    Gross Beat in VST (for Macs) or AU doesn't exist. Only old VST version for Windows and FL internal plugin.

    I don't know about mac but I think there is even an old R2R release with gross beat and I think it was working. And of course it's possible to make a plugin work with another DAW you just have to have the skills to do it. The question is if it is worth the effort you have to put in to find a solution. Saying it's not possible is the same thing as saying you can't get protected software working without paying for it.
