    I'm using a VR crack. W16.25.08.06.W Waves.Ultimate.2025.3.Patch
    works great I only install what I want and I can install in a second moment any other.
    It might be only for pc...

    Update: I got the waves ultimate 2025.3.dmg to work. Next, restarted and then once back, ran the waves AU reg utility. Got the numbers other than 0 ...

    but then came the next issue:

    Dear Logic Pro user,

    you have 696 Audio Unit(s) enabled which did not pass the Apple AU validation. This may cause problems and can even crash Logic Pro or lead to data loss! Please check with the manufacturer(s) for updated versions. We recommend disabling these plug-ins in the Plug-In Manager.


    Oh mahn!

    Update:

    Finally! Got everything to work. In the Plug-in manager, i selected the waves plugins that crashed validation - reset & rescan selection (did around 10-20 plugins at a time. Now all are successfully validated )

    i kept the system settings - privacy & security page open

    then i clicked on the waves ultimate 2025.3.dmg file. As usual it stopped midway and threw the error. Got a notification to allow this .dmg to make changes. So i allowed it. Then ran the .dmg again - it worked. Then restarted the mac

    I followed these steps. Remember to give permissions for the patcher. Also dont forget to restart after installing the patcher.
