In the list of installed Apps I found all the Microsoft Visual C++ Distributables. I clicked my Windows “Start” button and then Settings and then Apps. I FIXED IT THIS WAY: Close Waves Central and Cubase.

I tried to inactivate and uninstall the Waves plugins and Waves Central and reinstall but like everyone else it did not work. The easy fix that worked for me: I had the same problem after updating Cubase to 11.0.40. I’ll just replace their buggy crap with Plugin Alliance stuff that actually works & dont squeeze you for paid compatibility updates a grand down the tubes on Waves plugs, unless i pay over £200 for WUP? no thanks! I have never known any plugin developer that charges for compatibility upgrades, and if they dont provide a fix, I will just uninstall their dated plugins forever & never buy anything from them again. Im starting to feel this is a Waves attempt to force people to update to 12. I have opened a ticket with Waves, telling them i had already tried a fresh installation of everything, including central, and got a half baked reply saying to delete files & reinstall V12 plugins. It appears that when Cubase tries scanning my VST3 plugins it hangs up on scanning the file Waveshell5 VST10.0 & gives me the waves license engine is missing error. That same day I updated to the latest version of Cubase Pro 11 & waves central, but these updates were done AFTER the problem started. It happened to me last week randomly in the morning the next day after everything was initialising perfectly previously. Delete the ‘Waves Audio’ folder.Ĭonduct a file search on your system for the term :“WaveShell” and delete any “WaveShell” file that you find. Delete the Waves folder inside ‘Roaming’.Ĭlick on Winkey+R and enter the text %programdata% - click Enter. Uninstall Waves Central itself using Control Panel->Programs and FeaturesĬlick on Winkey+R and enter the text %appdata% - click Enter. Once uninstall is finished - quit Central. Das ist jetzt unter „Settings“Ĭhoose all the products click ‘Uninstall’. Once the license is sent choose: Install->Uninstall Products (at the top). complete uninstall and reinstall waves plugins.

I am running out of ideas howto fix the problem. Processor Intel(R) Core™ i7-6700HQ CPU 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz Has anyone experienced this problem as well with Cubase 11 and Waves V12?

I have uninstalled all Waves plugins using the latest Waves Central 12.0.19 version reinstalled and activated using the procedure I found and pasted below.

No issues.Īccording to Waves V12 is compatible with Cubase 11 and 10.5 Supported Hosts | Support | Waves However the Waves V12 plugins I have purchased are visible, but do not load.
