hey guys,
title says it all,
im looking into buying RC-20 since ive been using it alot, but i also use k'd addictive drums 2 - which im not ready to buy yet
is there any workaround on how to run k'd Addictive Drums 2 alongside legit RC-20?

on my windows machine i can just keep the k'd RC-20 it doesnt matter since its cracked to the latest version, but for mac the latest k'd RC-20 is an older version so i must use a legit version if i want to stay up to date on my mac machine

 

yes you can. you have to edit generated license manually inserting strings from legit license file.

 

thanks for the comment! could you elaborate tho?
like id have to:
1. generate a R2R license (.txt file?)
2. open it up and manually add string from legit license, and save it

questions:
1. where do i find the legit license file
[EDIT: ok i found it on mac- /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/XLN Online Installer/App/Licenses/]

2. how do i know which string resembles the legit license

could you perhaps explain the process? thanks again

EDIT 2: OK FIGURED IT OUT
for anyone that might look it up in the future:
R2R keygen will output a .txt file that is the serial, with full keys for all products, while your legit license might have only a few of these. - you need to merge the R2R keys into the original license file by simply copy and pasting.
so in your original license file, leave the few keys you have as is (since they are legit) and then just copy and paste all the remaining/missing ones from R2R keygen.
license location on mac: /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/XLN Online Installer/App/Licenses/
license location on windows: C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\XLN Online Installer\App\Licenses

So, I've installed AD2 now, but I want to check something with the licenses and the plugins. But I cannot seem to find the LicenseOI.txt file, which has to be located at C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\XLN Online Installer\App\Licenses. There was one in there, but it was only for RC-20. I removed the LicenseOI.txt to check if the plugin would ask me to register Addictive Drums 2, but it was still licensed. Is there some magical map in explorer which is hiding my LicenseOI.txt for Addictive Drums 2?

I'd like to hear soon from u guys!

@F.L.O.W.
Hello F.L.O.W Addictive Drums 2 keeps licensed, even without the LicenseOI.txt. How can I unlicense everything

 

I know! I read.

No idea, sorry.

 

I found the solution. For everyone that's trying to do the same thing:

1. Click Start
2. Type: "regedit" and run as administrator.
3. Type this in the address bar: "Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-45348592-1630985433-1582830958-1001\SOFTWARE\XLN Audio"
4. There should be one folder named "Addictive Drums 2". This folder includes an activation file.
5 You can just delete the "Addictive Drums 2" folder.

You can also do this with RC-20 if you need to.

Note: I don't know if "S-1-5-21-45348592-1630985433-1582830958-1001" is different on your computer, but just check the map. If the map includes all folders and file described above, you should be good.

 

This worked for you? You don't get the GUI error:
cLuaGGUIWindow GUIBoot.lua init caught exception: Lua doString exception: Lua doString exception: Error found when calling 'luaThrow': [lua main] /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/RC-20 Retro Color/App/FXFX0003/GuiSpec.xpak/FX_GUIBoot.lua: Error found when calling 'proc': Invalid license file format (missing second column) (row 1, column 2)

 

I had the original AD2. I did an uninstall and installed the latest version of R2R AD2,5. I have a problem, AD2 won't start.
Reports an error: Crash detected.
I did everything you wrote but it still won't work.

 

Is this method still working? Can anyone confirm?
