Having major issues installing.
Can someone please help?

New to mac btw

 

Nobody can help you if you don't post the details. What major issues do you have?

 

Well, 2 problems.
1 :
Either it just gets a error when installing.

2 :
When I finally got past the installer.
The plugins didn't show up in Logic Pro x

 

We don't know what error it gets and can't help you unless you tell us. It could get a million of different errors for a million of reasons

Probably due to AU verification. Try again after restarting your Mac to make sure it has realized there are new plugins. If not, there also was a tool called Waves AU Registration Utility, or something of the sort. Search it with Spotlight and see if it helps after a restart.

 

I've successfully installed Waves11 12.5.20 on Mojave 10.14.6 unsupported Mac...
Waves Central gave an error at the end of the installation of plugins, but i ignored it, applied license file and everything worked.
In Mojave I've noticed that sometimes LPX doesn't see the new plugins unless you restart macOs.

 

Perhaps you mean "OSX Validate All AUs" (can't provide link).
Sometimes in the past one had to use an older "Au validation tool" to validate certain plugins (i've used the one from Yosemite in El Capitan) but that's not the case IMO.

 

That might be due to the missing the registration.


For the install of waves complete v11 follow this:
1 Download and install waves central v11 from the official website.
2 Create an account on waves official website and use the new account to log in waves central.
3 Inside waves central go to install products and select all the plugins you need (this will take time depending on your internet and your mac).
4 Restart the computer once finished.
5 Don't open your DAW yet and go to the patch folder available in some releases and install the WavesLicenseEngine.bundle.exe (If you don't have it PM me i can send it to you via email).
6 Open your DAW and voilà you should have them all registered and ready to go.
In conclusion you don't need the folder for v11 offline installer you just need to install them all from the waves central.

Tested on: Mojave 10.14 / Catalina 10.15 /High sierra 10.13/Sierra 10.12 | Logic/FL Studio.

Nope, I meant this one:

 

Since High Sierra you need to Log Out of macOS and back in before some new plugins will be recognized by the system.

But that usually doesn't affect Waves Plugins. Runnig AU Reg Utilities should fix this (unless the installation is faulty, which it probably is becuase there was an error message you ignored!)
