Steam to Platinum

So I currently own x3PE through Steam, I upgrade to Platinum through the webshop but I have an issue, I own several PC modules and CA-2A through steam but they do not show as steam purchases (or at all) in my cake account, how can I get these transfered over? I mean I bought them legit so I figure I probably should be able to sort this out???

That's cool Andrew, also worth noting, I had to remove x3, and in the end backed up my stuff and reinstalled windows to stop platinum hanging at the loading screen (which I don't mind to do I was due a clen up) so I guess some of the steam based x3 files cause a problem there, maybe you can look into that too. To be honest I am glad to be away from steam. I am in no huge rush as long as it can get sorted I'll be an happy camper.

Sorry to bump again, I get the feeling my post got lost in the busy again.

Also have an issue with Command centre its picked up that I already had Addictive Drums installed but has not picked up that Melodyne essential is already installed (although it has been upgraded to the editor edition)

You should send him a PM.......he may not be visiting the forums regularly.

BTW, I'm in this club too having crossgraded to the Cakewalk Store Sonar Platinum - from Steam X3 Professional.
 
I'm yet to do the actual install ... but have moved swiftly on the ADPaks ;). (One of the reasons was to take advantage of the ReValver Promo (til  Jan 31) ... which turned out to be less enthralling than I thought as it was just the free offering + an XLN Amp ... to get you on the Peavey Appstore bandwagon.
 
Along with the CA-2A T-Type Levelling Amp, there'll be the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor too, as these two came bundled with the upgrades on Steam and never actually got registered to our Cakewalk Accounts (well - at least not visible on 'My Account')
 
Aside: I got the Concrete Limiter and Expander Gate direct from the Cakewalk Store - these are reflected in 'My Account' OK.
 
(I've also got a couple of the DSF Sound Center Expansion Packs - less concerned about those initially).
 
PS: @Werewindle - if they are still about we should be able to something with the DSF Expansions regardless.
Progs reside under %ProgramData%.
Sfzs an wavs reside under Multisample dirs of DimPro and Rapture.
 

I was hoping it would simply install to the C:\Programs path, Create new Reg entries and the 2 could coexist ... but it's obviously picking up the Registry entries for Steam X3 which is an issue.
 
I'm not sure when I'll get a window in the immediate future to do the prep/install. I am pretty tech savvy ... but don't expect it to all be plain sailing.
 
I am confident I do know where the DSF packs are installed (assuming C:\, Steam)...

progs (and /images, /patterns) are under
C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Sound Center\programs

sfzs / wavs under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Cakewalk Sound Center\Modules\Multisamples
- \Dimension Pro
- \Rapture
(according to pack)    
sfzs (top level)
wavs in sub-directories prefixed with DSF e.g,
- \DSF Guitar Samples
- \DSF Steinway Grand Samples

64bit makes calls to the 32bit location for the sound files (in Steam).
You can distinguish them from factory CSC sounds by e.g, date differences etc.
... but with backups in place it may just be easier to copy the full directories.

Hmmm - you'll have seen some of the other posts about SSDs - good luck.
 
I'd hope that there won't be any issue with Addictive Drums and don't intend to reinstall it. It was always a separate install from Steam to %ProgramFiles% / %ProgramData% and I have my XLN Online Installer VST settings directed off to my custom VST(2) directory anyway. (VST3s are common and external of Steam - but I don't think AD is VST3 anyway).
 
Oh - but I'll check - thanks.

I Gotta add Andrew replied to my PM and is going to try to add the products I bought from steam to my cakewalk account page, cant say fairer than that.

I would send him a pm if I were you since the bakers presence on the forum seems to have faded a little now the release rush has settled a little, I can't see why they wouldn't do it for others in the same boat, I'm nobody special just a.n.other customer :)

Greeny ... I suggest the Bakers are really under the pump at present.
 
1. SSO / Account Migration issues
2. New Store
3. New Release / Pricing Model / Development Model
4. NAMM
5. Getting Steam Release going
 
I can imagine it would've all but 'mandatory' to those in Gibson Towers to have the core release in place for NAMM / announcements.
 
I've still not attempted the install nor PMed, nor raised a Support Call. I really want to map things out first. I'm likely gonna do downloads and 'custom' installs rather than the automated Command Center install. I may not even be able to do it this month.
 
I'm gonna hope/trust we'll be looked after ... but am not gonna start rattling baking trays just yet. (But then I don't have the immediate need).
 
Yes, I would typically expect clear progress in 3 weeks ... I'd expect it in 2. I'm also keen to maintain the accessibility and goodwill of Andrew R, Seth K, et al.

Yup, dont wanna cause a big ruckus myself and I know they are busy, but we did pay for this stuff and we cant use it....
 
I can't imagine sorting out what seems to be a handful of cases would be a monumental task, the progress I have gotten in 3 weeks is 1 private message.

As I have the week after next off I intend to drill down and see what is working and what is not. I suspect some can be corrected by just moving stuff around but just in case will take a drive image before I start. First thing is to see if I can load a small project on platinum without the load of errors I had last time.

I tired moving stuff around myself yesterday with no luck, the non steam install doesn't seem to see any of the stuff I moved from steam X3 even though its all in the right place etc.

BTW ... I know of 5 of us ....

Well sound center doesn't seem to work at all and if I load a project with it in I get loads of errors saying it cant find files e.g. org-alloutslw.sfx yet the folder is in the vst list and can be found at D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Cakewalk Sound Center\Modules\Multisamples\Rapture\Sound Center Classic B-3\org-AllOutSlwVbS.sfz
It recognises the expansion packs but immediately throws out an error for a missing sfx file if one tries to load it
