Hi, all! So I decided to try getting NI Massive today, and was using the r2r release. Smooth sailing until I run the keygen and... yeah. Says that it can't find a file.

Windows Antivirus also goes off around here. I did what I was supposed to... any help?

 

Scene releases and A/V (or system updaters, or software "protection" services, etc...) do not mix. Lose the A/V and disconnect the internet on any machine where you run scene-ware. Then you won't need garbage-ware like A/V, Firewalls, OS updaters, etc, etc... If not, then you're stuck with the "legit" crap and you will have to deal with stupid iLOK's and copy protection schemes and be forced to maintain an internet connection.
A word on "legit" ware... Even though you think you're legit those POS "legit" apps are sending telemetry to and from who knows where about who knows what. So legit-ware is IMO is way less secure than their scene released counterparts. Some scene-ware will attempt to "phone-home" as well even though they are cracked to allow the code to run locally. Sure you can block them with firewalls but running a firewall saps precious system resources. So my suggestion to remove the internet connection from those machines is really the best solution.
