Installing SD3 on a second machine without 2 downloads

[Tyler Timpe]

Hello,

I just upgraded from Superior 2 and am in the process of downloading and installing Superior 3. Since the download is taking over an hour for Part 1 just for my Desktop, just wanted to find out if there is a way to simply install on my main machine and transfer to another drive for my second install (laptop that connects directly to my vDrums) and not download again over the internet. Just simply trying to bypass downloading twice.

Will it be as simple as copying the Sample Library folder to my laptop and then linking the library location inside the Superior 3 application?

Thanks so much!

It is just about that simple, download and install the libraries on machine one. Install the application/plug-in on machine 2 then copy; SL-SuperiorDrummer3 from machine 1 to a location on machine 2. Start SD3 on machine 2, it may complain that you have no libraries installed and you may get a chance to navigate to the location where you copied the libraries to, otherwise go to Settings > Libraries > Browse for Library Paths and navigate to the folder where you put the library. I assuming it asks you then to authorize. I have only authorized via PM lately.

Hope this helps.

Yep.
Done it twice myself.
Once just to move my libraries to a larger external drive.
Even easier in SD3 than in SD2.

Thanks Brad and Scott. Worked perfectly and saved a lot of time!
