refund rights) |
After cancellation: your next steps
Once your subscription ends, you will want to transition smoothly to another tool or resolve any outstanding issues.
Exporting your project files
Before your subscription access expires, export all active projects to standard audio formats (WAV, FLAC, or MP3). This ensures your work remains accessible even if you cannot reinstall Studio One. Most DAWs can import WAV files without difficulty, so this is your safest migration route.
Confirming no further charges
Monitor your bank statement or payment method for 60 days after the cancellation date. If any charge appears after this period, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder to check your statements on day 30 and day 60 post-cancellation.
Choosing an alternative DAW
If you cancelled because Studio One no longer suits your needs, consider Reaper, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or Cubase as alternatives. Each offers different strengths and pricing models. Trial versions are available for most, so you can assess workflow compatibility before committing.
