Hi David, 

I checked your licenses and you have not activated your regular iLok licenses yet. 

Here is more information for you regarding license management!

Check out the screenshots below the video to learn how to open a cloud session.

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply. I went into iLok Manager and activated my legacy instruments using the cloud, and then reinstalled VE 7, but I still have the same issue. I can get both VE 6 and VE 7 to open at the same time as standalone instances, but VE 6 has no option for inserting an instance of the Synchron Player and VE 7 has no option for inserting an instance of Vienna Instruments. Also (and more importantly for me as I work almost exclusively inside Finale), even after rescanning for VST plugins in Finale I cannot get Finale to show both of them inside VST Banks & Effects. Finale only displays the Vienna Ensemble I most recently reinstalled (in this case VE 7). Is it because both .DLL files have the same name?

I have a feeling that the problem is that when I reinstall one or the other (VE 6 or 7), the installation is writing over the VE DLL file that was already in my default VST2 plugins folder. Do I need to put the VE 6 and VE 7 VST2 files in separate folders?

Hello David!

It's normal that you only see one Vienna Ensemble plugin. That's the way it should be. Installing one Vienna Ensemble version will overwrite the other - at least the plugins. I advice against making experiments with having both plugins installed. This has a high potential of becoming a big mess.

I have attached a screenshot where you can see how to add Vienna Instruments Pro with Vienna Ensemble 7 (iLok).

Hi David!

Oh sorry. I'm not at the office anymore. You can add Vienna Instruments Pro with the third button at the bottom right (virtual instrument plug-ins). Depending on what you have registered, it might also be the second button.

Hi David,

Right click in the left pane (after creating an instance). The top choice should be Insert VI Pro.

Hello David!

Vienna Ensemble 7 (free) can of course add Vienna Instruments Pro. You don't need to have a license for Vienna Instruments Pro. It's free since we have switched to iLok. If it isn't available in Vienna Ensemble, you probably don't have it installed. You can install Vienna Instruments Pro with the Vienna Assistant.

Best regards,
Andi

Hi Andi - I have VE 7 and VI Pro downloaded and installed via Vienna Assistant, and I'm still not seeing any way inside VE 7 to load VI Pro - just the Synchron Player, same as before. Should the iLok Manager be showing a line for VI Pro, even though it doesn't require a license (it's not showing it)? I'm very confused at this point....

Thanks again -
DG

OK, I finally figured out how to insert an instance of VI Pro into VE 7 - by right clicking, then clicking on Insert Plugin, then clicking on VI Pro.
