hi – is there any way we can have a feature in Product Manager that allows us to install multiple products simultaneously without having to click each one, key in system password etc? Would be super helpful.
Agree. Just got a new laptop and have to install multiple libraries and countless updates. Too many clicks and passwords to count.
Love the software, but the installation and update process sucks. Take a cue from Softube, Native Instruments, Arturia, and others. Simply “update all” and the magic happens without user intervention. You have so many products now that I think this is a necessity!

The problem with Arturia’s way is if you don’t have ‘silent install’ enabled you have to deal with multiple clicks for each update. That would be almost tolerable if the clicks to ok something were all in the same place.

Totally agree. There are other music products that will update all of it in one go so you click through for the first and are good to go. Super irritating having to click through and put in admin password for each product sometimes multiple times (initial download then updates).
But really if you want a fully functioning system with no glitches this is the only way to go. Apple’s Migration Assistant (frequently called Migration Assassin) Doesn’t give good results. For moving data it’s okay but for programs – not so much.

Compared to Native Instruments’ Native Access (I have Komplete 13 + Maschine + lots of extras), TPM is not even close. Native Access has an “Install everything” button and that’s it. It also offers one-click updates for each product.
Luckily Toontrack’s products are very, very good.

Currently installing everything on a new Mac. I have 83 products.
Each and every one needs to be
downloaded
wait for it to happen………..
run install
for the apps, allow a helper program to run
read important information
check agreement, agree
set location if necessary
hit install again
Enter computer password
wait for installation to finish………
click close
allow program access to detachable drive
move software to trash?
authorize
If there are any updates:
download….
install each update (midi, sound etc)
tell where it should go
enter password
wait for it to happen
Et cetera.
This…is…madness.
Yes this is a real problem, and for the first time it’s actively stopping me from buying expansion packs such as the new one for EZD3. I, too, have plenty of Toontrack products across drums, bass and keys. The thought of repeating mindless tasks (checking agreements, install locations, entering system passwords) for each and every one should I move system or for simple product updates is quite off-putting. Do hope its fixed soon.
I have 122 registered products including expansion kits and midi packs. For my new laptop the installation method has made this an enormous task!! No way I would do this in one sitting, so I have actually spread it out over weeks, doing a few at a time because WHO HAS TIME FOR THIS?!?!? Writing this reply as my Arturia, Waves, Native Instruments, and Softube software updates in the background without any further input. Plug-in Alliance does ONE download and ONE install. This is more important to me now than new sounds, instruments, or MIDI packs.
I would like to see this go beyond the above response:

Yes, this is something we definitely want to implement/improve.
Any progress on this? Got my new Mac Studio and it’s taking FOREVER to do all the installs. Then to add insult to injury, products with fresh downloads need updates immediately after installation. And the update is a two or three part installation!! Seems like there is no good reason to have the MIDI update as a separate installer from a sound installer update, etc.
Guess I will have everything installed by the end of the week. Software is great, but this is a terribly annoying process.
Any progress on streamlining the installation/update process? Dreading moving to a new system…
Operating system: macOS Ventura (13)
Unfortunately no movement on this. In another thread one of the people talked about an upcoming update but just to SD3. Maybe the installer will get a makeover as well. I like the system Arturia has with their installer with the ‘silent install’ option. Engage that and when there’s updates to multiple programs it updates them all with no fuss and the installer knows/remembers where you installed stuff as well.

And here we go… 26 MIDI packs have to be updated. I’m too tired to do the math to figure out how many mouse clicks that is. And besides, my clicking finger will be in rehab.
Shucks. Hang in there. Maybe we need a support group…
Pretty shabby. I’ve given up on this and am not bothering with any more Toontrack purchases/updates. There’s other stuff out there that does an equally good/better job.
Still no batch install of multiple products possible. Have updates for EZmix software and 63 Drum Midi packages. 7 f…ing mouse clicks for each update 🙁
