Moving Libary on external harddrive to a new computer

[Jan Kutschera]

Hi, I have all the downloaded Libraries on an external hard drive. Now I move to a new computer. I installed the product manager and installed ezdrummer, ezbass, etc. so just the instruments, not the libraries. Now I would like to connect my hard drive that already has tons of GB libraries on it to my new computer. Is that possible? How can I tell the product manager that it is already there? Or do I have to download everything again to that external hard drive?

Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

I’m having this same problem too.  I have over 300GB of SDX libraries I purchased, they are on an external SSD hooked up to my new computer.  I’ve installed SD3 and that’s running fine.  I’ve went into SD settings and added the additional library path for my SSD but SD3 still can’t see/find my SDX.

When I go into product manager, it shows they are not installed and giving me the option to download them again.  I should not have to download them again.  That’s pointless.

Anyone have the solution ?  Thanks in advance.

Operating system: macOS Sonoma (14)

Hi,

this should work just fine, I am a bit puzzled by ‘I’ve went into SD settings and added the additional library path for my SSD‘. Could you please post a screen shot of the paths to your Libraries? And clarify which path would be correct?

I seem to be having the same problem. I can’t figure out how to operate the library path window. I could use a step by step tutorial.
