I've been in contact with their very friendly customer support (Jonathan) but even through a series of emails, screenshots, etc., I'm still at Square One. Its location is on a 3rd internal drive that I've named 'VIs and Plug-ins' Trilian and Omnisphere have been authorized on the new SSD, but neither can find the necessary STEAM folder which is in place and working just fine on my older HD and with DP 8.01. I'm using DP 8.06 on the newer SSD and I've managed to re-authorize and run all VIs and plugins except for two manufacturers.FXpansion BFD2 (haven't contacted them yet) and Spectrasonics.

I'm trying to create a dual boot system with my new SSD running Mountain Lion (10.8.5) while maintaing the complete workability of my solid SL (10.6.8) system until I'm sure that everything is AOK. I searched the forum ('Omnisphere', 'Trilian', 'STEAM') but nothing popped up to address this particular issue although I believe it's a common one.

I'll leave this post up in case it might be of some benefit down the road for others. I have no idea why Spectarsonics wanted to see the path through Drive 1 (SSD) to Drive 2 (Macintosh HD) to Drive 3 (VIs and Plug-ins). (Macintosh HD/Users/BuzzySmith/Library/Application Support/Spectasonics/STEAM (alias))

Would you like to locate it?', I tried actually going back to the Macintosh HD path (which is not the startup drive right this minute) and it found it through that path. For some reason, and on a hunch, when presented with the ' Caution STEAM Folder not found.
