    I installed Omnisphere... with the mac v2.0.3d (or whatever the very first hexwars version is)... and it worked just like it was supposed to.

    But I tried to install an update (v2.3.2h) and when I do the challenge/response thing with hex keygen, the Omnishere never authorizes... I tried batchmodding the vst/au but: 1) it already comes up with the appropriate permissions checked off, and 2) still doesn't work... Omnisphere does not authorize.

    I read on latest mac release about "batchmodding" and then using some rsr keygen.

    No idea what that is or where to find it.

    Any tips?

    Okay... so I see there was a different keygen that came out with v2.3.2f release.

    After dicking with that and batchmod... AND after NOT generating the response code... AND ONLY patching... I got the vst to work!!


    F8CK YEAH!!!!

    BUT.... my AU, when I drag it into a midi-track... it does not open?.. I use Ableton. I drag the au version of omnisphere into a midi track... the little square fx/instrument "thing" shows up in the bottom left, but the GUI never pops up... no matter what. The AU omnisphere does not open.

    Any one know about this?

    I use Ableton on Mac too but I always use the VST, not the AU. Anyway I was having the same problem as your OP so thank you because the info in this post helped me get past it.

    I typed up the steps I took to get it working, just in case someone else has this problem and finds this post.
    * Install Software Update v2.2.0e
    * Install Software Update v2.2.0g
    * Install Patch Library Update v2.3.0c
    * Install Software Update v2.3.0h
    * Install Software Update v2.3.1
    * Install v2.0.1c Soundsource Library Update (came with the v2.3.1 software update)
    * Install Software Update v2.3.2h
    * Navigate to “Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\VST” and copy “Omnisphere.vst” to the desktop. Then navigate to “Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components” and copy “Omnisphere.component” to the desktop.
    * Then launch “BatChmod”, browse to “Omnisphere.vst” on the desktop, change the owner to your username, change the group to “wheel” and check all the R-W-X boxes, check the “Change ownership and privileges” box, then click Apply. Then browse to “Omnisphere.component” on the desktop and do the same. Note: I'm not sure if the BatChmod part is necessary or not but I did it anyway.
    * Copy the VST and Component files back to their folders and click “Replace” to overwrite the old VST and Component files.
    * Launch the ”R2R KeygenSpectrasonics_2048_KeyGen.exe” file which comes with the Omnisphere v2.3.2f update. I use KeyGen APP to run the keygen. Then click the “Patch” button in the keygen app and browse to “Volumes\Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\VST\Omnisphere.vst\Contents\MacOS\Omnisphere” (the R2R keygen browses into the VST file). The keygen should say “Patched Successfully”. Then click “Patch” again and navigate to the AU file (Components\Omnisphere.component\Contents\MacO\Omnisphere)
    * Open your DAW and launch Omnisphere

    do not know... all I know is that, my problem was that the second to last update had a new keygen in it.

    So that's why I was confused as to why everyone is telling me to "patch" the au/vst... since the first keygen did not have a "patch" button or function, etc...

    Got you and that's weird the initial one i have has a patch button.. and what it has lead me to believe ( figuring it out now) that you don't have to use a new patch either at all or until it moves up like.. i.e 2.2.0 then patch when you at 2.3.0 then patch 2.4.0 etc

    Are these steps taken immediately after step-1 "installer" and step-2 "Data Updater" of installing Omnisphere 2.0.3d?
