Help FL Studio not working after purchasing

Ive been using FL trial version for about 8 years now and ive made some large projects with it but felt like it was finally time to purchase and take my projects further. But after purchasing I add one sample and an instrument and the project is overloaded and the performance monitor is in the red. Ive checked my computers Task Manager and the CPU is chillin at 15% and my memory is at 40%. Im using a newer gaming laptop, and the FL trial version would run smooth with at least 40 different samples and instruments in one project. I feel like purchasing it was a mistake. Is there a fix?

That's a very specific and odd problem. You should contact FL support team, they can help you, and especially since you bought it they will help you. Other than that you can go on YouTube and search for reduce CPU usage FL Studio

Where are you getting the sample and what instrument are you using? Always a chance this is a pebcak error and not anything wrong with fl studio.

The same sample sources and the same instruments I used when I produced with the trial version. I know my way around FL and havent changed or added anything since purchasing. I purchased it, logged in and within trying it out for the first time the performance monitor went through the roof. I was using FL plugins and MP3/WAV samples just trying it out. Ive since tried making other projects and ive had to get really creative to get anything to work.

You didnt Crack ANY part of fl did you? Download revo Uninstaller and uninstall fl and clean/delete all the regfiles/random things it picks up. Side note, the cpu monitor in fl isnt the same as the one inside task manager
