Is this true of most plugins?

[Terry Wetzel]

Wow guys! I'm overwhelmed by all the responses! (Or maybe I need another cup of coffee). I'm not sure I'm following what I may or may not have done correctly during the download/install process. I recall that I purchased the plugin on line, then clicked on "Run" when asked if I wanted to Save or run the program. Everything after that appeared to go smoothly and the plugin was installed in the proper folder along with my standard plugins. Now I don't know how to tell which one is the free version and which one is the paid version. How do I decide which one to remove from the folder so that, in the future I'm only dealing with the full version? Thanks.

bradchoo. I probably forgot to say I'm on PT's 9(.0.6). As stated, I did download the paid version from the Massey site. I assumed that no further action from me was necessary.

I didn't have that problem with my Massey plugs. Lucky I guess.
Can you rename the plug?

Well.... hmmmm... you're running Windows, yes? Can you just uninstall both of them and then download and reinstall the paid version? I'm sure you shouldn't have to do that.... but a) I've not run into this before b) I'm running on Mac and am not familiar with plug-ins on a Windows machine.

So... it's a suggestion...

bradchoo. If I remove both versions and then re-download the paid version, wouldn't I have to pay for it again? Or am I not understanding your suggestion? Thanks

Obviously you would want to check with the plugin vendor, but usually you are allowed to redownload without paying again...

You only pay for something once. Why would you need to re-download the plugin? If you save the download before installing it then if you ever need to re-install the plugin it's right there on your machine or on a backup disk. I do that with all my plugins - they get saved off to a separate disk. The only possible thing that would interfere with re-installing something (provided anything else on your computer hasn't changed) would be whatever authorization scheme is used.

No, not at all. When you log in to your Massey account, the license key(s) of the paid plug-ins and the full downloads are available.

As musicman691 said, you probably still have the paid download in your downloads folder of the machine you downloaded it on, so you may not even have to download it again.

If you check the page for TD5 Tape Delay, you can see that upgrading to the full version provides session-restore functionality and save-and-restore functionality.

Sorry I misunderstood....I thought that was the way the Massey plugin worked..... They didn't save presets with the full version.....
I understand the demo wouldn't.
