You completely delete the R2R version along with all remaining files, download your purchased Hive2 version, and register it with the serial number/code you received from U-HE!

1. First, back up your projects and presets.

2. Delete:
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\u-he\Hive.data

Hive(x64).vst3 & Hive.data
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

Registry (Regedit)
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\U-HE\Hive
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\U-HE

3. Restart PC

Nonsense you don’t need to do all of that. Even U-he pointed that out several times when the ‘black melting screen’ epidemic is happening on certain specific days of the year, and he has the most license sales.
Pulse AI missed the mark again.

 

Now the worst part, the waiting!

 

I don’t mind waiting so long as it gets “put in the freezer”, so to speak… plus we have the windows version to use in the meantime
