4. Select the Connected Devices tab. Use the arrow on the right to expand the list.
5. Check if the missing plugin/s license are activated on this connected device.

If they are activated, proceed to Step #2 below.

If they are not, check if the missing plugin/s license are in the Not Activated tab. If they are not activated, select the license/s and click ‘Activate’.

If not in the Not Activated tab, check if the missing plugin license/s are in a device in the Disconnected Devices tab, if there, refer to this article to locate the device.

First, check whether the relevant plugin file/s are correctly installed on your computer:

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins 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.

3. Make sure that the WaveShell VST file is found and click Refresh.
4. After the scan is complete, verify that all your Waves plugins are check-marked.
5. Click OK.
