    I have been using the old waves V10 for a very long time. I use it with StudioOne. I want to finally update to the latest possible version, but I have few questions:

    1-What version should I choose? Should I go for the V13 or if it's not working well with R2R then I don't mind choosing the last stable working version.

    2-Could someone please kindly tell me how to install it on windows 10? The only thing I've got is Waves.Complete.v2021.10.11.Emulator.Only-R2R file with a WavesLicenseEngine.dll file in it. It would be great if I could have an offline installation file to keep it. Can I get the needed files from waves site?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Waves Complete v2021.10.11 Emulator Only-R2R

    Download waves central from the waves website, install everything you want using waves central and then apply this R2R patch.

    Thank you very much Beat16. I did exactly as you said and got it finally working after lots of frustration. I will share this in case anyone else faces the same problem. After installing waves13 I could not get it to show and work under Studio-One. It would scan the folders but could not load the plugins. The solution was to go to "C:\Program Files\Waves Central\resources\res\external\Redistributables" folder, go through each folder and run all the Application files, one by one. Select the 'Repair' option to repair all of them. After this I got it working perfect :)

    Thank a lot for your help Beat16 :)
