I have an almost full C-drive and want to know if I can transfer NI-software from my C-drive to another harddrive on my computer and still give access when using NI-software. I use Cubase Pro 13.

    You can move the libraries. Move them to your new drive, start Native Access and click "Maintenance" at the bottom left corner. Click "Repair Installed Products" then enter the new path to your library folder in the box that pops up.

    Thank you for your answer, mykejb.

    By "move them to your new drive" does that mean I have to reinstall all of them to the drive where I have made the new "library folder". How can this best be done?

    As of now all my NI-software is installed on my C-drive (e.g. path for content location: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Session Keys Upright\). Must I reinstall them one by one in Native Access, or is it possible to "drag and drop" them from one drive to another?

    Best method is using 'copy' and insert/paste in Windows Explorer or use a copy program such as "SyncBack Free" (SyncBack is rather advanced and you ought to test-run any profile you make on non important data) , or use a less advanced copy program. Then you will not get any errors that can not be fixed by copy again. Then when copy is OK then you can delete original.
