... 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?
 

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...

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.

You'd need to re-enable the NIC, move you licenses to the Cloud,
THEN disable the NIC (so that WC can't "see it", then move the
licenses back, taking the NIC
OUT of the equation, THEN re-enable 
the NIC, AFTER they have been moved back to the PC,
and that should separate them...but the USB idea should
work as well...

Put them on a USB stick and leave them there.
Now it won't matter whether your network card is enabled or not. You just need to leave the USB stick attached to use Waves plugins. It is like a "dongle".

If you like working like this, after your testing etc - just get a chappy, small USB stick to use for Waves licenses only (or any other plugins that can use USB sticks to assign licenses). You would copy your licenses back to the cloud, then to your new USB stick.

I prefer using a USB stick to the PC. This way if your hard disk dies, your waves licenses are still intact. Of course if the USB stick blows up....
(Actually this happened to me once - you can redo the licenses to a different USB stick, but not more than once in a year)

Still no joy... Tried the above suggestion, and the usb stick-to-the-PC route and SONAR does not see the licenses with the NIC disabled. 
 
I think I'll have to troubleshoot other possible causes for the pops, clicks, and dropouts.  I also suspect my video card (and/or it's drivers), and usb drivers perhaps... however, I'm not quite sure what to do about those yet.  I welcome any other ideas.

Thanks John,
 
I did try this.  I was able to disable the NIC with the licenses on the usb stick, but my pops, clicks, and dropout issues were worst this way. 

What are your ASIO buffers set at?  That will have a
HUGE impact, as well as your plugin buffers

In the Scarlett Mix Control, I usually set it at 2.0 or 3.0 ms when I'm tracking, and I set it at about 16.0ms when I'm mixing.  it's currently set at 16.0 for this troubleshoot.

This is a bit of a wild card, but you might try posting your problem over in the software forum with a link to this thread.  There is a guy who hangs out there by the name of "bitflipper" who is a wiz at this stuff.  If you can get his attention he might be able to offer some thoughts.
 
Good luck to you!

This is in the software forum.  Did you mean a different forum? 
 
I hope he does chime in though.

Oooops!  I must have been asleep at the switch!  Sorry.  But hopefully BF will still see this thread.

Yep, I totally learned (not specific to Waves) that I need to disable my NIC and wireless adapter to get smooth recording in Sonar. Which I routinely do now and everything works like a charm. No pops or clicks and latency issues disappear.

But, when I first started doing that I encountered the Waves issue.

As stated above, I learned to get a USB stick (ends up being essentially a Waves dongle). I moved my licenses there. No issues since. Works like a charm.

Last note, applies only to today pretty much, there's an outrageous discount on Waves Gold today. If you don't have all those items already included in Waves Gold then today is an optimum opportunity to get them. They are really useful items. See the Deals section for more about it.
