AD2 MIDIpaks - How to Select?

I upgraded to Platinum, and while doing the AD2 registration, picked the AdPaks, then clicked on "Get Deal" expecting I would then be able to select the MIDIpaks included with the Platium/AD2 deal. But, no. All of a sudden, I'm back at the install page.
 
Do I have to go back into 'Register' to get the MIDIPaks or is it something else?

Just go back to register and you will be at the page where you can choose. Just scroll down.

Thanks, Danny.
 
Now I have another question. I selected the MIDIPaks (three times, in fact) through the registration page, went back to install, but don't get the option to install them and they aren't showing up in the list. Any ideas?
 
More info: The first time I selected them, I clicked on the "Get Deal" button again (how the f*** was I supposed to know I shouldn't?) and got an error. Now it seems like I'm not being allowed to install them.

The adpaks don't show up any more in the on-line installer. When I selected them today, it went through what appeared to be a scanning process, but nothing appeared to download. This is what now usually happens with a fairly recent change to the installer. In fact I sent a support query myself as I couldn't see them either. XLN assured me that they've been linked and installed and when I went to check, yep, they were there. 
 
Have you checked to see whether they're actually in AD2?

Just go to the xln website and go into your account. Your products should be grayed out from the other products. Midi is not in the install part of xln.

Re: AD2 MIDIpaks - How to Select? 2015/01/22 07:09:35 (permalink)
Thanks for the replies, guys.
 
Hmmm.... I did see them in the installer. The problem was that first time around, I only selected AD2 and the AdPaks before hitting the "Get Deal" button, so I went back into "Register" after AD2 install was finished. That time, I selected the MIDIPaks and hit "Get Deal" again. I mean, what the hell is that button doing there the second time around if I shouldn't click on it, right?
 
Anyway, I got an error, so I tried again.
 
That time (third try by now) I selected MIDIPaks and Kit Pieces, but clicked "Back to Installer" or whatever it's called instead of clicking "Get Deal." I ain't no dummy; can't fool me twice!
 
Back in the installer, I had a list of the Kit Pieces ready to install, but still no MIDIPaks. I installed the Kit Pieces and went back to "Register" for a fourth try.
 
And a fifth try.
 
I can select them, but they just aren't showing up for installation. (sigh)

Like I stated. They are in your account at XLN. Lit up and everything. They don't get installed, but are in the program just the same.

Thanks, Danny, but...
 
I went to My Account on the XLN website, selected the MIDIPaks and they were (apparently) added to my account. However, I still don't have them in my list in the installer. I restarted it, it went and checked with the online store, but there are still no MIDIPaks listed.
 
Are you saying this is normal? The MIDIPaks will never show up in the list on the left-hand side of the installer? But they'll be installed anyway?

Exactly. Thats the way they do it. It seems that the midi is embedded in AD2.

MidiPaks will not show up in your installer.  When you open AD (either standalone or in Sonar) and click Beats you should see a bunch of MidiPacks.  The ones you didn't select should have DEMO on them, the one's you selected should not have DEMO (and you should have access to all of their content.)

Okay, thanks Danny and Dave. I got it now.
 
Silly me; I was expecting actual feedback from the user interface to tell me these things were installed.

The serial number is case sensitive.  I know that's tripped up a few people.  I think you also need to include the dashes.

That's how I did it and it worked perfectly.

Howdy Again ... sorry to be slow on this ... haven't heard back from XLN yet...

I did enter the serial number as shown on the screen in command center.....
it it possible the serial number does not belong in the registration field?
Is "it" looking for another code ...possibly a challenge as a result of previously entering the serial elsewhere?

I can't remember the XLN registration process ...will review to see what I'm doing wrong...

Thanks All for your help here!

UPDATE!!!!
 
ya know ...for quite a while now ...I've taken the time to be patient and realise...

Most of the software problems I encounter are my problem!!!
...went back to XLN ...ran the online installer ...BAM!!!
checked the "other website..." button asking where I got the product
entered serial number given in command center
the AD PAK deal popped right up with a nice Thank You message for buying SONAR...

Thanks Again Y'all...
