New OS, do I need to re-download all my files again?

[Mitchell Golding]

Hi guys, was wondering is someone would be able to help me with this

I have recently purchased a new SSD to run my OS on, and was wondering if Toontrack Manager can find my SD3 files or if I have to download them again? On my old OS I had all my SD3 files stored on an external hard drive. I have changed my downloads folder to point to this new drive and tried refreshing but it is still saying I need to re download them.

Any help would be amazing
Thanks
Mitch

Download and install only Superior Drummer 3 (none of the libraries). Run SD3 standalone and it should complain that it can’t find the libraries.
Go into Settings > Libraries and Browse for Library Path(s).
Navigate to the SSD and folder with your libraries, select.

Stop/start Product Manager and you should be good to go.

Which products specifically are you asking about? (SD3, SD2, EZD, etc) Which SDX and or EZX add ons do you have? Where your Sound libraries located.
