Licensing and installation instructions

Waves
Step 06
Waves Central
A window with an overview of the Waves plug-
ins you have purchased and the place where the
corresponding licence will open when you select
“Install Products” on the right side and the “My
Products” rider.
Your licence will first always be saved to the “Li-
cence Cloud”, i.e. your Waves customer account.
Generally, you can use the Waves plug-ins only
once they have been installed on your compu-
ter AND the licence has been activated for your
computer by Waves Central.
Step 07
You can tell this from the two green check
marks in the “Activated” and “Installed”
columns.
The “All Products” rider will show you an over-
view of all Waves software products.
If you were to install a plug in without also
transferring the corresponding licence to your
computer, the plug-in would NOT be shown in
your recording software.
Step 08
My Licences
You’ll find an overview of your licences in the
second menu item under “Licences”. There,
you can choose among “My Licence Cloud” and
“Connected Devices” (usually your computer).
At the moment (June 2021), you can manage
the three most recent versions 10, 11 and 12
with Waves Central. For older versions, suitable
“Legacy Installers” are available for download on
the website.
By the way: Waves 10 will only run on Windows 10 and ma-
cOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra), respectively With a license for
Waves Version 12, however, you can also install the older
version 10, which can also run on Windows Version 7 and
macOS
