    I have installed all 8 discs of Team R2Rs Omnisphere. I followed this guide step by step.

    When I open Omnisphere I copy the response code and it tells me to close out that instance of Omnisphere and open another one. When I do, I get the same authorization screen.

    Here is some info I've seen people give in other threads (although none of the responses have worked for me)
    - I have 8 discs total
    - The first disc is labeled _Spectrasonics Omnisphere2d1
    - I have 4 folders: Step 1 - Installer, Step 2 - Data Updater, Step 3 - For Trilian Users, Step 4 - For Moog Tribute Users (I didn't install these as I don't have them.)
    - I have patched both the 32 bit and 64 bit dll files in the ProgramData folder with success
    - I have ran the keygen as an administrator
    - I have ran my DAW as an administrator while entering the response code

    Everything is fine on my side (Omnisphere 2), except the infected keygen that was with it. Didn't find one with my Google searches.

    Anyone can help? Thanks!

    Hi Guys,

    Feeling noobish at the moment.

    Yesterday I paid for Omnisphere 2. After payment was received, they sent me an email with the link to the download manager. However, I am not able to open the download manager. It times out after 15 secs. The error message that pops up is: "Host_WindowLoadTimeout".

    I have emailed Specatronics but no response yet.

    If I d/c from the intrernet, the download manager does open but then it obviously it cannot download the content.

    Is this most likely an issue from their side or is there an additional step I have to undertake?

    cheers
    Mic

    @Daddycool From memory, as well as the ISO, there should be an "install" file that u unzip with all the PC/Mac installers & detailed instructions. Despite docs saying "don't copy files, use installer" u can actually just copy files, not use installer!

    They shouldn't b there ^! Sounds like u installed everyhing 2 STEAM dir? If the .dll / whatev are there, try copying the patched files (in this folder) 2 ur VST / (or whatev) plugin dir? Sounds liek auth issues are becoz ur tryn 2 auth the legit plugin, in the default (DAW) plugin location.

    Prolly an issue w/ STEAM folder. If ur on PC, make sure the shortcut (C:\Programdata\Spectrasonics) is actually pointing 2 location of ur STEAM folder, if u didn't install in default location / moved it. Just right-click & properties > change target. U will have 2 re-auth =(

    I have the exact same issue as hdxmula for ABLETON. I read the readme file and it mentioned use another host. So I still had a studio one license from 2013 and tried omnisphere on there and bam, it works on Studio one. Since I don't want to use S1 I tried again and again to get it working on Ableton.
    Heres what I did:
    I installed the 64bit only. Once I got to the keygen to patch the .dll, it wouldn't let me patch my VST folder, but I patched the Program Data folder (both .dlls). Patch fails now but I assumed it was because I already patched it.
    Anyways it works on S1 but not Ableton. I am just getting the authorization screen over and over. It also used to crash Ableton but now it doesn't crash it but I'm still stuck in the authorization loop.

    Anyone have a clue whats going on?

    UPDATE:
    Apparently Omnisphere 64 bit has an issue with Ableton. I used Jbridge for the 32 bit vst and its working fine.

    Hi.
    Recently I've applied Omnisphere 2.3.0h Software Update & Omnisphere Patches 2.3.0c update.
    I'm on Win 10/64 bit Cubase 8.5.
    I'm getting an issue after update: there's no challenge serial , but instead: " error XXXXX" in challenge box.
    I tried to manually change the dlls with previous (working), without results, error remains.
    Can you help me, please?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I saw SillySausage's numbers of Omnisphere diagnostics and this had me thinking because I have less than his and I just did a fresh Omnisphere 2 installation and still I have less.
    SillySausage:
    number of factory soundsources = 5,305
    total size of factory soundsource DBs = 59,859,443,203
    number of factory patches = 9,956
    total size of factory patch DBs = 522,307,751

    Mine are:
    number of factory soundsources = 5,305
    total size of factory soundsource DBs = 59,857,926,155
    number of factory patches = 8,507
    total size of factory patch DBs = 279,516,405

    The way I installed was
    Trillian 1.4.6d already installed way back.
    Mount Spectrasonics Omnisphere.iso and
    Step 1 - Run Installer and mount rest of ISOS
    Step 2 - Then install Data Updater, Omnisphere_Patch_Library_Update_2_3_0c then Omnisphere_Software_Update_Win_2_3_0h, and then VIP_Patch_Library_Update_1_3_1
    Step 3 - Install Bob Moog Library
    Step 4 - Install Bob Moog Tribute Library Update

    Any ideas why I have so much less? Maybe they changed something since the latest patches changed these numbers.
    Guys can you share your numbers diagnostics after applying the latest patches?

    Hi.
    Maybe a solution for the "challenge error" issue (Windows 10 users) ... I found this thing on the Spectrasonics knowledgebase:

    * Open C:\ProgramData\ (NOTE: ProgramData is hidden by default, use Show Hidden Files to see it)
    * Right-Click on the Spectrasonics folder and select Properties
    * In Spectrasonics Properties select the Security tab, then the Edit button. From the Permissions for Spectrasonics window that opens, check Allow next to "Full Control" and "Modify" for ALL of your Group and User Names.
    * Press Apply and close Permissions
    * Restart your PC, load the Spectrasonics instrument(s) in your host and authorize them again.

    ... tonight I will verify if it works!

    Hey guys, i have a problem when trying to install it, i tried running the (proper) installer with admin rights, even in compatibility mode but the window freezes everytime at about 3% and there's nothing i can do about it, i also tried leaving it like that all night hoping it would install and unfreeze itself afterwards but didn't happen.

    By the way i moved the steam folder (and it's contents) which was in ProgramData/Spectrasonics and placed it in C/ProgramFiles/Spectrasonics a while back, could that be the reason? cause the default location to install is the one in program data but i choose the other in program files when the installer asks me for the STEAM folder.[​IMG]

    Sounds like it could be a permissions prob. I found that the latest installer can install things in weird directories w/ win10. Also, try moving ur STEAM folder back & try again? Installer's prolly looking for smthn that's not there?

    Try running the separate omnisphere data installer thing, which u might need to dl / redl? It might be a separate file, so check again where u dl it from? Should have Omni software update win, Omni software update mac, Soundsource lib update & R2R folders?

    Hey. the instructions were really helpful, thanks a lot. I managed to get Omnisphere running in Ableton, but FL studio 12 has been a nightmare. Should I reapply the patch? Cause whenever I do it says "patch failed". But for it to be working in Ableton there must be some hope. Any ideas?
