+1 XLN Audio rocks
Their ADpaks are very good. Their base AD kit is still my favorite goto kit.

It looks like XLN and Celemony are both very accommodating to X3 users.   Nice!   If only Celemony had an alternative product to offer in lieu of the Essentials license...     

My thoughts exactly! I actually have 2 essentials licences just gathering dust...

Same here - one from S1 and one from X3.    Oh well, I didn't explictly purchase either one, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad... 
 
 
 
Oh.. and my original license came from a cheap Melodyne Uno upgrade when that was discontinued, and that license was from a cheap MBOX2 that I purchased from a coworker.   I guess I really lucked out with my path to Melodyne Editor.

 Pretty much my entire collection of plugs (and DAWs) has been amassed by a complex web of discounts, bonuses and get this so this comes free, kind of things.

((* I actually decided to edit this post and remove a BFD2 purchase gripe because when I re-read it, I just sound like a whinging little b*tch! Which I fear is not in the spirit of the thread at all?!! *))

And instead, in it's place I'll simply write:
YAY XLN AUDIO!!!

Ditto.    A Johnson JStation that came w/ Home Studio was my original upgrade path to SONAR 2.   And then it was all downhill from there...   

I also had Addictive Drums (plus several ADPaks) already. I actually found a guy (in France) that was willing to trade me a decent piece of software - Waldorf Lector - for my extra Addictive Drums registration code. He actually mailed me his dongle all the way from France, so that I could transfer the license to my dongle. Now I just need to find the time to mail his dongle back!

Royal Yaksman,
 
Was curious how long it took for them to get back to you after your initial proposal??
I am also an Addictive Drums owner for some time and emailed them about this with all my info several days ago but have heard nothing back so far...

I was actually a bit shocked because it was the next day. I just took another look at the emails they sent and noticed a case number on them. So I'm not sure if you email XLN direct from your own email, if you get one of those? I'd assume so, but I've been horrifically wrong before?!!

Perhaps try going to their site, click on the support tab and do the request from there. That way you will get to fill in all their boxes and you should get an automated reply that they've received it straight away.

But yeah, the whole process was swift as!

Took a couple of days, but they just added two AdPaks for me.  Great customer service.  Unprecedented, in fact.

Same here. These guys rock.
