After much effort on both mine and Arturuas part chronicled in another thread, I finally got the Arturua ASC software to open and work properly. This is their licensing and authorizing software for their newer instruments.
I was so excited when it popped up and showed all my instruments authorized, but when I tried to bring up a stand alone instrument it never comes up, and windows events viewer does show a crash.If I tried to scan the VSTs with Platinum the plug in manager crashes, and so does scanning under preferences menu.
Back to the drawing board
