Common?
Not really
I am always offline on my PC and Waves have worked for me for ages
And no need for a usb stick
Just search for the C:/Programdata/Waves Audio folder (its the same as where you put yourt license file) click on the cmd file it's show your computer nr write that down as it is always the same and you will need it when you have to renew the licence file in the keygen.
Put that nr in the keygen and generate a license file
Then put that licence file in a subfolder i think is named "licence"? (i just turned of my PC) very simple..

 

Just follow my tip
Just search for the C:/Programdata/Waves Audio folder on your PC (its the same as where you put your gonna put your license file) You may need to change sop you can see hidden files which i think ANYONE who use cracked plugin must learn to do.
Then click on the cmd file that R2R nicely put in the folder with their installer
It's is gonna show your computer nr so no NEED for any USB bla bla..B.t.w turn of all external HD if you have them on as the cmd file will show every USB and external drive.
Now write the nr you see in the cmd file down on a textfile and SAVE it as it is always the same and you will need it when you have to renew the licence file in the keygen when updates is released.
Put that nr in the keygen and generate a license file
Then put that licence file in a subfolder in that C:/Programdata/Waves Audio folder i think is named "licence"? (i just turned of my PC so i can't see and i am off to work) now use waves plugins offline online (but as always block the hostfile) very simple..

CMD window tip:
Or you can right click the CMD window header and enable mark under the edit submenu. Then you can drag select it and Ctrl C/Ctrl V in and out of CMD windows.

 

Bump to ask...

Is it possible to install Waves R2R or VR release on a VPS? You can't disconnect net from VPS that you're connected to via Internet because then you lose the VPS. :P

Can you just block .exe using Windows Firewall?

 

This is awesome. I’m experiencing an issue and this helped me. Thank you guys.

 

Hey guys, Waves not working here.

"If you can't see any devices above, you can't activate Waves.
Enable your network cards or insert removable disks."

I can't see any devices when i execute the "show me devices.cmd"
I'm connected to the internet. What's going on?

i'm using Waves.Complete.v2017.11.28.Incl.Patched.and.Keygen.HAPPY.NEW.YEAR-R2R

PLEASE HELP!

 

Did it work? What did you do?
