STEAM Folder: You can leave it where it is; it won't be deleted!

 

To save yourself a great deal of aggravation and frustration don't bother with trying to re-authorize before/after every update/upgrade. Make certain all the updates are applied FIRST to bring all the spectra components up to current versions. THEN go ahead and authorize that final version. If you follow the R2R instructions to the letter you should have everything running in no time.

 

so upadate, keyscape, stylus, omnisphere and trillian?

 

Yeah. If you're building a brand new install, just install all your full cores, then the updates and upgrades bringing everything to the most current versions you can find. Once you have completed all the installing of bits then worry about authorizing the stuff. In fact the last time I upgraded all my spectra stuff I just applied the updates/grades to bring everything to current versions and never even looked at re-authorization at all. Everything just worked.

As far as the actual authorization goes, the R2R instructions tell you everything you need to know. Just make certain you read it all and do not skip any steps.

 

When you say update, you can actually apply the update through the program or you have to download up to date versions seperately?

 

For legit: you download them. The plugin just links you to the update page on their website.

For cracked version, you have to download them but not from their site.

 

There are updates/code patches you need to DL (from the release teams, e.g. R2R, V.R., etc) periodically - ones that update the core versions of the apps, updates to the sound libraries, and sound sources. They are all separate self-contained installers that you run against your current installations. You'll need to gather these all up and apply them (in order). Shouldn't be too many of them if your initial install was already close to being current.

hi, just incase its useful to anyone,i havent updated omnisphere in a while.but when i do i normally have to authorise using a different DAW.
cubase is my DAW, but it kept comming up needed authorised,but when i opened in fl studio i was able to do the authorisation then open in cubase all authorised.

 

You can authorize any plugin that you can in your DAW, inside BlueCat's Patchwork standalone version. It is helpful if you keep your DAW firewalled, want to rule out your DAW as a problem, or if you have a session open and don't want to close it. Your daw probably won't see the plugin until you close/reopen it, if you can't force a scan manually.

 

Hmm, I've tried the offline but didn't take. I'm gonna update everything as suggested.

 

Ah I see, I'll have to do that then
