Spectrasonics Atmosphere & Trilogy on Vista 64

I am running Atmosphere fine here in 64 bit Vista and Sonar 7 64 bit. You might try moving the .dlls for these programs into the default directory for Sonar VSTs. That is a long shot however. Not sure what else would cause this.

Hi-

FWIW, Trilogy works fine here with 7.0.1, XP Pro SP2.

Hi , I had a similar problem. It might have to do with the fact that the first initialisation screen pop-up isn't allowed for some reason. Here's my workaround. http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.asp?m=1185845

i have had no issues with auth screens from Spectra, NI, etc. Try disabling UAC in Vista.

Excellent. For as useful as UAC is in theory, it is a real pain in the arse for most users, especially us DAW users. Good luck bro, and remember, the only good UAC is a disabled UAC.

The error i get when i cancel the trilogy vst scan is

"could not find an authorization. Please contact the reseller of plugsound for further information"

I will try that as a last resort, it looks like there is a solution to this problem, but unfortunatly i cannot access it...

The solution to this problem is posted on the Spectrasonics knowledge base under "Windows Vista Authorization Problems." Registered users can check it out by going to:

Hey Yogi what was the suggestion?

After about 3 hours trying to figure this thing out. I gave up....

And thats when I solved the problem by a fluke!

As I was loading up Sonar to remove the Spectrasonics Folder from the vst folders. The Trilogy Authorization screen showed up!!!!!!

I couldnt believe my eyes! So i plugged the proper key into trilogy and it worked. Next i added the atmosphere folder vst, and did a scan unfortunatly the same thing happened again.... it hung....

So I thought why did the trilogy work that one time.... and then it hit me!

I have this really wierd habbit of dragging the mouse around objects ect while im waiting or something is loading....

So when I loaded atmoshere I keep dragging the mouse around the sonar load splash screne, as if selecting a bunch of files. except it would be like selecting the splash screne(hope that makes sence). for some reason this catches the auth screen before sonar (or windows) before it gets pushed away somewhere.

I also noticed there needs to be a couple vst's that load before it hits the problem vst, so i had to rename atmosphere.dll to zatmosphere.dll, it then worked!
You can then rename it back to normal..

I have tha same problem in Atmosphere registration.
"could not find an authorization. Please contact the reseller of plugsound for further information"

This only on Vista (On XP it's OK).

Anyone have new ?

Ditto on that one Yogi1975....

No matter what I did, Sonar 7.0.2 (64 bit) would stop at Atmosphere 1.2 in Vista (64 bit).

My workaround is the same as yours except that I installed Samplitude 9 SE.

Authorization for Atmosphere was successful from there.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction......cheers!

Hey Pete,

What I meant with 'suggestion' was the solution Spectrasonics offers to this problem. They advise you to 'run as administrator'. I tried that, but it didn't solve my problem at the time.

My workaround was the solution to my problem: using Cubase LE or any other DAW (besides Sonar) to get your plugins authorised. Once this has happened, they will pose no problem being opened within Sonar 7 (64 bit) on Windows Vista x64.

I haven't tried getting the plugs authorised within Sonar 7 (32 bit). I'm not sure where the problem lies (Sonar or Vista).

Let me know when and how you solved the problem!
