Recently updated my M1 mini to Sonoma and the Waves plugins completely disappeared from Pro Tools. I completely removed them 3 times and attempted 3 installs from different releases but they always show up as demo. Has anyone successfully gotten any iteration of Waves to install on an M1 running Sonoma with Pro Tools 24 (non-rosetta)?

 

i did facing the same thing previously on my Sonoma M1pro... im not sure which release u are using, like mine using RET one (Waves.Complete.v2024.06.24.WIN.MAC.Patched.and.KG.Only-RET)

1st
Codesign the patched WavesLicenseEngine.bundle if it's required.

2nd
The culprit is there is multiple license in the license folder (Library>Application Support>Waves>Licenses).. u need to remove it all (.wle) and only leave the one that u generate.. sometime when waves did an update, it will marked ur previous/working license with .out at the end, and it will generate a new one. remove the new one and rename the .out without the .out
