HELP , but don’t panic ….yet

[lurksalot]

It’s new computer (PC) time , I’ve bought one and I’ve started , slowly, transferring files and folders, no probs.

I’m off work for a week after a hernia op , so I don’t have to panic

i can’t pick up the guitars for a bit, so this months composition will wait a week while I set up the computer 

 

the fun is with programs , ‘apps’ and plug ins.

i will pay for a new reaper , sorted.

Wave's, raptor and ilok might cause issues as I can’t open the license programs , currently telling me that power shell is not working. 
this part of the process fills me with dread.

i can’t get the computers to talk to each other over the network so it’s transfer via a storage device .

 

any expert advice will really lower my anxiety on this stuff 😁 TIA

Power shell issue resolved , in theory , the license stuff might be transferable now at least , though EZdrummer doesn’t work !

Waves are working , but I had to pay for some sort of upgrade FFS

 

izotope ozone 8, I use that but can’t move the license to the new computer from the ilok account.

i can’t find where the download was from and £129 is more than I want to pay for another FFS 

 

 

time for a break

This might help (if you have not already found it). https://support.izotope.com/hc/en-us/articles/7562928924317-How-to-Install-iZotope-Products-on-a-New-Computer.  Having recently been through the same scenario you have my sympathy.

You should be able to transfer your ilok- dependent licences off the computer back to the ilok itself, if I'm understanding you correctly. Is the ilok manager not letting you move them?

I've just re-installed Ozone 8 on my PC; it wasn't all that difficult (but not with iLok; I've never gone down that rabbit hole...). If it helps, here's the installation file I used  ...

 

iZotope_Ozone_Elements_v8_01.exe

The whole point of iLok is that you can easily move your licences between different computers. Unfortunately in practice it never seems to be as simple as it should be.

I have no ‘ilok’ just the manager program that holds the authority , I can’t move the license between computers

IMO that's probably the best thing you can do with it.

If you can't get any microphone input, may I suggest that it's a sign, and should be left like that..?

MIDI inputs sorted, 

 

woah , I think I’m nearly there 👍
