    @ninjadavi How about installing Commercial Electro 2? This will solve the problem you have.

    here it was released ReFX.Nexus.Commercial.Electro.2.XP.for.Nexus.3

    I'm sorry ...

    Although not all libraries can be used, there are some that can be used ...

    The system I use is:
    Windows 7 SP 1
    AMD PC

    Anyway you could explain how you got the Nexus 2 presets to work in 3? I'd appreciate it

    Just download this,

    LINK REMOVED, use PM for that.

    and extract to Nexus Library folder and overwrite files. Thats it.

    It contains all presets from all expansions from Nexus 2 and Nexus 3 expansions (ONLY PRESETS!!!)

    I'm on Win10 64bit. I don't have Nexus 2 installed before this. I don't know if there's a simpler workaround, or if it will work for you, but this is what I did step by step :

    1. I installed the Nexus 3 and all the XPs. Make sure everything runs perfectly.

    2. I installed the Nexus 2, and set the library to the same one with the Nexus 3. Copy and paste everything inside that folder, make sure the folders are correct.

    3. I download some Nexus 2 sound library from that "famous Russian tracker", a large one. Copied it all to the same Nexus 2 & 3 content folder, and delete the "data.nbd" file, sometimes it isn't there. If the file is present, delete it.
    - there are some nice Virus patches that I like, that's why I downloaded it, you don't have to, if you already have Nexus 2 library, just skip the download, and delete the data.ndb file.

    4. I run Nexus 2 in Reaper (because it can run 32bit vst without Jbridge) wait for about 10 minutes of VST blackscreen (this is normal for cracked Nexus 2) because Nexus 2 is decoding all the presets (a large library in this case including the Nexus 3). The cracked Nexus 2 can decode all the presets and generate a new database file (data.ndb file that has been deleted earlier). Wait until that finished and see all the presets loaded inside Nexus 2, all of them, including the Nexus 3 presets.
    - you can run it in other DAW using Jbridge (if you familiar with it)

    5. Try few Nexus 2 presets, make sure you know which one is Nexus 2 and Nexus 3 presets. If it is Nexus 2 preset, it will play like normal, if you select Nexus 3 preset, it will crash.

    6. Close the vst, close the DAW.

    7. Open the DAW and run the Nexus 3, everything will be there.

    Good luck.

    Nexus 3 don't use:
    Data.ndb
    license_n3.hst
    sync/.transactions.json
    Licenses (folder)
    all that part can be deleted.

    the original package is as pure joke of mixed content.
    you even don't need this to load anything from v3 or v2 presets.

    i fully agree with articstorm, i had no problem too and i blocked all connections in firewall and host and i get that when i start cubase and load nexus, i see that in network monitor nexus it connects to 127.0.0.1 both in source that in the destination since on the host I put this ip. In fact I have an old expansion of the nexus 2 encrypted and if I load the presets it tells me that it does not succeed because it cannot reach the server to convert them

    So, when you try to load N2 presets, N3 will connect to the internet and convert the N2 presets, right?

    this could be how it works with the new 3.4.4, I started with the original Chinese release and it didn't do that. It couldn't play the N2 presets. I noticed the notification about it converting the N2 preset to latest format with the 3.4.4 whether it really connect to the internet (reFX server) or not I don't know because I blocked the IPs provided by the OP. Maybe other members that have been studying the behaviour of the N3 could clarify about this.

    3.3.9 did the same, when you tried to load N2 presets, i connected to the reFX server for converting.
    And it also clearly noted somewhere on the FAQ on the reFX page.

    But so far all presets should be encrypted and saved - and ofc shared across the network.

    Hi, first post here.
    I have no problems with bad behavours on my mac (catalina)
    All the presets are playable and loads fast.
    It was a struggle for instal this thing but at the end i'm happy. ( the samples dir is on my extern ssd)

    I set the ip's in my router and make a complete backup before the install. :)

    Here is what I found.
    I tested with each one of this.

    0.0.0.0 web.refx.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-52-70-136-170.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-54-70-136-156.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws .com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-52-42-114-201.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-54-213-115-232.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-52-46-136- 71.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 auth.refx.com

    I added each one of these to the hosts file, restarted DAW and loaded a N2 preset on N3.
    Now with all of the below 6 lines added to the hosts file,
    0.0.0.0 web.refx.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-52-70-136-170.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-54-70-136-156.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws .com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-52-42-114-201.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-54-213-115-232.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    0.0.0.0 ec2-52-46-136- 71.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    N3 could encrypt the N2 presets (decrypted) from the reFX server.

    The moment I added this particular line
    0.0.0.0 auth.refx.com
    N3 said it cannot connect to the server to convert the preset.

    This is what I found out.
