Once you get it all working, take screen dumps of the critical dialogue screens and store them in a folder. Use them to quickly set up the same parameters whenever they are needed.

Ahh, I see now the purpose for the Re-link, thanks.

Actually, this time it wasn't as painstaking. OTS responded promptly and the setup from the backup file worked easy peasy to my pleasant surprise.

I simply placed the OML file into the DATA folder, opened it and everything is there.

So now goes the other heavy part to setup Reaper and the VST system again sighhhh, thanks for the response, catch up another time.

You Shouldn't have to run either unless you have changed the physical location of the music folder. If it was in C:\Ots\MyMusic and you copied a backup of the original OML file over the blank one that Ots installs, it should pick up your library automatically. You would only have to relink if (say) you moved your music to a different drive letter or folder.

Ok guys, this part always confuses me. After installing OTSAV-DJ then placing the backup OML file into the DATA folder, which option do you run first, the Re-link or the Scan please?

It's alright OTSCorp replied quickly and said I can use a temp license for right now if needed but I will wait until I get a new quality SSD drive this time, either a Crucial MX500 or Samsung 870 EVO

The only way would be to copy the entire contents of the existing HDD across to a new device using disk cloning software. This copies everything, but it *might* also copy the failing sectors from the old hard drive.

Thanks all. I never get the email notifications from this board so never know when someone replies.

I always have a backup of my library audio files and latest OML file so no issues there, it's the freakin amount of work involved with OTS license process and Reaper complicated setup which frustrates me but I guess no choice.
