can i transfer all my halion ratings to another computer?
what i would like to do is if i am going on vacation for a month, i would like to use my laptop, i think i have to deactivate my desktop version and activate on the laptop…. and then reverse that when i get home .?

Assuming you are using HALion 7, you do not need to deactivate one computer to use another - you can have up to three computers activated simultaneously on one licence. The only stipulation is that all the installations should be for your personal use - you cannot activate a second machine for someone else to use.

So the ratings must be stored on this site , if I install my second copy to the laptop , the ratings would be also installed ?
Alternatively, I suppose when I migrate my Mac to a laptop, and load cubase , the program might ask me to sign in again (or worse)….
No, I don’t think they will transfer. It is possible that there is a file on the computer which has it, but I don’t know which one it is. It might be possible to copy+paste that file to do what you want… Someone else know about this?
ps. a work-around is to just take a screen-shot with patches sorted by rating, and it takes 2 minutes to transfer.
I have lots of 4 and 5s. Would be much longer than 2 minutes.
Maybe I’ll contact support on this
According to Steinberg, it should work if you copy the preferences folder:
But I have tried both to copy the entire folder and only the mediabay3.db file. Anyway, I can’t get the ratings transferred to the new PC. Applies to both Halion and Groove Agent. Anyone solved this?
It’s possible that User preset ratings are stored in the actual preset file. I don’t use ratings but I set a few and (using Windows Explorer) noticed that the presets to which I had added a rating had had their modified date changed.
Thanks for the help, I will test this.
