Licenses gone overnight

Was stressed out to see my Waves plugins suddenly only worked in demo mode today, after having no issues yesterday. I haven’t made any changes. The plugins are (were, I guess) licensed and activated on this laptop I’m typing on as of right now. And have been for at least a couple months.

This laptop I’m on right now, where I’ve been using the plugins appears to be listed as a disconnected device. Which is…. strange.

And I can’t recover the licenses, since I did that some months back from a computer that died.

The plugins are listed as installed, but not activated.

I’ve tried the stuff that is in the support section to no avail.

I just need to finish a mix, Waves. Come on.

Help!

Man, I’m not sure what’s going on here. Did you do any updates/upgrades to your computer or OS recently??

Best bet is to probably get in contact with support. They’d be more familiar with these kind of issues.

No, haven’t done anything. But Windows may have done something in the background without me noticing, maybe. Yeah, I think this maybe needs some further help from inside people. Thanks.
