Upgrading to newest build

BFD3 Latest Builds & Release Notes
1

I have a Mac m1 max and am wanting to upgrade BFD3 (the full version) to 3.4.5.2 as this is what I see as the latest version when I search. This version is supposed to be usable in Sonoma. currently I have version 3.4.4 build 31. I have the latest version of license manager installed 3.0.6.22 as when I download the new license manager software it is the same. My question is where do I go to get the update for the BFD3 software? I can’t find any way to upgrade it through LM. what am I missing? I just want to get the new BFD3 version and install it…please help I just a can’t find it… thanks Pugs

UPDATE: I think I see how this is supposed to workout something is very wrong. when I go to the BFDDrums page, login and download the “latest” License Manager software and then try to install it by dragging the icon to my applications folder, I get a message saying the the installer I’m trying to use is actually OLDER than then the license manger that is already in my applications folder??? How can this be? they both have dates of 2022! two years ago… How am I supposed to get the latest build of BFD3 so I can use it in Sonoma (3.4.5.2 or higher). Why is InMusic hiding this installer??? Has anyone else been able to find this installer and install it? I’m am in a word Baffled.

Don’t upgrade BFD Pugs, ditch it and find an alternative.
Licensing issue like yours are a constant problem and getting steadily worse. The software has been very poorly supported since its transfer to the new owners, and they have shown no interest in fixing the erratic and unreliable licensing system. BFD is no longer fit for purpose.

I did get some help in resolving my issue and everything seems to be working fine. The renewal of the licenses every 3 months surly needs attention but it only takes about 30 seconds to be back up and running. I love the sounds of BFD3 the hats are just great and everything else as well. Some of the most intricate midi patterns too. I’m really looking forward to BFD4 and I hope it happens. Mostly my opinion of InMusic is positive, they are no where near as slick as Toontrack but then who is? Appreciate your taking time to help me but really I’m pretty happy. One other thing… I do not use BFD3 with a midi drum kit!!! I just program in what I need. I think there have been quite a few posts about minor issues in that area.
Pugs.
