Kamikaze Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'm confused by these. DO I need iLok or not? Trying to get SmartEQ installed, but it won't show up in Sonar. Am I reading this wrong. I can install either direct to my machine or with an iLok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 But how do see it to authorise?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Usually there is an "Uncatagorized" selection on your Plugin Menu, which I don't see there, so it's obviously been modified. Change the "Layout" to something else... like "by Type" and see if it shows up under "EQ". Also check the "blacklist" to see if it's been excluded. Also try a "re-scan"..

Kamikaze Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I think the uncategorised applied when you sort by category. When I do this it's still not there. When I sort by Manufacrurer, Sonible doesn't show up, and there's no uncategorised. If does so many re-scans now (and re-boots), and about 4 installs of SmartEQ. Funnily Cakewalk auto scans for plug in after each install but doesn't find anything. So it's detecting some movement. When I look in the plugoin manager in all the folders, there's no sign of it. I bought this years ago, but gave up trying to install with the same problems on my old laptop. Only today when I saw it on my Plugin Boutique account did I think to re-try. I'm going to install the VST2, to see if it shows up, and if when I authorise that it fixes the VST3. (EDIT: Nope, that didn't work, and Cakewalk auto re-scanned again) Edited November 19, 2021 by Kamikaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Did you check the "Excluded" Plugins? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and when I added the VST2, the scanner picked up I mae a change, said nothing added, and the total number of plugin stayed the same. It's like it's being blocked from being added to the plug in manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Mine shows up fine..so IDK what's going on there...something fishy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 You authorize the license with iLok, the license can either be installed on your machine or on an iLok dongle. You can run the iLok License Manager to verify if you've activated the license or not. If you haven't installed the iLok License Manager take care of that first. Next - the plugin itself needs to be installed somewhere where your Cakewalk scan path can find it. If your screen shot is correct... You are only installing the VST3 versions - check your VST3 folder (C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3) and see if you can find smartEQ2_x64.vst3 If it's there then you probably should check the VST scan log to see if it got scanned.

The manual implies that you don't need iLok, and there was another screen from Sonible (that I lost when I tried a reboot and can't find that broke down the steps. And said install iLok, but then said you don't need iLok of you open the Plugin and enter the auth code onto it. But I can't open it to enter the auth code.

FALSE...you can authorize to your machine, and you DO NOT need either the iLok software or an iLok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
