H&E, how would you compare Kramer HLS and TG12345 (and Scheps or NLS if you have those)?

I wish I could tell you , but this new waves central screwed up a lot of my vst 9.3 presets including those you mentioned.
I keep getting a looking for waves shell 9.3 folder , so apparently it did not update my exisitng plugs..
 
I AM NOT HAPPY

I think the way it is supposed to work is that if you choose the 'easy install/update' (something like that, not at DAW at the moment, but it is the left hand side option of the 3, it will (is supposed to) remove the old stuff. I originally got the wrong impression from a video I watched about it prior to installing, thinking it would automatically remove the old stuff, but it didn't. But I had no trouble even the way I done it, I manually removed the old after sending all my licenses to the cloud first. Worked like clockwork, very happy with the new Waves Central, much better than the old, even though I had no trouble with the old.
 
As for Kramer HLS and TG12345  Scheps and NLS, they are all very good in my opinion, I use TG12345 mainly on the master buss and it makes things sound so sweet, I use the others all the time, and it varies due to the situation, type of material etc, but I love them all, sometimes one will suit better thasn the other and visa versa as normal.

Let me tell you why I hate waves as much as other people do
 
I was forced into WC because I purchased the 26 dollar Kramer HSL console, because my old waves license system wouldn't install it.
To make a TL;DR after a dozen attempts of installing WC using the easy, using the offline etc I finally think my plugs are installed.
 
It is supposed to be easy? really? the easy install didnt work for me
 
1 I removed all waves presence that were on my PC
2 I used the select ALL waves products to install and checked just the ones I own(previous attempts to install from MY products didn't work, not all products listed and kept crashing)
3 I installed on line (off line never worked kept crashing)
4. I ran this all this morning before work and it appears my Sonar plug in manager list is populated with all my plugs except one the waves rack, which I think was a freebie and I will have to go back and try to find and install it.
 
As much as I like the products I would rather the ILOK method, because their next step will probably be the dread S word and like the bully on the playground , kill your plugs if you don't pay.
 
Thanks to mr Head from another thread response for helping me find the plug in folder to scan

What confusion.  I'm new to Waves plugins, so I was already using their V9 license manager and product installer, but Waves Central is a major pain.  I have an email in to Tech Support.
 
I just picked up two new plugins.  Before Waves Central came along, I would have run the Waves install program and then authorized the plugins on my laptop by running the Wave License Manager, selected the license from My Cloud and 'Send' it to my PC.  Done.
 
Now, I'm not sure what to do.  The list of plugins is different under each of the three main areas of Waves Central, and the Cloud and Local lists don't even match.

The Cloud list is only what you have NOT installed.
The PC List is what IS installed.

Sadly, right now, you have to go register the serial #'s on the Waves Site (if you didn't buy at Waves)
and then they will show up in the Cloud list.  Check the box of what you want to install
and it will install.  

When you want to move your licenses to "The Cloud" or elsewhere
you have to go to "Licenses" and then "Manage Licenses".

It will take some getting used to...

It has to be coming...that's why when you go to "uninstall" it says
This will Uninstall V9 or V10...

Let's hope the GTR FINALLY get's an update...and they slap some new
interfaces on some of the older stuff that are getting long in tooth
