If your plugins load in Demo mode (with periodic mutes), refer to this article to activate the license.
Step #1 – Verify the license is activated
First, check whether the relevant plugin or bundle license/s are activated on your computer or USB Flash Drive:
If the plugins are not activated, check whether they appear in the Not Activated tab. If they do, select the license/s and click ‘Activate’.
If the plugin licenses are not found in the Not Activated tab, check if they appear in a device in the Disconnected Devices tab. If that's the case, refer to this article.
Step #2 – Verify plugin software is correctly installed
Check whether the relevant plugin file/s are correctly installed on your computer. Go to:
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V13, (or whichever version is installed on your device, V13-V9)
Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Waves > Plug-Ins V13, (or whichever version is installed on your device, V13-V9)
The relevant plugin file will be named after the plugin, in this format: [PluginName].bundle. For example, the plugin file for Reel ADT will be named Reel ADT.bundle.
If the plugins you are looking for are not there, install the plugins by following the instructions in this link.
If the plugins are not activated, check whether they appear in the Not Activated tab. If they do, select the license/s and click ‘Activate’. If the plugin licenses are not found in the Not Activated tab, check if they appear in a device in the Disconnected Devices tab. If that's the case, refer to this article.
