Once again, thanks Matt for your suggestions. However, seeing as there's absolutely no chance that I'll be using the BIAB program on my external on another computer. Besides my desktop I only have an old laptop that couldn't run BIAB. All it's pretty much good for is to surf the web and check email.
And so... I downloaded and installed my 2024 upgrade - I let it do it's thing overnight and was very happy when I got up this morning to see that it had downloaded and installed everything without any problems. I know I had the option to just install the new stuff that comes with the upgrade but, call it overkill, I opted to let it do the whole thing. I'm pretty sure I got everything because there's a vast size difference between the older "BB" folder compared to the new "BB" folder.
As I stated above, I did the complete install to an external SSD drive as my internal drive is getting dangerously close to hitting maximum capacity. After doing so, everything seems to be running as it should. Now, my question is:
I haven't uninstalled the 2022 version that is on my internal drive yet. When I start up Studio One 6+ it scans my plugins. Once done it still shows only one instance of PG's plugin. How do I find out what version has been scanned? What can I do to to ensure that it is in fact the newer plugin without deleting the older version for the time being?
I'm certainly not in any hurry to get rid of the 2022 version that's on the internal drive as I figure I should run the upgrade version for a bit before committing to it - just in case I encounter any problems with it. But with the way the upgrade seems to be running so far I'm not expecting there to be any trouble, but my pessimistic self just wants to make sure.

As always, your knowledge and wisdom is very much appreciated!!!
