Hi,
 
I have 3 Waves plugs (the free ones they've given away a little while back) that I've never been able to get working properly on my system (pops, clicks, and dropouts).  I've decided to give it one last shot, and I'm now in full troubleshooting mode.
 
I ran LatencyMon to get some ideas on where to begin.  So far, I've disabled C-states in the BIOS (I believe this is a CPU power saving function?), and switched "System cooling policy" to Active (from passive) in the Advanced Power Option settings.
 
Now my next step is to disable my NIC card, and this is where I'm currently stuck.  When I disable the NIC and fire up SONAR, it's telling me that my Waves licenses are not there.  In Waves Central, the licenses look like they are on my local machine (not on the cloud). 
 
Any ideas to help me in my troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Reenable your card.
Your licenses should be available.
Move your licenses to the cloud.
Redisable your card while the licenses are in the Cloud.
Move your licenses back to the PC.
 
They may be "attaching/attached to the card", which would
cause this problem when it is removed.  

Just an idea

Thanks for weighing in, Larry.  But for the above step, I won't be able to log in to Waves Central with my NIC disabled.  Should I install Waves Central on an other computer (that's hooked up to the net), maybe?  But then WC won't see my DAW, right?
 

Like larry above, I've found my problems with Waves usually disappear when I uninstall/reinstall everything.

Thanks, Jude... I've have uninstalled/reinstalled more than a few time in the past, to no avail.

Yes you can.  Once you have re-enabled and moved
your licenses to the cloud...that should "separate" them
from the card, and allow you to log in...should...

Just a note,
you can "attach" you licenses to 
 
PC
USB Flash Drive
USB External Drive
or any USB "device"
I believe, it just has to be 
present for them to work.

Once they've been moved "to the cloud"
they are no longer "attached" to the hardware,
and, when you move them back, make sure you 
are not attaching them to "hardware", but to your
PC.

Oh, I think I see what you mean, now.  Move licenses to cloud, Disable NIC, then re-enables NIC to move the back to PC (the disable NIC again)?  I'll try that.

Nope... no joy.  Maybe I'll try moving them to a usb stick, then from the stick to the PC to see if I can "separate" them from the NIC that way

Yep...that would be the next way...

Weird...because once they are back in the Cloud
they should be separated...but, stranger things have
happened
