Edit: Please move thread. Thank you.
Seriously... WTF! I'm done. Spent way too long trying to install my v9 plugins on my new build. Why they don't just include them in the latest Central I don't know.
I understand they need strict systems for copy protection but this is clearly to push WUP! I'm kissing my Strindberg dongle right now.

Yeah, the impression I'm left with is that they make it a mess to force people to pay for WUP. It's certainly either that, or they are an incredibly incompetent bunch of morons.

It's actually pretty easy if you know how: https://www.waves.com/support/how-to-in ... aves-v9-92mitchiemasha wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 9:44 am Seriously... WTF! I'm done.

Being frustrated is no excuse for not using the search function. 
How about you complain in the existing Waves V10 topic instead of cluttering up the forum with yet another pointless rant? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=506272

Yes, it is pretty easy when you know how... In the legacy installer, one must simply select the waves folder, then open it via the 'Select Folder' button at the bottom, not navigate through the file system looking for installers. It would help if this was a different icon.

FWIW, i'm totally with you. It probably would be pretty easy for Waves to provide older products in Waves Central. Actually, i was under the impression i couldn't install them at all anymore, at first. Had to Google for a while to find the solution.

Updated to Mojave, broke all my cheaply bought Waves.
Tried for a couple of hours with no luck.
Gave up, trashed my Waves plugins. Couldn't be arsed with their top-notch support as the plugs are outa WUP.
Feels fine, man.
(No, didn't search , seemed a good opportunity to move on.)

Waves Central is a complete mess. Spent days getting it to work on my old computer and now after upgrading to a new computer i'm back to square one. Sorry, I just can't be bothered to do it all again...

Am I the only one who has never had a problem with Waves?

This is actually one of the things that blows my mind. Why the hell have a software manager if it can't manage software properly.
Though, their instructions are pretty clear how to use V9 and V10 concurrently. Still I think it could have handled much better. Especially as the V10 did not bring anything to table and was a pointless upgrade.

I just didn't upgrade my V9 plugs. So I'm running V9 and V10. No big deal. Everything still works.robotmonkey wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 12:52 pm This is actually one of the things that blows my mind. Why the hell have a software manager if it can't manage software properly.

My deal with Waves and all their Waves Central and Waveshells stuff etc for me has always been the same: Once it's set up and working perfectly, I try not to touch it for as long as possible.
