    Hi, I'm going crazy. I have downloaded many versions of waves plugin including Ret's one but I can't install it. I have to use the plugins with logic but it says my license doesn't pass verification so it doesn't see them. I read that the most compatible ones are Ret's but that the AU reg tool might have problems (it actually finds me 0 plugins), could that be the problem?

    Can you point me to an instruction that match the m1 max? Thank you very much

    I'm not on silicon but I try to help you. I assume you are using the "Waves Complete v2022.09.12" where you can find these instructions to install it:

    1. Full cleanup of previous waves plugins

    2. Extract and install waves central.

    3. Perform an offline installation by choosing plugins you like to install or install all online

    4. Replace WavesLicenseEngine.bundle in Library>Application Support>Waves>Modules

    5. Replace "index.js" in
    /Library/Application Support/Waves/COSMOS/HTML/

    6. Replace "app.asar" in
    /Applications/Waves/COSMOS/COSMOS.app/Contents/Resources/

    7. Open terminal and paste following commands:
    xattr -cr /Library/Application\ Support/Waves/Modules/WavesLicenseEngine.bundle

    sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Library/Application\ Support/Waves/Modules/WavesLicenseEngine.bundle

    8. Run waves keygen on a windows pc or with crossover on M1 macs.

    9. Find your computer id on waves central licenses tab, enter exact id to keygen and generate license file.
    You can also find ID on Library>Application Support>Waves>Licenses>LastAcceptableMACAddress

    10. Copy license file to Library>Application Support>Waves>Licenses

    11. RESTART your mac FIRST and run waves au reg utility 14 and click let's go, it will identify your plugins.

    12. Open your daw it will automatically scan plugins, if not rescan plugins manually.

    Someone wrote this "AU reg tool v14 located in Applications/Waves/WaveShells V14 gave me 0 plugins found, but running Reg tool from WaveShells V13 worked like a charm."

    Apparently this method is tested on Monterey
