So, I have a bit of a problem, I hope this is the correct forum. Essentially, due to some problems, I had to reinstall windows and format my drive. All my project files for my DAW are fine, and all I'm doing is reinstalling all the software I had on the SSD(most of it was on the HDD). Addictive Drums was on the SSD before wiping it. I'm upgrading from a version I installed back in like 2016 titled "XLN.Audio.Addictive.Drums.2.v2.0.7.Complete.HAPPY.NEW.YEAR-R2R.". It seems the files installed fine, but when I open old projects, it doesn't open the correct library. So, for example, if I was using the jazz library, with some specific settings before, or the indie one, etc, now all my projects open with the default Fairfax library. Is there a way to have it open the correct library I was working with before and fix this? For reference, my DAW is Reaper

 

I believe you need the 2.17 version which is out there somewhere.

 

I see. If this is the only way, I suppose I'll get a previous version. As long as it has the same amount of libraries, I suppose it doesn't matter. Is this a common problem? How might I be able to tell in the future before upgrading whether a new version will work or not?

It does.

keyd v2.1.9 is a bit tricky to install.

Beforehand, not at all. But you could wait and let others (hopefully more experienced members) try it.

 

Small problem also with this version and with version 2.1.15, the installations work but I have no sound from AD neither on live 11 nor on logic 10.5. I do not understand. thanks help if anyone had this problem and solved it

 

I have no problems with AD2 V2.1.9. in Logic 10.5.1. on Mojave. I forget which version I had prior to it, but I did not run into your issue. I am sure this is because I would have used some combination of Codesigner, BatChmod and Permissions Reset 2 to get it working. Running on an administrator enabled account.

HTH. I had also read these instructions that someone posted first, but also I had to manually create the folders to put the generated license into.

Steps:


0. Uninstall previous versions.
01. Mount the ISO.
02. Copy the Library folder “Addictive Drums 2” to : /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/ ***I had to create this "XLN Audio" folder first.
03. Copy the “XLN Audio” application folder and its contents to your applications. example: Applications/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2
04. Copy the plugins to their respective locations (VST + Components) Do not deviate.
05. Run Batchmod to repair the XO application file (all permissions boxes checked for all users)
06. Run and close the Stand Alone App one time. (This creates a log file)
07. Locate the log file in: (User DIR) ~/Library/Logs/Addictive Drums 2 Logs/
08. Open the latest log file and find "ComputerID", then copy its numbered text.
09. Run included “XLN_KeyGen.exe” on Windows (or Mac if you know how).
10. Input ComputerID you copied from the log file in step 08 into keygen.
11. Click "Generate (OSX)" on keygen & save license in an easy to find place.
12. Move the generated license (LicensesOI.txt) to the location below.
/Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/XLN Online Installer/App/Licenses/


Notes:
If you already have other XLN items installed then a "LicensesOI" file will already exist on your drive. Replace it with the newly generated LicenseOI file. Your other XLN items will still work, at least mine did. *****I could not confirm this note because the old LicenseOI file for my previous version of addictive drums was in a different location altogether.
Logic Users:
You must open Terminal and paste this code to get AU to pass validation:
sudo codesign -f -s - #filepathto/Addictive Drums 2.component
Example:
sudo codesign -f -s - /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Addictive\ Drums\ 2.component
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Addictive Drums 2.component: replacing existing signature
