Will upgrading SonarProducer_7.0 to 8.5 require reloading sound libraries?

I have Sonar Producer 7.0 working great with 3 SoundsOnline libraries (Colossus, RA & SymphonicChoirs).  Question is: will these libraries need to be re-loaded (and re-licensed) if Sonar is upgraded from 7.0 to 8.5?  I'm sure some of you have done this - let me know if it's painful or as simple as loading the new SP 8.5.   thanks!

    I'd say the more accurate answer is "Probably not".
     
    Papi had a problem with a MOTU product after his upgrade, so I wouldn't say it's 100% guaranteed you won't have issues.  
     
    As long as you're not in the middle of a project, I'd say, try it and see.
    Edit:  You asked about your sound libraries.  I should've mentioned that even if the upgrade did cause problems, the sound data portion of the program (libraries) are not typically affected by this and would not need to be reinstalled.

    I have all my various Sample Sets. Loop Libraries etc
    on a separate HDD and, whenever I re-install any of my
    music programs I just edit the default paths to point
    to that folder.

    Thanks John & JonD !!!

    After reading your responses I went ahead and ordered the 8.5 upgrade!  Cakewalk's Marketing Department claim 8.5 has many drum & rhythm enhancements and that's where I could use some help.

    Thanks Again!
