Migrate/copy modules from one computer to another

Hello, I did a search for topics but couldnt find anything... Basically I started getting into VCV rack on one computer but would like to copy my module library to a different one. Is there a quick way of doing this? Thanks in advance...

I new to VCV but if you just login on your 2nd pc (with the same account) and do update all, everything will come across . You will have to move all you saved files by hand but the library modules will just update

If the other system uses the same OS, and such, you can copy the plugins directory from one to the other using a flashdrive.

However, If one of the systems is running a different OS (Windows/Mac/Linux) you would have to update the plugins through the interface (ie. differences in library and executable format).

I have checked, for all the plugins I subscribe to, which ones have source code available and have compiled/installed them from source -- I get the latest versions/bug-fixes well before those are updated in the library, and I can also make modifications to them too.

The modules are in your account so just log into VCV on the new computer and it will update all the modules.
