Hi all,
I’m sure I’m worrying over nothing, but I bought my plugins to use on a Mac mini with an Intel i7 chip. I have V14, but will they work with a newer M1 Mac mini (Ventura OS) or will I need to pay anything to upgrade them?
Thanks.

Hi @adrienne,
Welcome to the Waves Forum.
Yes, V14 licenses should work fine on OS 13. You can always verify if your licenses support your OS version by visiting our [System Requirements page.](https://www.waves.com/support/tech-specs/system-requirements#plugins%7Cversion-14)
If you ever need help setting your Waves plugins feel free to [Contact Technical Support](https://www.waves.com/contact-support) for quick assistance.

I’m running a MacStudio M2 myself and v14 is working fine under Sonoma.
As a side note, though, some devs are putting out warnings against updating to Sonoma 14.4 as of yet. It seems the update breaks functionality with PACE/iLok licensing.
Waves doesn’t use anything like that themselves, but you may have other plugins that do.

Just straight up installed it via Central. Though, that’s removed now and I replaced it with V15.
Is your problem perhaps that the licenses aren’t Activated?? Perhaps check out the Licenses tab in Central??
