Software that can be 100% re-downloaded.
I am in the middle of a major clean up of my software download archives, It would be useful to know what software and sample libraries can simply be downloaded and reinstalled from your account if disaster strikes. One of course may still want to keep a backup to save time/bandwidth. Things change pretty rapidly so please correct me if I am wrong.
To start here are a couple.
Yes
Cakewalk - via CCC
Toontrack- via new software manager.
Arturia - Via Software Centre.
EastWest composer cloud. (not sure about stand alone products)
No
IK-Multimedia - time restrictions on Sampletank 3 (new downloads at a cost)

ATM IK is the only one I can think of that I own and all my ST3 stuff is on my Raid-1 NAS. Thanks for reminding me that I also need to get it on my cloud storage.

After a Windows 10 clean install and an unintended disk wipeout, I redownloaded Studio 1 V2 and PianoTeq with no problems.
I believe that the Pettenhouse and Sampletekk links expire after a certain time, though both are nice guys and might allow a redownload.
I'm not sure about NI. I looked at my page and it allows Kontakt, but not my full KU9 that I fortunately have on hard drive. It might depend on your original purchase as mine was a crossgrade on harddrive.
Oh I don't charge either. :P

I am not sure about Komplete either. I have a box of DVDs that it came on. Its one of the vendors I need to investigate further.

Yep, I think the larger libraries from Ultimate might be off limits. Then again, I don't see why they wouldn't allow us to re-download them if they are indeed taking the download-route. Keep us posted, Glyn, if you get more news from NI.

No one mentioned XLN!
Because Fleer couldn't decide on the order of it in his list.

Am I turning astigmatic, or is Garritan actually shorter than eSoundz? No, it can't be. Surely not. Ay, the problem with proportional fonts...

I checked "my products and serial numbers" on my account at NI and everything is availabe for download except, of course, 3rd party products authorised via service centre. Downloads are available for Komplete 10 and earlier versions of Komplete I owned. I am not sure if this would be the case for ultimate.

Komplete Ultimate can be downloaded. I don't see the point of it since it comes on a drive.
EWQL HOW Diamond - not sure since upgrades come on a drive.
Kirk Hunter libraries can.
I always archive purchases.

What if the drive fails, or you get robbed? I am currently creating a second off site back up. I won't be including Komplete as I have a set of DVDs and if disaster strikes and something happens to them I can download it.

This is one thing that has pissed me off to no end. I cannot back up this library because of the way their file tree and naming system is. Quite a few file names are too long to be moved to another backup drive so I can only use the library on the drive it came on. Even when trying to eliminate characters to get under the 255 limit from base folder names it won't do it. Someone over at EW needs to be kicked in the head
