Hey everyone,

I recently purchased FL Studio, but I'm completely blocked from logging into my account or downloading the installer. I keep getting the "This site can’t be reached - ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID" error on the Image-Line website.

I have already gone through extensive troubleshooting, both within the browser and at the system level, but nothing has worked. Here is the full list of what I’ve tried:

  • Basic Connectivity: Restarted the router and verified the internet connection is stable.
  • Browser-Side: Cleared cache/cookies and tried multiple different browsers and devices.
  • Time & Date Sync: Performed a manual sync of Windows Time with time.windows.com to ensure the system clock is perfectly accurate.
  • Security: Temporarily disabled all VPNs, proxies, firewalls, and antivirus software.
  • CMD / Deep System Fixes: Ran the following commands as Administrator:
    • ipconfig /flushdns
    • ipconfig /registerdns
    • ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew
    • netsh winsock reset (to repair the network catalog)
  • DNS Changes: Switched to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) at the network adapter level.

Does anyone know if there's a deeper registry issue or a specific ISP block that could cause this? I'm out of ideas.

thanks!
