Here you can download Firka software free of charge, which is available for Windows (XP+), Apple (OSX 10.5+) and Linux (x86, x86-64). You can use this free version even for business film making. This version of the software is not able to handle the previously purchased UIC codes. You can find more details here. Before downloading, please read License first. YOU MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE IF YOU ARE USING THE SOFTWARE.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PURCHASED UIC VERSION, PLEASE DO NOT HURRY TO UPGRADE YOUR WORKING SYSTEM, WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT BETWEEN YOUR PRODUCTIONS AND ARCHIVE EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU UPGRADE. ALSO, YOU MAY TRY THE SOFTWARE WITH A SEPARATED INSTALLATION FIRST.

About version numbering: the version of the software contains the last two digits of the year, followed by a three letter abbreviation of the month of release, i.e. “JAN” for January, “FEB” for February, and so on.

Now Firka has experimental language support for Dutch, French*, German, Japanese and (American) Spanish languages. These are mostly machine translated then manually corrected versions, and are subjects of review and improvement. Hereby we also apologize for any translation mistakes. If you would like to help with making language translations, please contact us.

For Apple users: to run the 64-bit OSX version on MacOS (newer versions of OSX), you need to install XQuartz by yourself, since newer versions of the system will no longer install it automatically.

Notice for website owners: please do not copy the Firka files onto your website, make a link to THIS page instead.
