    I am using the m1 Monterey Mac and installed it according to the waves v14 released by ret, but I encountered a licensing problem.
    So let me ask you a few questions.
    1. Open terminal and paste following commands:
    If you enter xattr -cr/Library/Application\Support/Waves/Modules/WavesLicenseEngine.bundle in the terminal, but there was no reaction. is it correct?
    2. When using keygen, there are comp and key, so should I choose key?
    3. Is it because I already have a license file in my external ssd? (Remove external ssd during installation)
    4. If i use run waves au utility 14, the plug-ins are not recognized at all. I think it's a license issue, but I don't know what the cause is
    5. When i connect a licensed external ssd, only the product is recognized. I think the license is twisted, can you solve it?

    I'm sorry it's too long. I'm leaving a message because I want to solve it. Thank you for reading it.

    I think you need a space in front of the word Support in your command or it is an invalid location, by default anyway. if you get this wrong, the other things will not work with the release you are trying to use. I am on older hardware but this may help. This command must work or you may as well start over. Terminal is not always Verbose and tells you what works or does not.

    open terminal.

    change directory here, such as:

    cd /Library/Application\ Support/Waves/Modules/

    ls

    you will see contents.

    Do it without, and you will get this:

    cd /Library/Application\Support/Waves/Modules/

    -bash: cd: /Library/ApplicationSupport/Waves/Modules/: No such file or directory

    Thank you for your reply. To be honest, I didn't understand the answer, but when I did my research, I checked that there were no files in /Library/Application\Support/Waves/Modules/,
    and when I copied the modules folder, it succeeded in recognizing it.
    Thank you so much for solving it with your answer. I hope you have a good day and a happy new year.

    Hello I don't know if you'll see this now but I am having an issue with the license too. Can you give me a guide on how you installed yours? And where you got yours. I got mine from g-meh, the rare didn't come with the AU stuff.
