Re-imaged Mac – can I reuse the pre-image Ez External Hard Drive Libraries?

[archybrowne]

I have Superior3 and various EzDrummer2, EZ Midi packs stored on an external hard drive.

I have had to re-image (if that’s the term for wiping and re-installing the operating system).

Is it possible to use my vast Library of Toontrack stuff stored on my external hard drive that I was using before the re-image.

After the re-image I have used product manager to re-install the Superior3 – but product manager is not smart enough to recognise my Library installations.

Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

Once you have installed SD3, point it to your libraries. Then run the PM and run the updates to reinstall your grooves from those libraries.

Like jord said; Start SD3 standalone (you may get a message indicating that it can’t find your libraries so just navigate to the location where they are stored) otherwise go to: Settings > Libraries/Paths, then select Add Library Paths and navigate to where they are located. Once they all show up in your library list, start PM and it should give you the option to authorize them all at once. Then apply any updates.
