I not had a problem once and waves gave me a fix pronto. Turns out like so often it was user naivety.

I'm certainly not ruling naivety out in my case!
Thanks Mike!

AAARRRGGGHHH Tonight neither plugs are licensed again. Waves are good in following up (they sent me a "looks like you're having trouble ..." email). Then I got a chat with tech support.  They tell me they don't support Windows 10 yet, and move the licenses to USB, which I have;  done a complete uninstall / reinstall, license by USB ... we'll see how that goes.

I own about 10 Waves plugins, and it's getting harder each time I buy a new plug to remember each and every plugin that I have, in order to check each one in the installer.  If Waves doesn't make an installer that can automatically recognize the existing plugins that we already have, I may forgo buying any new Waves products for a while.  That being  said, I do like and use the plugins that I have.  I think CW may have Waves beat with their CCC, which does recognize my current status.

Same about me,
with every new purchased plug of Waves I get  more issues,
but in my case it could be a 32 vs 64 bit prob
(different projects and Sonar versions ).

No problems here.
Using WOLI all my plugins are listed & checked.
If I ever want to remove a plugin I uncheck it.
If I want to add one I check it.
To update I don't need to do anything, just hit 'next' & they all get updated automatically.

Yeah, I only had one problem, and I sent Waves an e-mail.  They responded in 15 minutes and had me going again.  I think the trick is to install a new installer each time you buy a plug in.

This is why I abandoned Waves altogether. I've got maybe 8 of their products. All are currently installed, but I will not use them in new projects nor will I buy any additional plugins from them. I don't even bother with freebies and "no brainer" deals. 
 
A paying customer shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to use a purchase, and it shouldn't just stop working out of the blue. Back when Waves offered things nobody else had, the aggravation might have been justified. But nowadays there are very few items in their catalog that can't be matched by another vendor with more reasonable copy protection and more consumer-friendly upgrade policies.

I have an use WAVES plugs all the time.  I actually like the new license center thingy.  It's always been easy peasy for me.  Much more stable than the iLok license center.  Like others have said above when you get a new plug just download the latest WOLI...make sure all your existing plugs AND your new one(s) are ticked (your existing plugs should already be ticked...mine always have been) and install.  Then make sure Sonar scans the new waveshell.  Really it's not rocket science.  Don't make a "hoop" out of a molehill:-)

Agreed. That's why I gave up using the few I purchased

I personally loved the WOLI....it was a breeze...

I just got tired of the WaveShell issues...I simply don't understand
why a plugin needs a "container" to run...they should stand on their own...
like the vast majority of other plugins...

But now we do have VMR from Slate...another type of "container"...

I don't care much for having a plugin to run a plugin....IJS...
