[METHOD]HOW TO INSTALL & USE DIMENSION PRO 1.5 VST ON OS X MOUNTAIN LION
Because OSX Lion & Mountain Lion does not support Rosetta,
so the Audio Unit of Cakewalk Instruments are unavailable to use.
But the VST version could still be available with Cubase 6.5 (both x86 and x64 mode, maybe available with Nuendo).
I firstly tested that Dimension LE 1.3 works well with Cubase 6.5 x64 (Dimension LE 1.3 to 1.5 combo upgrade program doesn't work),
but I met the "SERIAL DOES NOT ACCEPT" problem while installing Dimension Pro 1.5,
I checked all the conditions that remindered by the Cakewalk Knowledge Base,
and finally found that it concerned about privileges on OS X Mountain Lion, not Rosetta, not Languages.
So, use following ways to make Dimension Pro 1.5 VST available on OS X Mountain Lion:
1 Use Sudo command in Terminal and specify a password to the ROOT account.
2 Log off and log in the ROOT account.
3 Install Dimension Pro 1.5 ahead, and DO NOT LOG OFF.
4 Start Cubase 6.5, Insert a new Instrument Track,
specify the Cakewalk Dimension Pro 1.5, and use RegCode to Activate.
This step MUST AND COULD ONLY BE DONE by using ROOT accout.
5 You should also install a Dimension Pro 1.5 on Windows,
and copy the MULTISAMPLES folder into your Mac,
because the Dimension Pro OSX installer put nothing in that folder.
6 Log off the ROOT account and have fun.
(I found trouble trying to deal with the DSF Strings (as a gift of SONAR X2) Installation,
It works well with Dimension LE 1.3, but not well with Dimension Pro 1.5.
I don't have a clue how to deal with it.)
