Brief Question on iZotope Nectar Elements


Recommended Posts

A question for any long-standing Cakewalk / SONAR users ...

Did Nectar Elements come as a "freebie" with any product in the past ?  I am working on an old project which used Nectar Elements as a plugin, and it's now asking to be re-authorised ... and of course, I cannot remember any of the details to authorise it.

I have an account with iZotope, but there is no sale registered there, so my conclusion is that it may have come as a "freebie".

Thanks.

 

Sorry, just realised this should be posted somewhere else ...

Kind of. I forgot the details. If I'm not mistaken it was not directly from Cakewalk. Forgive me if I am wrong , but I believe when Cakewalk first started including Addictive Drums, during the registration with XLN they were giving away the original version of Elements and we got in on deal.

I got nectar elements with sound forge 11 in 2018. In my plugin list i think it is called izotope nectar elements. The gui is orange. I have another called nectar 3 elements with the gui opening to a black gui with question what are you going for? I think that one was in my crossgrade to music production suite 2.1. Hope that helps

Thanks dubdisciple, your answer started ringing some bells here ... I too installed the Addictive Drums plugin at that time.  I'll see if I can get more info from the XLN people.  They are very forthcoming with any questions I've had in the past.

Thanks to you too treesha.  Funnily, I bought and installed Nectar 3 Plus a couple of days ago (as I couldn't get the Elements anymore) thinking it was a blown-up version of Elements, but it's different as it's more voice-oriented (and is black 😀).  Elements (the orange one) had a lot of pre-defined setups based on music styles to choose from and I edited a lot to my own taste.  That's why I'm keen to get it back somehow.   I'm wondering if by getting Nectar 3 Plus it installed Elements too and is now asking for the same authorisation codes as Nectar 3 ... I haven't tried that.  Maybe ... just maybe 🤔

If you registered it, it should still be in your izotope account. You have to look in the legacy installers area

Wow ... that did it !  You're DA Man !! Thanks a lot.  Somehow Nectar Elements ended up in my purchase history (at $0) ... which was NOT there the last time I looked.  And once again has proven that time flies by so quickly.  It was March 2014 !   BTW, there was no legacy installers area, but that's moot now.
