Reinstalling Hollywood Strings and Vienna to an SSD

With some help,I just installed a 1TB SSD (Samsung 850 Pro)—and another 1TB spinning drive while the box was open, just for project space.
 
I had previously uninstalled Hollywood Strings from my old spinning drive because I was out of space, and performance sucked anyway.  Vienna Special Edition+ and Vienna Dimension Strings are still on the old spinning drive.
 
1. HOLLYWOOD.  I still have Play installed for other East-West products.  Do I just copy the Hollywood libraries from the original disc it was shipped on to the new SSD and repoint Play?  Or is there something else needed?  I am hoping I won't have to reauthorize or any such crap.
2. VIENNA.  Do I just drag-copy the libraries to the SSD (and clean off the old drive later)?  If so, how do I redirect Vienna Instruments and Vienna Instruments Pro to the SSD? I won't clean off the old drive until this is working because life has no meaning without Vienna.
 
You may be laughing at the questions, but I have had worlds of trouble getting virtual instruments set up.  There always seems to be a catch or two.
 
THANKS! --Your pal, The Mighty Konrad

Thanks, Scott!  I have an iLok and an eLicenser and I know one is for Vienna and one is for Ivory II.  I did not recall that Hollywood also authorized used on of them.  I agree a dongle is a good thing, although eLicenser used to be confusing to update.  I understand they have been working hard to make the product better.
 
You have put my mind at ease.  Hollywood is churning away now, copying to the SSD. (I bought Hollywood on a hard drive and I bought a cradle that connects to USB.  I did not realize that my PC has a SATA connector in the back!  I wish I had bought a cradle with that connection, but the copying is almost done now.)
 
Tip to other users: If you bought the Diamond collection, you do NOT need to install the Gold folder--there is nothing unique in it.  That is not clear in the documentation.  To make matters more confusing, the Diamond folder is not called Diamond: it's just called Hollywood Strings.  So, you need the Hollywood Strings folder but not the Gold folder. Keep in mind, though, the naming conventions may have changed since I bought this a year or so ago.

Hmmm.  Current status:  I have Vienna libraries installed on both the old drive and the new SSD.  I would like to get the SSD libraries activated before deleting the old ones on the spinning drive.
 
Where, exactly, is that Directory Manager thing?
 
Thanks!

OK, thanks.  So it is not in the application (e.g., Vienna Insturments or Vienna Instruments Pro).  Thank you!  The manual is very unclear and just says it will happen automatically when you installed.  Tanks much for helping out, guys.

I agree. Vienna Instruments Pro (and even the free version) is a far better application than EastWest PLAY. And you can do much more with Vienna. The software provides a lot of features and flexibility. It's more complicated and takes a bit more time to learn, but it's worth the extra learning curve.
