I have no issue with the copy protection per se, all I ask is that it works. Which currently it doesn't, and not for the first time. It beggars belief that the have a mandatory system of updates that then updates everything to be non-functioning. I'm grateful to the workaround, but it really shouldn't be needed. If they find they have a duff version, just pull the damn thing to the last known working version.robotmonkey wrote:Even though I'm not fan of such protection schemes, I think Waves is definitely one of the best. I have had some minor quirks with first versions but nothing game braking. Pre Native Access NI software central probably was the best as during all these years I never had a single issue with it. But overall WC is definitely among the best as far these things are concerned. And unlike most other devs, Waves fixes their issues in couple of days rather than weeks or months.
Waves Central broken... again...

I was trying to install on a brand new machine, but it won't install, I just get "an error has occurred" after 10 seconds. I've been through every troubleshooting step, the licenses are on a USB stick which it can see fine. I went down to just one product, it wouldn't install that either.
Support ticket sent.
This is getting beyond a joke now. I've supported Waves among many detractors, but when after 3 years their licensing system simply does not work, you gotta start rethinking things.
EDIT - as a note to self as much as anything, the current broken version is 1.3.6.3 - as and when the version changes it might be worth trying again.

wish i was that thoughtful when i decided to buy Gold Edition for 150 usd. The hassle waves central gives, not worth it.Teksonik wrote:Makes my decision to never buy a Waves plugin seem like a pretty good one now.

It does?! You're literally the first person I've heard that makes this version work. What's your OS?ramseysounds wrote:Works fine here
EDIT - just checked, 1.3.6.3 still up on the website.

...and just to be clear, Waves Central is performing operations fully and normally? Just checking because Waves Central is independent of any DAW, so just checking you don't mean Waves plugins.ramseysounds wrote:Windows 10 here. Cubase 9 Pro

I know. Waves Central performs fine. Only this afternoon I bought and installed a vst and was up and running in 5 minutes.noiseboyuk wrote:...and just to be clear, Waves Central is performing operations fully and normally?

There is a known bug with Waves central and certain AMD videos cards whereby you have to disable the video card driver... set the resolution high enough to see the full wave central app .... authorizie the plugins.... renable your video card driver and restart your computer. It has been this way for at least a year.

My WC 1.3.5.5 works here. Curiously, it doesn't ask to update to install a plugin this time, though it has a button saying "updates available". Maybe because the plugins I'm installing are old.
I know this doesn't really answer your question on current ver., though.
