    Please, be gentle..

    My quad core G5 (10.4.11) has passed on. I have replaced it with a new machine running 10.8.4. I have managed to get Logic (v.9) to recognise my old Horizon libraries in EXS 24, but I'm afraid I am just totally out of touch with the current situation concerning VI and the other products I have from VSL.

    I have special editions Vol 1 and 2 (ext) and the samples are already installed on external drives.

    I have looked through the forums and not had much luck - what do I need? I don't think I had an iLok when I first purchased SE 1 and 2, but have one now. I have never had the opportunity to run Vienna Ensemble as I didn't have a machine that would run it.

    I feel a bit like a dinosaur coming back to life in modern times.

    Any constructive help would be most appreciated. I fully expect to get unhelpful stuff too...I used to be a regular contributor to this forum before I got sick of mean and counter-productive posting. I look forward to be back up to speed with my various bits.

    In anticipation of any assistance...thank you!

    VSL doesn't use iLok, but rather eLicenser (ye olde Syncrosoft).

    Do you know...as soon as I hit "post" I realised I have the Syncrosoft key already...but thanks for reminding me...d'oh!

    So, I have Vienna Instruments and Ensemble installed now, but it comes up empty of any instruments.

    What do I need to point at where I have the samples stored, and how do I go about doing it...or do I need to redownload all of my products again from the VSL website?

    Thanks for your patience..

     Sounds like you need to point the manager to your samples.  Please watch these few video's, I think the one you need is the directory manager video.

    Thanks very much. I thought I was a power user, yet, had no idea that even with VI classic, there was a directory manager! Now fully conversant and trying desperately to get my head round the differences between classic and the new way :-)

    Finally feeling less anxious as the heaviness of a massive upgrade in machine and OS is lessening with every library that I resolve.

    I appreciate the help :-) I shall return to being a regular viewer and contributor where I can...
