Hey guys, having issues installing the latest plugin alliance complete bundle, had the last version running fine. I've been told i had to delete older licenses within the application support folder within te library of my HD. That very folder is only full of PDF manuals for each plugin. I've still tried deleting that and replacing wth the new .vst and I still get prompted with activation. I really love these plugins and want to get them working. Any suggestions? Thanks guys!!

 

Did you used the keygen for the activation?

 

The key gen is .exe I'm on Mac.. Do I need to get the adapter to run the exe?

 

I did try with the adapter(Keygen Runner) with no luck. You will need a pc with windows to use the keygen.Luckily, I do have windows pc.

As for your other question about deleting the older license key,there are 4 library folders in your Mac.There's a System library Folder, HD library Folder, User library Folder and Shared Library Folder.
The Key for plugin Alliance will be located at Users/Your Account name/library/Application Support/Plugin Alliance.

You will only find the key there with no other files.

I hope this will help you

 

well i was able to open the .exe with wine. Now its asking me for a device id to generate the key. where do i get this device id?

Well, i still went to try and find the license in user/library/application support but after that i dont see a folder with plugin alliance

 

Go to any DAW that you have and open an instance of a plugin from Plugin alliance. You will be asked to activate. Choose off line Activation, then you will see the device ID.

I wish I could help you about the old license key but that's all I know. I apologize to you my friend

 

Weird, it said it generate a .license and i saved it on my desktop, but nothing appears to be there. i try again and its asked me if i wanted to replace the file. i cant find it

AHH I GOT IT!!!! well it was a matter of finding that license within Wines program directory itself. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

 

Same thing happened to me that's why I told you that you will need a pc. Anyways if you can't generate one. PM with you device id and will generate a license key for you. It will be my pleasure to help you.

 

the license was on the desktop generated by wine that i had to find within wines directory!

Thanks for the offer to help via PM tho, im sure that would have done the trick!

 

You are very welcome my friend

 

Another success story.

 

Cheers fellas, im about to crack one open in celebration!

 

guys do your mpressor sc plugin works for sidechain??? here it never worked, i dont know if its a bad crack or its Plugin Alliance

 

PLM
Logic Pro X and Live 9 here and it works great. Which DAW you trying to use it in? SC signal routed correctly? External SC button on mpressor engaged?

(btw what a great tool mpressor. Fastest compressor ever.)

 

A bit off topic for here don't you think , But I think I answered you in the messages on 'that other website'.
In the VST2 version of mpressor-sc, you get _4_ channels in. 1+2 is your normal input, 3+4 is your sidechannel input.
So make a send from your sidechain to channels 3+4 of the mpressor-sc plugin.

VST2 doesn't have any 'official sidechaining' method, so plugins usually just use channels 3+4.

The VST3 version should support official sidechaining if your DAW supports that.

Tested it both (VST2 in Reaper, VST3 in Studio1) and works as advertised.

 

also when you generate a keyfile save it to a flash drive, and it will show up instantly. rather then Desktop wich doesn't appear on Mac

 

Well you can use Crossover, Macindows or Keygen Runner to use Windows keygens.
The trick is to save the file on a spot on your MAC and then pick up the license file from there. Personally I prefer cracked software because you don't need any keygen etc…

Keygens are the most feared "weapon" by software developers because they allow people to get the updated versions - if they don't blacklist or change something in the software code.

 

yes i use studio one, send the signal to the compressor, i engage sc button of the plug, plus the sidechain option from studio one and it just does not work

PS: its not the fastest but is surely one of the greatest ive ever used, the fastest in my opinion is the FET from Softube winch I think its the greatest compressor ever created in a vst plugin form

PPS: wish AiR was around

sorry did not visited the topic to see your reply, but in studio one is not possible the to use it!

 

can you later move the license files? (generally for all apps, like ik multimedia etc…) or will it always look for it in the same place. I have populated my home folder with licenses, and would like to tidy up, thanks! (just not sure if the plugs look for it every time they instantiate or not)

 

Once a PA plugin read the license file and is authorized
you can throw it away, since the plug-in will store a copy somewhere, frequently as a hidden file.
This is the case for PA, other devs plug-ins require the license
to be in plug-in folder or a specific folder in your user directory.
So feel free to trash PA license after using it
