Moving a Native Instruments Product to Another Location on Your Computer (ni)

Note: This feature is available on Mac OS X 10.10 (and higher) and Windows 7 (and higher). If you are using Mac OS X 10.9 (or lower), please refer to this article instead.

This article explains how to move a Native Instruments product to another location on your computer. Please note:

• Computers running macOS / Mac OS X have dedicated system folders for VST, AU, AAX or RTAS plug-ins. Do not move your plug-in files to another location as your host sequencer will not be able to detect them.

• If you want to learn more about VST plug-in administration on Windows computers, watch this video.

1. Move your NI product to its new location.

2. Launch Native Access.

3. Go to the Installed products tab. The product you moved is marked with a yellow REPAIR label.

   

4. Click on REPAIR and select RELOCATE in the drop-down menu.

   

5. In the Relocate window Native Access lists the old location of your NI product and notifies you it is invalid. Click BROWSE next to the product you have moved.

   

6. Browse to your product's new location, select its folder and click Open.

   

7. The Relocate window now lists your product's new location path. Click the RELOCATE button.

   

8. Your installation is now repaired. Your NI product appears as correctly installed in Native Access.
