I'm in the middle of this hellish process right now. Had a demo of Maserati GRP which I liked and bought (on sale of course) and have since registered the serial, run the Waves Central install&activate process and scanned in Sonar. No go. Running a rescan of existing right now... hopefully that will work. If not, I guess I'll try the full uninstall and reinstall. Not my favorite thing. At all. 
 
Why should it be this difficult? I like some of their stuff but this is giving me hives. Have to remember this next time they make something seem like a no-brainer. Mental note: it's a brainer. I have to add the cost of lost work time wrestling with the arcane and punitive license and install BS. Argh. 
 
EDIT: Well, the full uninstall and reinstall seems to have done the trick. However, I will still be a bit warier of them in future. Annoying. Still, they do make some nice-sounding stuff...

Yes, if you are "upgrading" from the older installer to Waves Central, uninstalling first is the way to go, but I think it is a good practice to launch Waves Central first and move all of your local licenses to the cloud. Then exit Waves Central and run the old uninstaller.
 
Worked out fine for me, though it took forever to get all the plugins reinstalled and activated again.

They make installation so difficult.  I hate the all in one installer. It's really easy to mess something up.

It's easier with Waves Central than with the older "all in one" since you can now only install plugins that are in your account and still have licenses available. You no longer have to remember which ones you purchased...
