I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate with Cubase 8 Pro.

I've been using 9r21 for a while and decided to update it to the most recent ones, but no matter what I do, I'm still getting license errors...

I've done everything described in the txt, but still no luck.

I did get the 12 digit number for the comp, and I correctly generated the wlc file in the correct directory.

Still nothing.

I've erased my registry, cleaned every waves related folder and content, but still nothing...

Could anyone help me out with the steps?

 

doode, i've been using a usb stick, cause i didn't know that disabling all my network cards would let me out of the bus.

make sure you have at least wired card enabled, as i also like to let the machine offline, but that way at least it can grab your mac address.
Also you will need MSVCR110.dll / MSVCP110.dll - Microsoft Visual C + + 2012 (or else the waves component wont be able to run - shout to waves)

now if you run "show devices" application it will show you something, then just run the keygen and input the code there and enjoy, thanks r2r!

oh yeah, i'm stoned, and forgot: copy the file to Waves/Licenses folder at %programData% i think, it's same directory where you find the show me devices application.

 

Uh.. thanks for the reply, but I can't understand a word you're saying.

You said copy the file to Waves/Licences folder, right? But which files are you talking about?

 

when you run the ID finder it puts a txt file in C:/program data/waves /Licences that contains your ID number...copy that and put it into the key gen... the Key gen opens a window on where to save the licence... navigate to where that txt file is (default is C:/program data/waves /Licences) and click save
Note.
1. with this version you do not need or should you have waves central installed
2. program data is a hidden folder so make sure show hidden files & folders is active.

you should be ok then also make sure keygen is set to machine . small top right drop down window before generating the licence.
You should be good then

#### also run everything as admin when installing

 

are you using a 32bit daw in a 64bit windows? if yes then you need to download a hotfix

this one

i had the a problem with my license too, legit one even, installed that hotfix and problem was solved

 

There is no setting for "machine". It's either comp or key. Tried both. It specifies on the cmd anyway.
I'm starting to get suspicious of whether or not you've read my post properly. I've written the exact thing you described, and it still didn't work.

@statik

Is that something similar to JBridge?
Thanks, I'll try that out.

 

no it's a hotfix for windows, give it a shot it might work. i was able to find my plugins in my daw but when i tried to load them they couldnt find a license. this hotfix fixed that

 

Sorry by machine i meant Comp

 

some can't read, interpret text nor install software...

 

I just went with the version that has waves central, and it was by far the easiest installation of Waves I've ever had to go through.
Works perfectly on my Pro Tools 12 and Cubase 8 Pro.

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

can you please tell me how did you manage to install waves 9v30 so that pro tools 12 didnt ask for license ... i think i am gonna start cryin

 

If it ain't broke don't fix it

 

Hey man, i think still u dont have any help for this thing, try mine, ive done it and this will work for u charm,
turn on the network drives and internet on ur pc and try again!!

 

"Fuck me running"! Guys, it's so simple, come on!

1 - just grab the most recent release (Waves Complete v2016.08.31 Incl Patched and Keygen-R2R)
2 - it's simplified installation now, just run the installer. (Setup Waves Complete v2016.08.31.exe)
3 - Ok everything installed. Now pay attention:
3a - DISABLE your MAIN network card, i have 2 on my laptop, wireless and wired. since i use the wireless to access the internet and WE don't wan't that, right? (you have to let one available)
SO we let the other (in my case WIRED - enabled - still tho there's no ethernet cable plugged it's just the interface available at "Network and Sharing" on Control Panel - that way you have a mac adrress available to the keygen work)
3b - Now you grab that Mac address and use it to generate the keygen.
3c - Move that generated file to C:\Program Data\Waves Audio\ LICENSES\ (just create the folder)

if it didn't work this time, fuck knows
