I have installed and licensed waves Gold V9, Renn Bass, Vocal Rider, Bass Rider and the JJP Artist bundle. When I launch any one of these plug-ins I get a nag screen that states that I don't have a Vitamin license. I don't own Vitamin as I haven't wupped Gold in awhile so I click skip, move on and the launched plug opens and operates properly until I close the gui which crashes Sonar X3e.
I haven't put a ticket in to either Waves or Cake yet. Have any of you guys run into this. Thanks.

I don't know how old your installer is but if it's relatively old there may be issues. They did an update somewhere in December 2013 to provide X3 compatibility. Also, you can't mix VST2 and 3 in the same project!

If you haven't WUPed and aren't going to, you can delete the Vitamin plugin to make the message stop. Simply locate the folder where the individual plugins are stored and find the Vitamin file. This is what Waves told me when I updated mine.

That nuked the request for the Vitamin license but the same crash scenario still exists. Thanks Dan.

This is a new install with the latest woli installer. The crash even happens with no other plugs in the project. VST2 versions of these plugs don't show up in my audio effects list even though the JJP Vst plugs show up in the plug-in manager. I'm still wupped on everything but the Gold bundle. Thanks for the input.

I believe the reason they list SONAR this way is because Waves depends on VST3 for some features. It is still possible to use Waves VST2 in X3 but you functionality. Waves does not support mixing VST2 and VST3 versions of their plug-ins. Prior to X3 there was no VST3 support in SONAR.

Is is possible you are mixing VST2 and VST3 Waves plug-ins? IIRC, this will cause a crash. If you still need VST2 Waves, you may need to look at the VST3 migration settings in Preferences > File > VST Settings. Waves does not support mixing plug-in formats.

Nah, I tried it on a new project with a single audio track and no other plugs. I've been down this road before with Waves V9. I didn't have any luck in X2 either so I went back to using V8. In doing so I basically moth balled Vocal Rider and Bass Rider. I recently bought the JJP Artist bundle and now I'm bound and determined to get this sorted out. I can live without the VST2 versions. Thanks for the ideas.

Well that was my best shot. I don't have any Waves plug-ins. Good Luck.
