Default Anyone has old EZ Drummer working in Windows 10?

I open some ancient project once in a while and have a handful using first EZ Drummer(stock and DFH kits). Feels like at certain point I started having a hard time to keep it activated and seems am finally unable to activate it at all with IDs I see on my Toontrack account.

I know it's not officially supported in Windows 10 but wondering it it's still possible to make it run or is it an another one for the slowly growing pile of defunct plugins. I don't plan to use it (never really liked its sound tbh), just being a completionist liking things working as I left them ten years back.

Apparently there was an upgrade offer in 2015 or something

The regular drum kit works for me on Win 10, but not the Cocktail ezx.

I have EZD1 and 2 on my system so unfortunately I dont know what the problem is, but cocktail IS working in Win 10 on my system.

have you tried downloading the free version of EZD2? It HSOULD pick up what you have.... only one or two toms though iir.

Isn't that only a 10 day demo?

Ok I think its best to assume my unfinished 2008 projects will use Slate if reactivated

Last time I checked it out, the free version was free, end of. Maybe they changed it?

Just checked and yes they DID do away with the permanently free version. Sadly I don`t have the download for EZD 1 or the freebie version of EZD 2 any more...

Updating cos I R dum

Instead of trying to re-use the old registration numbers I removed older registrations and re-registered plugins on the toontrack account (using the PC idenfifier plugins displayed) and turns out they still work. So in case someone stumbles here having problems with their old installation - EZ Drummer 1 still works on Windows 10(even if not officially), I was just having a dim moment

That even worked for me in Linux. The original EZ-Drummer was the first Windows plugin I installed in Linux, because I also have Superior Drummer 2. I figgered if I got the activation screwed up trying to install on Linux, I'd still have Superior 2 working in Windows.

What's reely cool though is that I can copy my .wine folder to a new install of Linux, even on a different machine and all my Windows plugins still work because the machine ID for Windows plugins is the .wine folder.
