I have done this a few times with success. Are you MAC or PC. I am PC so this procedure works for me. One of the important things first of all, is this going to be the same version going on the new PC. I am assuming it is the 2023 version?

The way I did it is to first of all de-activate the current version of BIAB and RealBand on the old PC. You actually get 3 activation's each year but I have to de-activate since I use all 3 at my location. That way you can re-use the activation's on the new PC

I then copy the entire C:\BB directory to a removable drive along with C:\Realband.

Next step is to copy the copy of BIAB and Realband to the new Hardrive in the new PC. Make sure the directory structure stays the same.

I then re-activate both of them using the serial # I was provided.

Finally I run the following programs from the C:\BB\DATA\INSTALLERS directory. Since you have upgraded in the past you will probably have a few versions of the same program. I just use the latest one. For example, SetUpCyoteWTxx.exe

Others would be:

bbfonts.exe
pgdx_plug_64bit_2_0_0.exe
sforzando_vxx.exe
biab_daw_plugin.xxx.exe
synthmaster29playersetup.exe

xxx being the version number.

Run the what add-ons do I have to make sure you are not missing anything.

Other users probably have other methods of accomplishing this that they like to use to make it work and if you run into trouble, post again or call Tech Support.

I have probably done this 6-7 times over the years using the same method.
