Installing VST - Real Newbie question [Resolved]

[jdInCT]

Hi there

Sorry, but this is going to be a real newbie question. At 65 I am tired of lugging around an AC30 and GT-10 with a bad back so have been dragged kicking and screaming into 2021.

I have recently installed AT5 and loving it. When I ran the installation from Product Manager it asked me if I wanted to install the VST as well as the stand-alone. At that point in time I thought I would only need the stand-alone, but as I get more into it I realize that I will be getting into DAWs and will need the VST (I assume).

All that is to ask this question. Now that I have installed just the stand-alone, how do I now also install the VST? Must I download it all again via Product Manager and select the options - or is there a way of doing it without having to do a whole new install (and thereby use another one of my authorizations)?

As I said - newbie question.

Many thanks

Hello jdlnCT and welcome to the forums.

You will have to go through the install process again, this time checking the VST box.

It shouldn't take up an authorisation as you are not changing your setup at a hardware component level. However, I would probably de-authorise via the IKPM and then re-authorise after installation just to be sure.

Hope that helps.

All sorted out. Many thanks for taking the time to reply.
