Installation :
Install Waves Central. Launch it, select Offline Installer, find the Waves folder (in 1-Installer), and select either partial or Waves Ultimate.
After installation, apply the Waves Ultimate 2025.3 patch.exe.
P.S. Sometimes, when installing Waves Central, the system says the product is installed—ignore it, everything works fine.
