Waves Central - new one-interface install and register [problem solved]

Anyone else seen this? - Waves sent me an email for their new "Waves Central" - a one-step installation and license management interface.

I've just got my Waves plugins working on JP using the old system, and I daren't touch it until I have to (although I suppose installing this new interface wouldn't hurt). If anyone tries this, let us know

I installed waves central without problems. If you already have waves plugins on a USB stick as I do; it will install your new version to that stick automatically. I didn't have to mess with the manage license's tab.                    Use the install tab (middle tab) to reinstall your existing plugins. The easy install tab is for installing new plugins. I then did a normal VST scan in Sonar without re-setting the scan in scan options & it found all my plugins.

Rickidoo,
Same thing here this past week. My solution...
Move all my licenses to the cloud, uninstall ALL waves, reinstall with the new Waves Central, move licenses back to computer. Re-set and re-scan VSTs. Everything working fine again.
HTH
 

Two days ago I installed Waves Central and took the "Easy Install and Activate" route. Waves Central claims to have successfully undertaken the process.  However, when I scan VSTs, the scan gets as far as Scanning $RU06D2N.vst3. A diaglogue box launches asking for the directory where Waves 9.3 plugins are installed. So I navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves, but this doesn't satisfy the process and asks again. Now when I try to load projects which include Waves plugins, the plugins are not present (obviously). I've filled in the Waves online fault report and support request, but no reply yet (after two days).

well, I was able to get it working but it was a friggin slugfest.  I'm a programmer in my day job and I have to wonder whether Waves tested this thing on a variety of platforms and configurations.
 
There were two things going on:
a. As someone mentioned in the thread, sonar was still wanting version 9.3 waves even though the new 9.6 was installed by Waves Central.  HOWEVER, simply removing the 9.3 dll wasn't enough to solve this.  I went into the registry, and searched for any 9.3 entries and found a number of them.  Once I deleted them, then Sonar stopped asking for the "9.3" directory.  However, my plugins where still MIA.
 
b. Waves Central does not prompt or allow you to declare where the VST's go! So, it had stuck the 9.6 dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugIns. I had no idea it had done this until I did some detective work.  So I added that path to Sonar's VST list and everything started working.  NOTE: I have a multi drive custom system with an SSD on the C drive, so I have my vst's on the d drive.

All waves central would need to have done is ask where I wanted to install the goods. Why was that left out?
 
C'mon Waves, don't waste our time with sloppy programming and testing like this.  There is no excuse for a failure of a piece of self contained software that is so vital to the workings of the plugs in. No excuse at all. Get on the stick. Do better.
