First dumb question of the day
 
I thought I'd have a look at AD last night, but it wasn't available as a vsti, nor in any of the plugin layouts (including default all plugins)
I had a quick look at the Windows Filesystem, did a search but couldn't find anything related to XLN, Addictive Drums or anything remotely similar.
 
I assumed, maybe incorrectly, that AD would be part of the main Sonar Install, i.e. disc 1 for the DVD purchasers
 
Disc 2 is Lops & One Shots
Disc 3 is Dimension Pro
Disc 4 is Additional content
 
I didn't install any of these, just the main installed on Disc 1.
 
So, where on earth is it?
 
 
Thanks,

you have to go online and get it ...
they want you to register with them and do the download from their site 
they have an installer with a whole process to follow ..
I think this is the link I might of used , anyway they explain it here ...
http://www.xlnaudio.com/install
 
it was actually pretty easy , and I wound up using the same installer for Addictive Keys 
every thing went smooth when I did this a few days ago

There should be a download link and reg key in your Cakewalk store account. That gives you an installer that goes online and installs the synth from XLN's website. Be sure to click the Advanced option to specify the installation path if you don't want the default on your system drive. But the cool thing is you can change your mind later, and the installer will move it after the fact.

Jinx! Bed time.

Thanks guys!
 
Download it is then. Though, they could have included it in the installer disc surely, or add another disc.
Negates the whole point of buying boxed media.

Dave , 
Do you happen to know if you can change your mind after the fact if you did a normal default install ? 
 
Kenny

Yes, because I did it. It installed to my system drive by default, and I moved it to D: after the fact by going to the "Advanced" section of the online installer.

Ok this is supposed to be the Full version? I only recieved the Demo version?? How do I get the Full version?

From the Addictive Download Instructions doc that was one of the X3 download files:
 
To download XLN Audio Addictive Drums please go to: http://www.xlnaudio.com/install and enter your Product Key. You will find the product key you need to provide XLN Audio from your Cakewalk Store account listed under “My Registered Products”.
 
But I was mistaken about getting the key from my Store account; I got it from the e-mail sent by Cakewalk containing all the S/Ns for bundled products. I just checked, and it's actually not showing in my Cakewalk Store account for whatever reason.

Ditto on all counts
