It might be a studio 1 and waves thing.

Yes, definitely a Studio One thing. The updated Waves Central installs a new v14 Wave Shell.

Plugins for v12 were fine, but I had to force Studio One to re-scan plug-ins to pick up the new v14 Waves Shell. Apparently S1 fails to auto-detect the new point release for "14.12".

Select "Update Plug-in List" in Studio One (forces a re-scan at DAW start-up). Found in S1 Menu > View > Plug-In Manager.

It took a bit of searching around to find the S1 Plug-In Manager.

I've no idea why PreSonus tucked that away under the "View" menu, rather than "Studio One > Options".

Thank you so much. I will try later. I was super annoyed.

I had contacted Waves support about the S1 problem. They responded quickly with a longish procedure to reinstall after cleaning up a number of files which solved the issue. 

The forced rescan in S1 would be a much simpler solution.

While that looks like a moment to celebrate, that reinstatement is just a stop gap solution to a problem Waves will reintroduce later. Don't be surprised if they plan some killer plugin and lock it behind their subscription plans. Or they slowly start fading away from their WUP  model until you the only thing you have available is subscription plans. They would force you into subscription only if they had the same relevance and weight as Adobe or Avid have. These two could force their userbase into that model (although a good portion of ProTools users are also Avid shareholders, so it's no surprise there was little drama over their subscription model by comparison).

No wonder I can't find a job...

Come on man, there are more ways than one to make money and provide free services to attract users. Many places did it for a long time. In fact they were more than happy to do it just to get clicks.

Somewhere down the line some decided " People will pay for this. We shouldn't provide this content for free!"

I ain't one of them people.

If the WSJ can't make enough to stay afloat off the clicks, they need to hang it up.

WSJ has one of the tightest paywalls for those without a subscription. I don't even click anymore on WSJ articles linked to by search engines and other media sources.

In The Netherlands we have a couple of those as well. When those articles are suggested to me in some kind of feed (like the Google on on your phone), I actively try to click somewhere along the lines of "this is not interesting to me". When I'm on the train to work, I have 25 minutes of time to kill. And I will not kill them by dodging subscriptions, half articles or payment plans. The amount of times I have wasted my time on 'you', warrants me to send you a payment plan. For just €10 a month, I will allow you to send me your half-***** content with a payment link for when I want te read further.
