Hello,

I downloaded Minimal.Audio.All.Access.2025.12.Incl.Keygen-MOCHA

Then I went to my Windows machine to execute the keygen. I copied all of the licenses that were generated into the hidden files in C:\ProgramData\Minimal

I then registered myself and downloaded all of the installers at https://www.minimal.audio/account/products/software

I blocked the websites (using terminal and sudo nano /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 api.minimalplugins.com

127.0.0.1 api.minimal.audio

127.0.0.1 graphql.minimalplugins.com

127.0.0.1 graphql.minimal.audio

127.0.0.1 raphql.minimal.audio

127.0.0.1 events.minimalplugins.com

127.0.0.1 events.minimal.audio

0.0.0.0 api.minimalplugins.com

0.0.0.0 api.minimal.audio

0.0.0.0 graphql.minimalplugins.com

0.0.0.0 graphql.minimal.audio

0.0.0.0 raphql.minimal.audio

0.0.0.0 events.minimalplugins.com

0.0.0.0 events.minimal.audio

Then I installed the 'all access' installation file.

Then I put the licenses in all of their own folders on my Mac Studio M4 so it looks like this:
Library/Application Support/Minimal/Ripple Phaser (as an example)

I opened Ableton and every plugin opens with the activation message. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me with this?

I am on Tahoe 26.0.1

 

wrong post

 

I am sorry, where do I have to post my question then or what did I do wrong?

You are attempting to block the plugins from phoning home via the 'hosts' file, but what the NFO actually says is to block your DAW via a firewall, or run your Mac offline.

If you need a generic firewall for Mac, I recommend you start with LuLu by Objective-See. It's free.
