Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $Gl_{n}(K)$ $(K$ is a field of characteristic $0$ and $n\geq 2)$ acting by linear substitution on a relatively free algebra $K\langle x_{1},\hdots ,x_{n}\rangle /I$ of a variety of unitary associative algebras. The algebra of invariants is relatively free if and only if $G$ is a pseudo-reflection group and $I$ contains the polynomial $[[x_{2},x_{1}],x_{1}].$
