Format Disk to move to Windows 11

67maxx

Hi all,
I am upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
I will not just upgrade, but do a clean install of Windows 11 to get rid of all the clutter on my SSD.
So, the SSD (and PC) will be the same, in theory.
I am worried about licenses (I don't know how many I have left and how to check them), should I uninstall everything?
I hope not because I have a lot to uninstall, even some legacy ones like Absynth 5 that I don't want to lose.

Thanks in advance :)

As far as I know the N.I. usually do not count activation unless abused and I don't know of any way to de-authorize it anyway. However if you are referring to e.g. iZotope software and other not fully implemented software then yes please de-authorize that.

You are allowed to have it all installed on three machines anyway provided that you only use the software at one machine at a time and only on one machine regularly. Also if having the content on another drive then that may save you some downloading later after that you have reinstalled all the apps and plugins that is.

You should be able to click the three little dots right to the install options and there select Locate ,reference : Reinstalling a Komplete Bundle Without Re-Downloading Kontakt Libraries

If you're going to format your drive, the important question is - where are your products installed? If they're on the same drive, formatting will erase everything.

Oh thanks, you're right, I forgot to tell that I have the libraries in another SSD (I will not format it) and the programs are in the main SSD (the one I'll format).

I actually don't know how to manage the licences, should I deactivate them first? if yes, how?
