I hope this is in the right section.
I can't seem to locate the keygen anywhere, and it hasn't been in any of the kits I've downloaded.

Soundbanks download fine, placed in folder, but it asks for the authorization files.
I remember there was several r2r keygens I had to use in Wine before

I'm using legitimate copies of Superior Drummer 3 and a couple kits, if that makes a difference.

On MacBook Pro 2024 m4

Thanks!

Dunno how it is necessarily on apple, but on PC the k'd SD3 client app and k'd libraries must be used together. No mixing or matching. This is why (for SD3 stuff anyway) there is no need for keygens and the like for adding the libs. You just move them into place and go.

 

Hmm. That explains why it opens in the EZdrummer 3 I downloaded.

So simply no way to generate an authorization file anymore?

 

There are no versions from R2R to kg for years anyway. I use VR, install and go, all expansions work. I'm not even sure how up to date they are at this point actually.

 

So, pretty much my only solution is to get a crack version of SD3?
But then I can't use the default SD3 kit and others I have purchased within the cracked version?

 

You need cracked SD3 and/or EZdrummer. There are no keygens needed for the expansions.
The Core Library was separately released. That is the part I'm unsure of. You could try using what you already have, but if you do not care just download both.

There's no need to generate auth files due to the pre-k'd SD3 client app and the pre-k'd libraries just simply working. Just grab the latest scene release SD3 client app and use the k'd libraries (not legit stuff) and you should be good to go.

 

??? Is it? Afaik SD3 and EZDrummer work like Kontakt, any library works with the cracked host. Unless I'm missing something.

 

Can always give 'em a try and see if they work. Can't say for sure since I have no use for legit lib's.

 

Incorrect, there are no k'd or cracked libraries. There are absolutely no differences between the libraries available on the sister site and the legit libraries OP has purchased. As @Smeghead and @clone stated, use the cracked SD3. This will allow you to use any library.

 

I stand corrected...

 

As my dad used to say, "I stand corrected...in my orthopaedic shoe!"

 

Sorry to bump this thread, but I wanted to say thank you for the help!

All I had to do was installed a cracked update for SD3, and now the kits open.
