I'm not sure about the splice app but if you have the softube central app on your computer and r2r versions of softube the central app will disable them, So that's probably the same with the Splice app.

You should be blocking your daw and your daw's plugin scanner app with a firewall. I use win defender to do this and nothing can call home. Splice is an app that needs to be online so it probably is that doing it.
for example FL Studio - Block the 1.FL Studio exe, 2.IL Plugin scanner and I block 3.IL Bridge just to be sure

If I want to try an R2R softube product I need to uninstall softube central first, and If I want to install a new paid legit softube product with the softube central app then I simply move any r2r softube plugins out of my vst folder where the softube app scans to check what you have.

Hope that helps someone, I was having the same problem for a while, very fustrating. I've actually bought all the softube plugins I actually use now. There have been some great deals on offer here on audiosex
