You have to change the license folder for For dbForge Studio for MySQL:
1. With a third party text editor, for example, Notepad, open the two files dbforgemysql.com.config and dbforgemysql.exe.config in the folder:
C:\Program Files\Devart\\dbForge Studio for MySQL\

2. In the section <appSettings> add the following tag:
<add key="licenseFolder" value="d:\license_folder" />

Please also check that all the users running dbForge has access to the folder:
"d:\license_folder"

Alternatively, you can just deactivate dbForge (select 'Help -> Deactivate...' from the main menu) and, then, activate it again. So, the license file should automatically appear in the right folder which is:
d:\license_folder\
