    So i got an e mail from waves today.. it said.....

    Dear Waves User,

    If you’ve last downloaded the Waves Central application prior to April 11, 2016, please update your Waves Central by re-downloading the application here.

    Your old version of Waves Central (v1.0.3.3) will no longer work after April 14, 2016 due to new security updates introduced to the software.

    Best regards,
    The Waves Team

    Gee wonder what prompted this?

    While I assume this will break compatibility with the waves plugin latest release (on the sister site), has anyone actually updated the app and still run it with the patch successfully?

    interesting if it will still work after the 14th... may be they will introduce some additional stuff at their side, making the patch obsolete (possibly only for new installs and future plugin updates)

    Anyone managed to patch the updated version? I updated since old Waves Central no longer opens anyway, but for some weird reason once updated Waves Central won't open. Plugins load just fine, licensed.
