Hey there, new member here. I recently installed Cubase Elements 10.5 from a download purchased online on my Windows 10 desktop. I installed a cracked version of Addictive Drums 1.5 and it worked at first, but later I couldn’t access it because the edit instrument icon was grayed out. I reinstalled AD and again it worked but the same problem resurfaced. I went so far as to block Cubase from the internet via the Windows firewall, but I don’t believe it worked since Cubase still seemed to connect. I have since taken the whole computer offline to see if that works. Is it necessary to run Cubase offline to make the cracked plugins work? TIA
