Am I screwed? Is this thing basically useless without it? I read somewhere that you need to register the serial number to get access to the VST and I wish to use it in FL studio
You can talk to support and see if they can help, which you can do here - https://bit.ly/n1acc. They'll ask for your Maschine serial number and a copy of your receipt and hopefully get you going.
You also have the option of just buying the software…
Yea, but always better to try support first as you might get a freebie :)
All such issues are handled exclusively by N.I. Account Support
Contact N.I. Account Support with proof of purchase and a picture of the serial on bottom of device and explain the situation

Which I did! If I listened to that other guy I would have had to fork over a bunch of more money! Thanks!
