While these FAQs speak to EZDrummer & SuperiorDrummer,
they should apply equally to EZKeys from an operational overview.

You don’t mention which version of Logic you’re using, so here’s a screenshot that I made from Logic 9 …
Just guessing…It sounds as though you haven’t authorized the Nashville kit for use on this computer.
I find authorization easiest by selecting the newly-installed kit from the Orange Drumkit Selection button. (shown below)
The authorization window will pop up and prompt you for your Toontrack Account ID
as well as a prompt to pre-fill the Serial Number. (sorry, I don’t have a screenshot, but pages 8-9 of the Operation Manual document the process).
1. log into your Toontrack account
2. find & click on EZDrummer among your purchases on the “My Products” page.
3. click on the “Updates” tab at the bottom of the pop-up window
4. locate the most current update appropriate for your hardware and OS
5. download, unzip (Windows-only) and install the update
pg 15-16 of the EZDrummer2 Operaton Manual talks briefly ’bout this,
but experience will tell you that saving a custom Song Structure that you’ve created in the Timeline
will only save the layout of the Song Parts (intro, verse, chorus, etc) as kind of a template for whatever groove you’ve dragged into the “MIDI Drop Zone”.
In other words, Song Structures do not save or contain any MIDI grooves.
If you want to save your customized MIDI as “User MIDI”, you can drag your EZD2 Timeline (in whole or just selected parts of it) to the User MIDI pane.
There are also “Save as…” menu options available from the menu immediately above on the right of Timeline.
Please note that just as dragging the Timeline into Pro Tools will not do so, saving User MIDI does not save the individual groove block divisions.
