Installation problem of maschine expansions

swingmix

If I change computers, do I have to install maschine expansions through EXE?

Or should I save the last folder? I just need to put the folder on the hard drive, and Maschine will automatically recognize it?

Because I don't want to go to install via exe every time. I found that each installation also has no other files, just one big folder. So I just need to leave this folder alone, right?

Hi @swingmix

If you are running a macOS system, and still have access to the files on your old system, you can follow these steps:

Unfortunately this does not work on Windows systems.

On Windows, all Expansions must be installed from scratch when moving to a new system, so that the new registry entries and activation files can be correctly generated.

We are currently looking into a way of implementing a locate feature for Expansions in Native Access and hope that this will be addressed in a future update.

In the meantime, you will simply need to reinstall them.

If you have them installed in an external hd that you use for both computers, you can use the locate function of NA
