Mac or PC? For PC, there’s this:

> [@BFD asks to migrate EVERY time I open it](https://forum.bfddrums.com/t/bfd-asks-to-migrate-every-time-i-open-it/232/10):

> For you Windows dudes Open Registry Editor Navigate to: Computer\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\SOFTWARE[BFD Drums]([https://www.kvraudio.com/auto/d4228](https://www.kvraudio.com/auto/d4228))[BFD3]([https://www.kvraudio.com/auto/p610](https://www.kvraudio.com/auto/p610)) Check for these entries: FirstRun, fxp2inm\_migration, and NeedScan If you don’t have them all, create them. They should all be string types. Set FirstRun to ‘No’ without quotes. Set fxp2inm\_migration to ‘migrated’ without quotes. Set ‘NeedScan’ to ‘no’ without quotes.

The Mac equivalent is this. Use a plist editor to fix.

I thought this was fixed sometime no later than v3.4.2.4. If you’re using that, also send an email to [support@bfddrums.com](mailto:support@bfddrums.com), or send a PM to @exBFD_Drew.
