   I try several times to install this bundle but still not working (M1 pro – Ventura 13.2). I don’t know what i do wrong.
   Pls, could someone help me with some question?:
   – do i install the drivers too?
   – do i use the login online method or the offline installer method?
   – in the keygen do i leave “comp” or switch to “key” before generating?
   Could someone who did it, write here the right steps and method?

   Thanks Admin for precious work!

    Trust me i did this 8 time and Finally got it working on M1 Macbook Pro, you need to remove everything use AppCleaner to remove all Waves file, then follow the “New Installation M1(ARM)” Also the “WavesLicenseEngine.bundle” file needs to add the extension .bundle or your going to have the error,

    1) Have you use all the COMMANDS? If yes, before or after restart?
    2) Have you install the all bundle or just the plugins you need?

    I need to install Cosmos to get it work (to have the folder COSMOS where replace the other patched files)?

    Logic 10.7.6 doesn’t show the AUs. Even if a use the final Commands nothing happens.

    I think the problems are here. What does it mean these incomprehensible steps:
    AFTER RESTART COMMANDS
    and
    FOR SPACE REPLACE
    and
    FOR KEYGEN WILL NEED A NUMBER, it can be viewed in the Waves Central / Licenses / Devices program, ONLY BEFORE THIS, DISCONNECT THE INTERNET AND SELECT OFFLINE INSTALLATION, then you can see the NUMBER of your MAC

    Guys now it works for me, the problem is the waveslicenseengine file. We need a waveslicenseengine.bundle and if u simply add the extension it doesn’t work. You have to search it in a telegram group called “vst,aulogicableton”. In my case only clarity vx pro doesn’t work

22. alonzome February 4, 2023

    @erby is right once you do that everything will work the waveslicenseengine file is missing .bundle extension

    @TRICKY Can I just choose Mercury Bundle to get everything I want?

    Reply ↓
33. reg February 7, 2023

    To install all plugins the fastest way is select mercury, abbey road collection, ssl collection. Even some instruments are not included in mercury, just search in the bundle to see which of them.

    Abbey road and harmony and others plugin that initially Logic show as “couldn’t be open”, need just to be “reset and rescan” in the plugin manager window.
    The only thing that I still trouble with is that the new Magma bb Tubes doesn’t show in all the daws.

    does this version have the new magma tubes channel strip?

36. reg February 8, 2023

    @Mal For the keygen I use the trial version of Parallels cause Crossover crushes when I try to open this kind of files and wine is still not compatible with m1.

    @Joe yes there is the magma but in my case Logic and Ableton doesn’t see it. Let me know if you can make it works, please

38. credman February 9, 2023

    I get as far as restarting and:
    OPEN AU Reg Utility FROM PROGRAM FOLDER/ WAVES/ WaveShells V14/

    Then AU Reg Utility closes after clicking ‘Lets Go’.

    Then I have no idea what this is:
    FOR SPACE REPLACE

    Tried this about 5 times, used the Telegram files also – there has to be a missing step somewhere!

    Reply ↓
39. sim February 11, 2023

    SPACE is a bad translation of Cosmos. So if you have installed Cosmos do that steps by replacing the two patched files.

    Be sure to use COMMANDS before you restart the pc. And only after that open AU Reg Utility.

40. credman February 12, 2023

    Incase it helps anybody else, I found my issue by using the commands from the Telegram text file and not the text on this page.

    ‘sudo codesign –force –deep –sign – /Library/Application\ Support/Waves/Modules/WavesLicenseEngine.bundle’

    Replacing with ^this^ successfully authorised my plugins. Only difference I can see is two ‘-‘ symbols before force/deep/sign instead of 1. Worked for me.
