Hello thirdeyebling and welcome to the forum.

I think you'll need to give us a bit more info to go on, otherwise we'll be shooting in the dark.

What platform/OS? (Win/Mac)
What software are you trying to download?
How big is your drive and what space do you have left on it?

Hmm, ok. Well, the 223GB probably isn't big enough as it may well be calculating the amount needed for download and then installation.

As for the nearly 3TB, that's a bit weird as that is definitely enough.

As this is a user-to-user forum and not direct to IKM support, in case no one else chimes in here with advice or a solution the best thing to do is check the FAQs, via https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-su ... ck=QUICKSW

If these do not resolve the issue, there is a link to the Technical Support form, for direct help from Official IK Support. They endeavour to reply within 2 working days, but obviously considering the current situation things may take longer than usual.

And, to help others who run into a similar problem, please let us know what you did to resolve the issues, but without directly quoting any correspondence from official support.

Weird, for some strange reason, it finally worked today! I did nothing different, so I’m not sure! Thank you for your help, though!
