Heh... thanks, twaddle. I got it. Too slow typing. lol

SUCCESS! Okay I'm gonna point out the obvious here but sometimes people have problems with this stuff. Always make sure you are TYPING in info like serial numbers. NOT copy pasting them in as this causes problems sometimes. Also make sure you are not mixing up zeros 0 with the letter O. If there are dashes sometimes you have to type them in manually, sometimes the computer will do it for you. That said now BFD is giving me a pop up that is saying it has detected new authorized extra audio content and if I have more stuff to authorize to scan for it now (if so click OK). I do not so I'm just gonna click cancel. Okay I think this is sorted. BRB.

The license manager is now saying the status of that S/N is "Ok". I click the "Kit" menu in BFD and there is my Rock Legends kit. Awesome. Now to play around with it. I'll see you guys in a bit. Cheers!

Oops. Sorry there was one more thing that needed to be done after that. When I selected the Rock Legends kit nothing was loading. I clicked the Options menu (Checkmark) and rebuild database. It did a scan and now when I select the kit it loads. I also seem to have a whole buttload more presets in the Kit list. NOW I can play. Cheers.

Okay. This kit sounds WAY better. It's not exactly what I want but it will certainly tide me over until I can afford the Andy John's pack. Now again that is just personal taste. This kit will be perfect for pretty much most people and I'm positive I'll be able to tweak it to do everything I need anyway. For me though I'm looking for something ultra tight, clean and punchy which is why I keep prattling on about that Andy John stuff. This Rock Legends kit is more smooth and vintage sounding and I will be able to use even the raw samples as they will be nice for quite a bit but as an old cheese head rocker (a dying breed... I know) it's just slightly off for my needs but considering all the options in BFD I'd bet I can get some more thwack out of it. BTW I just checked out the "Grooves" button in BFD and there are tons of beats that I actually might be able to use. That has always been a big problem for me in regards to grooves especially in Session Drummer. They were just... not right. This is a massive list and I literally poked around with it for one minute and found a ton of usable stuff. Cool cool and more cool. This is pretty much one of the best deals I have ever gotten in regards to audio production purchases. If I haven't convinced you already DOOO IIIIT!!! It's like the cost of two cases of crappy beer or dinner at a semi decent restaurant. In fact I'm gonna harass all my real life buddies into buying it and I NEVER do that. Cheers.

Good work beepster,
I've been trying to persuade people here of the wonderful world of BFD Eco & BFD2 in my own subtle way for some time now.
I'm expecting a commission check from fxpansion any day now

EDIT: This post was essentially sheer exuberance and I am removing it because I think the people that needed to see it saw it. The gist was I am extremely happy with this purchase and it has finally rounded out my ability to create music again after a very long journey. Buy this software if you can. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Rail for all your help and stevec who pointed out this deal in the first place and all the awesome folks here on the forum who advised me to look at the BFD brand as well as everyone else on the forum. You all rock. Cheers.

Cripes... these lists of grooves go on and on and on and they are organized in an actually useful way. So good. It's also nice the quantize, humanize, simplify and swing controls are RIGHT there. Now I just gotta learn how to build a track. BTW to get at what I'm talking about simply hit the "Grooves" button at the top left corner of the screen. Right now I'm just scrolling through the Metal grooves. I could put an album together easily with these beats and fills and it wouldn't even come across as basic or generic. Awesome.

This Rock Legends kit is actually gonna work out great for a lot of stuff. Loving it more and more as I play around with it. Very honest and pure sounding. Beautiful.

Looking like next week for me!
 
Good to hear that it's making that kind of difference for you, Beepster.
