Hello all,

I'm trying to install Overloud on my Mac, but it only gives me a 10 minutes trial...


Copy *.ol2 to:
"GEM Series : ~/Library/Application Support/Overloud/GEMS/
REmatrix : ~/Library/Application Support/Overloud/REmatrix/
TH3 : ~/Library/Application Support/Overloud/TH3/
TH-U : ~/Library/Application Support/Overloud/TH-U/"

Problem might be, that I only see the "THU" directory - not the other ones.
Does anybody have a solution ?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi Big Al,

I'm having the same problem. Did you fix it or manage to install it in any other way?

Thanks!

 

License location is ok. if you don't have specific folder for product you can create one. Check the license generation process. be sure to use your Mac's mac address in right format and block the domain with hosts.

 

it's not a problem.

- th3 - previous generation of th-u software.
- rematrix - separate software
- gem series - fx plugins (vst, au, aax)

you can't see these folders if these software wasn't installed at your computer.

you must copy generated licenses to:

Code:

/Library/Application Support/Overloud/TH-U
/Users/USERS_NICKNAME/Library/Application Support/Overloud/TH-U

also you need to repair permissions for generated license file before copying it to that folders.

and block internet connection for standalone app and your daw!

 

Hi there,
Am with the same problem.
- Blocked the internet connection to overloud.com with little snitch
- Installed
- Keygened and placed the file in the indicated folder.
When I run the plug, I only have access to 10min demo.

Any help please ???

 

EQP v1.0.3 is what you are trying to install? Was it working before and time bombed, or did it never work ?
What MacOS and what CPU type?

Also, when you see "the indicated folder" is listed as ~/Library/Application Support/Overloud/
That means it is your user folder. Maybe you put the file in the wrong location.

Did you codesign it already? in Terminal, this can codesign every plugin on the machine all at once. It takes a little while, just let it do it's thing. You do still need to have xcode installed first.


cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/

find . -name "*.bundle" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.VST" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.vst3" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.component" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.dpm" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.bundle" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.VST" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.vst3" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.component" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.dpm" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;

 

Thxxx a lot for your answer.
- Am on Catalina, Intel
- I try to install EPQ 1.0.3 (and others available on sister site)
- None R2R worked

- I spent hours trying to find Xcode, as last version doesnt work on catalina can I codesign directly in terminal ?
- Which library is the good one ? I tried to place the generated file in both, but it didnt work for now..
AA are easier to install )

Get the Codesigner app from Sister Site. But I think you still need Xcode installed.


To install Xcode,
Apple is kind enough to provide a command that either installs CLI tools or show the path of the CLI installed.

1. Open a Terminal by pressing command+spacebar and typing “T” to select Terminal.
2. In a Terminal Shell Window, type any of the commands above or this command: xcode-select --install

Block Overloud website via hosts file, not firewall. Leave it blocked in your firewall too, but in Terminal again,

issue command: sudo nano /etc/hosts. It will ask you for your password and then will open Nano, which is a text editor. Add an entry 0.0.0.0 www.overloud.com and any others. It will block any traffic from your computer outbound to the websites you add there.

It should look like this:

# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
0.0.0.0 www.overloud.com. or whatever their sites are.

Do Control+O key command when you are done to "write out" your changes. ie save the hosts file.


Codesign the plugin with the commands I posted earlier, or use the Codesigner app to do it. You might want to also codesign the license file you moved to the mentioned folder like ~/Library/Application Support/Overloud/.

If still not fixed; Google Permissions Reset2 or BatChmod. Download and run either of them to reset permissions on the plugin, and on the ol2 file, so that the plugin has permissions to read that file.

I do not use Overloud plugins. These are the steps I would take trying to get one to work correctly. Or any other plugins I was trying to install.

You should also firewall your DAW to block it, and any Overloud files and folders in /Applications folder too. Search on here for Overloud thread with lots of replies. People have had some problems with these in the past.
