Question - Starting Over With IK Multimedia

[Hewitt Huntwork]

Of course I upgraded to Total Studio Max 4 because I wanted Tonex Max and the X-Gear effect models. (Don't worry, I used Jam Points to get 30% off)

What I want to do, however, is remove all things IK from my machine and then only newly install the things I'm really going to use.

The install I can handle. But how do I remove all the IK stuff that's already on my machine before I begin? Any advice?

Most important thing is to deauthorize everything in the IK Product Manager, to ensure you don't permanently lose any of your authorizations, which will happen if you forget about them and reinstall your OS or your computer dies with them still authorized.

Every IK product comes with an uninstaller in the zip with the installer. Use them.

Thanks for the tip!

I think I just installed stuff from the Product Manager, so I don't think any zips were involved? At least not in the sense that I downloaded and unzipped them.

The Product Manager actually downloads all of the zips to Documents > IK Multimedia > IK Product Manager.

So the chances are that folder is already filled with gigabytes of installers you didn't even know were taking up space. Fun!

If you don't have them, you can download any installer from your IK User Area > [product] > Past Releases. The current version is at the top of the list.

Thank you Jamcat. I *did* find them, and looked at them in WinRar and didn't see any uninstallers. Then I actually unzipped the installer for MixBox to a folder on my desktop and there was no uninstaller. Same with TONEX. I'll try your other suggestion.

They definitely have uninstallers on Mac. I thought they were also included on Windows, though it's been a while since I've installed anything on Windows, so I could be wrong about that. There might be uninstallers in your IK Start Menu folder, or the built-in Windows uninstaller should work.
