I'm sure this has been asked before, but as I'm about to build a brand new desktop, I need to start thinking about the process of getting all of my software, plugins, and sample libraries up and running on the new system.
I'd like to take it step by step.
Sonar Platinum - Is this as simple as downloading CCC and reinstalling Sonar Platinum on my new computer? For my saved project templates, can I just copy and paste those template files into the project template folder on the new computer? Any other tips regarding this?
iLok - I have several plugins that utilize iLok (such as the Slate Everything Bundle, Eventide UltraReverb, a few others). Do I have to contact Pace directly and let them know that I'm switching computers so that I can authorize the new system?
Native Instruments Komplete 9 Ultimate - This was originally installed from a physical hard drive that shipped with the product. Then it was all authorized for my current system through the NI Service Center app. Since it's authorized through the Service Center, I'm guessing I'll have to reinstall it from the physical drive again and go through the, I fear, very long process of doing all of the updates to all of the products, right?
Other Kontakt Player libraries - Other libraries that are Kontakt Player libraries are also authorized through the Service Center. Can I simply copy the folders for these libraries over to my new system's drive (where I'll store my sample libraries) and reauthorize them through the Service Center? Will I get a prompt to paste the authorization code into the Service Center when I try to load the library for the first time?
Spitfire Audio - Their sample libraries also can be downloaded through their Download Manager, and then that app will check for updates. If I simply copy the libraries over to my new system, the Library Manager won't know about them on system and will be unable to check for updates. How do I handle this?
Slate Everything Bundle - This works both through Gobbler and iLok, so I fear this is going to be a pain, but I hope I'm wrong. Has anyone had to switch the Everything Bundle to a new system?
There may be some other thing I haven't thought about yet, but needless to say, this is a daunting task. Any tips to those who have done this would be really appreciated. Thank you!
