Apologies up front if this is a obvious question, did you do a rescan from the InMusic License manager?

Multiple Questions..
This is posted under BFD Player which uses the InMusic Software Center..
Are you using BFD Player?
BFDv3.4 and earlier versions use the BFD License Manager..
BFDv3.5 and above uses the InMusic Software Center..
Rescanning Content is a different procedure for each..

In BFD Player, click on the BFD Player header (circled in red) to bring up the license & content manager. Click the Content tab and then ‘Rescan All’. See if this finds your Core library. If not, search your drive for the folder “BFD Player - Core Library”. If you find it, then use the ‘Add’ button in the Content window to manually add it then rescan all.
If that doesn’t work then go back to the InMusic Software Center and install again, but choose your own location as to where to install, then rescan, and manually add if necessary.
If none of that works, then I’m out of ideas and you should contact support.

**EDIT:**
Multiple Posts were made during the **“Waiting for Approval Process”**
I made the mistake of responding on a Friday…apparently No One monitors the site on the weekends.

Do you have an **[InMusic Profile](https://profile.inmusicbrands.com/customer/account/create/)**…and the InMusic Software Center Installed?..
Typically when I see BFD Player and Product manager mentioned together..that usually indicates that either you have an Alesis Kit that came with the FREE BFD Player (there were Special Editions that came with earlier version of BFD Player and used SN and Old License System)..or an older version of BFD using the BFD License Manager and downloaded installed BFD Player directly from BFD Drums without having the InMusic Profile and InMusic Software Center Installed.
The links to the InMusic Software Center are listed under the Product in your InMusic Profile..
The InMusic Profile email address must match whatever email address was used for BFD Player
download links and/or Expansions purchase.
The InMusic Software Center is launched and authorizes the BFD Player and CORE Library etc..

I have the same problem. I downloaded the free BFD Player from the link I received in my email, and the core library was not installed. I discovered where to download it from, after logging into my InMusic account on the web and clicking around under my profile and “My Products”. There was a message that I should install the InMusic Software Center before downloading anything else. After installing Software Center, I opened it on my PC and under “My Software” BFD Player was displayed as downloaded and BFD Player Core Library was waiting to be downloaded. I’m currently downloading the core library…it’s large on a slow 10Mbps DSL link out in the sticks.
