Free Version of Sampletank 3 can now import legacy libraries - any libraries that you could use with Sampletank 2 can now be imported.
 
Finally can use some of em old sounds...

Hundreds of people with 32-bit Sampletank 2 "Total Workstation" just cried out in joy. 
 
IK will make a fortune charging them to re-download all those soundbanks they no longer have copies of.
 
Let loose the endless complaints about their download policies!

Luckily I used the paid upgrade on absolutely nothing since purchasing.

As they put it: "Now SampleTank 3 CS removes all limitations by unlocking the full software functionality including unlimited editing and import features. SampleTank 3 CS is a standalone player and plug-in that can be expanded with IK’s Instrument Collections that are available at any time from the integrated Custom Shop: Everything from rare pianos to signature artist drums to the new Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE collection. Legacy VIs, libraries and user samples can also now be imported without restriction. SampleTank 3 CS comes loaded with 30 free instruments, 1.8 GB of sounds, 81 MIDI patterns and 2 loop kits.
SampleTank 3 CS gives users the ability to edit factory and user instruments to meet the needs of every production. Although it was previously only available in the full version of SampleTank 3, now every user can edit any instrument down to the finest detail absolutely free. SampleTank 3 provides a full arsenal of classic and modern filters that can be modulated by LFOs and envelopes that secures its place among the world’s best virtual instruments. From the classic transistor ladder lowpass to the cutting-edge phaser filter, SampleTank 3 CS has it all. With coveted features such as the STRETCH™ Engine and an arsenal of 55 studio-quality plug-in effects processors, SampleTank 3 CS is a powerhouse for the modern music maker.
SampleTank 3 CS comes with a core collection of sounds that represent every category to get users started. With over 1.8 GB of sample content and 30 different instruments including an audiophile stereo grand piano, the included set makes a strong foundation for music creation. But it doesn’t stop there. Users can expand SampleTank 3 CS with titles from IK’s diverse range of SampleTank 3 Instrument Collections like the American Acoustic, Neil Peart Drums, Cinematic Percussion, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 and much more available as additional purchases that get directly installed into the user’s customizable SampleTank 3 library. Musicians may also import third party samples and their own sounds.
SampleTank 3 CS now provides the ability to import and play instruments from legacy, 32-bit VIs such as SampleMoog, Sonik Synth 2 and SampleTron into SampleTank 3’s contemporary 64-bit architecture. Legacy libraries such as the Xpansion Tank series are also easily imported."

IK will do anything to bring back the ST2 group buys! This sets the stage! As a bonus it also kills any chance of reselling the full ST3 unless someone is dying for the base content.

Yes...but they said, and I quote...

There will be no SampleTank FREE...

You will NOT be able to import your legacy libraries with the FREE version...

Seems to me they should be running for President...IJS....

I played with the idea to upgrade ST 2,
but now ,if ST 3 free can read my ST 2 library,
I don´t know why .

Well, I only bought it to import all the legacy libraries I had.
 
Once again I see why you should never buy an IK product when it first comes out. :/

Agree. The free sample set is a nice gesture, but I think they should throw in jampoints too. They know full well that most people upgraded to use the legacy stuff.
