    After getting some new plugins from PA the cracked plugins sadly don't work anymore. I was looking here on the forum for some solutions and found that there is one for Windows users. Now the main question came up how does one set up both cracked and legal PA plugins on macOS?

    Who has figured it out or isn't there a solution for this?

    Get a USB and add it as a device on the PA site. Install the legit licenses to it. It's not the easiest to figure out, but you'll do fine. You need the USB whenever using legit plugs. Not all USB devices work.
    It may be possible to activate the R2R to USB, I wouldn't know.

    Awesome thanks for the info, will look it up on their website how to add a USB. If you use this method can you run the cracked and legit plugins simultaneously?

    let me just add, same method applies to using genuine PA plugins from multiple accounts - only one account/activation can be used on a computer, all others must be USB stick based :)

    could you then have multiple files on a USB stick?

    One activation file = one PA account = one USB device.

    You can't have multiples on the same device.

    You can partition the USB flash drive and use it that way.

    Interesting. The last Trazor Lindell SBC release worked just fine along with my original PA plugins.

    Different method, he removes the requirement for license files completely.

    Anyone fill me in on why this is the case, Windows see nearly all the PA cracks and Mac has PA crumbs??

    R2R doesnt want to put the effort in to crack it for the Mac people. Asfar as I know they dont share how they do it with the Mac crackers sadly because that would make everything so much easier

    I really doubt this. Some things are a lot of manual work, even when you know how to do them. Even if you build tools to automate some of the process. That bundle has to be a ton of work, and it's not the result of some magic zero day exploit. Or maybe they would share that kind of information. They often tell developers what to fix right in their nfo files. No-one wants to hear "yes, we really did do all that work."
