...ran into a small snag ... it was my fault.... maybe this will save YOU some time... if you have the same situation
 
Upgraded to SONAR Platinum ...
Installed all except Addictive Drums 2 & Melodyne ...because I had already purchased the full version of both prior to upgrading SONAR
 
Didn't want to re-install AD2 ...I did want the 3 AD PAKS!!!

*** after some confusion ***
 
I ran the XLN Online Installer
In response to the question "Where Did You Get This Product?" ...it's important to click "Other, Not Sure"
reason being the Others did not allow full entry of the given serial number 
 
...CAREFULLY entered the product serial number for AD 2 displayed in Command Center

Hit Register Product Key and BAM!!! - the three AD PAK deal popped up...

Installed my choices and good to go....

...hope someone benefits from this!!!
(or maybe I'm just slow as hell)

NOTE ... VERY Satisfied with the new Upgrade process ...Cakewalk COOL!!!
 
 

Thanks for that.  I will be trying my hand at DL the AD content this time around.

This is how I did mine as well...definite time saver...

...glad to help!!!

Hey man thanks for that, I'll try it later - I really want that Vintage Dry Kit !!

That's sounds interesting, thanks. I don't have XLN AD2, so last night, when I updated via the Command Center from X3 to Sonar Platinum, I downloaded the XLN installer (64-bit) I imported my serial number for AD2 from the but I used a different option than the 'other' that you mentioned. My problem is that I can only see a download for a trial version of AD2, and yet it reports that my serial number has been registered ! I will have another go tonight using your tip and see what happens.
 
Thanks

Hey Musec03,
I did the same as you and it all went well, but I can't figure out where the 3 midi beats packs I chose have gone. They did not appear in the XLN download queue like the AD packs and kit pieces did. Any ideas?

That threw me a bit too, but they don't show in the download queue. They will show up in AD2 though.  The way AD2 seems to work is all of the MIDI paks show up in the interface, but the ones you don't own show the word Demo on them. 

Thanks Ghenghis - I closed AD down and when I reopened it, they were there. All good now!
