Try it, then make it yours

Every download starts as the demo: every feature works, but projects cannot be saved and nothing can be exported. Buy a licence, enter your key under Licence… in Foundry, and saving and exporting turn on. Your licence works on each of your computers, Windows and Linux alike.

The user manual covers installing, every feature and troubleshooting. It is also in Foundry under ? → User manual (F1).

Checking your download

Each file's SHA-256 checksum is on its card (click to copy) and in SHA256SUMS. On Windows: Get-FileHash Foundry-Setup-1.0.7.exe. On Linux: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing.

Updating

Foundry checks this page for a new version when it starts (you can turn that off under ? in Foundry) and shows it in the status bar. Install the new version over the old one the same way you installed it. Projects, settings, presets and your licence are kept. For the portable version, copy the new files over the old folder and keep its data folder.
