Hello kdt63,
Assuming you wanted to keep using Hauptwerk v4 (as opposed to upgrading to the current v6), the only things you'd need install are:
- Any drivers needed for your audio/MIDI interface and any other hardware you might have (e.g. touch-screens).
- The driver for the Hauptwerk v4 USB Key (HASP dongle): viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19710&p=147779#p147779
Note also that the Hauptwerk v4 software is no longer supported or available for download from MDA, so you'd need to have a saved/DVD copy of the v4.2.1 installer somewhere in order to be able to install v4. Likewise, not all sample set producers still have v4 versions of their sample sets available for download.
Alternatively, if you wanted to upgrade to the current version (v6.0.2) then you could download and install v6 directly -- there would be no need to install v4 or any v4 sample sets first. that case you would need to:
- Create an iLok account.
- Buy an iLok 2/3 dongle if you wished.
- Install iLok License Manager ( https://ilok.com/ ).
- Activate your v6 licence in iLok License Manager.
- Install the driver for the v4 USB Key as above.
- Download and install Hauptwerk v6 ( ( https://www.hauptwerk.com/win/ ) ).
- Launch Hauptwerk v6 and migrate your v4 sample set licences to v6.
- Activate the resulting licences in iLok License Manager.
- Download and install the v5+ versions of your sample sets from their makers, e.g. MDA/Paramount sample sets are here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=17947 .
