How do I install my Play product on my Mac?

To install one of EastWest’s Play libraries on a Mac, do the following:

1.) Insert Disc #1 of your product into your MAC.

2.) Double click the item with “Installer” in the title to begin the installer process.

3.) After agreeing to the License terms, select your system drive in the “Select a Destination” window. NOTE: You can designate the Library destination from the next screen.

4.) From the “Custom Install…” screen you can designate the Library to be installed to a different drive. To the right of the Library name, click the folder icon under the “Location” column to select a destination for the Library. We suggest installing the library on a fast drive (7200 RPM or faster) dedicated to samples for best performance.

5.) The next window will ask you to verify that you have all of the discs you need to succesfully install your product, then installation will begin. NOTE: Our Play libraries come on Dual Layer DVD discs, and may take upwards of 45 minutes per disc to install, so please allow sufficient time per disc, as the long installation time is normal. The progress bar is also updated after each disc, and is not always accurate and may appear as though it’s “stuck.” Give it time. The installer will prompt you when it is ready for the next disc.

6.) After installation you will need to Authorize, instructions for that can be found at EastWest’s FAQ or in our Knowledgebase.

7.) After installation we suggest that you get the latest Play Software Update and any applicable Library updates to be sure that all of your software is up to the latest version. You can find the latest updates at EastWest’s Play updates page.
