I put the plugins back, after I have gone through with it and VEP. Need them also in my DAW. When VEP on next start up starts with scanning again, I just hit "cancel" and that's it. Doesn't work for you?

Hello and also check out this post.

Hi and no has not solved the problem. Now I have to use my own workaround to get everything back to normal.  Will not try anything else. Too much wasted time. When I am through again, I have it as I need it and good.  

Further still to the info. I have deleted the folder "cache". But strangely enough it was not created again.

Workaround

Move all plugs from your VST and VST3 to a for example, "VST off" "VST3 off" folder. But before you have to set the rights of the Plug-In folder in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins to read and write also for the user. It's normally set only to System and others. Choose also apply to all child objects. Otherwise it will ask for every single plug to authorise the move.

Then move only the plugs you need back to the VST/3 folder. Then go to the prefs and choose, reset and rescan all. Same with components/AU. After this move all plugs back from the "off folder" to you VST/3/components folder, so that they are available again for your DAW or whatever.

Unfortunately if you want to add another plug, you have to repeat the whole process. It's also a pain, but it works.

What a mess. Made the mistake to try it with "Reset and Rescan All". Starts hanging on a plugin with validation. So I am left again with plugins missing. Please why this again, why? Its such a pain and needless work and waisting of time to get the instruments back in VEP I need.

Went also already through this. Then an update fixed it. But now back.

Was, but unfortunately back :( Latest MacOS, latest VEP

Latest update 7.2.1503 fixed it for me. Thank you for this Vienna

Same here on latest Monterey. And I am sick of repeating to start all over again "Reset And Rescan All". Thinking about to delete the app. Waisting to much time with this. My Cubase Pro 12 has no problem with the plugins. And if, it just disables them. But not stuck in such a process of scanning, where "Cancel" is the only option to continue. "Scan for Changes" also endless, no result. And your are left, with a lot of plugins not available, because of an unfinished scan.

....just an idea, 127.0.0.1 is shown in the "SERVER" field, before you click connect? 

He has "i'm on macos 11.6.5. cubase 11.0.41"

10.16.7 here with Cubase 12 activated with new Steinberg license and VEP7.0.1120, still eLicenser. Working fine. Thought maybe it could be C12. Just to let you know. 

P.S. Sorry mistake, you are still on C11

Unfortunately its not possible to upload screenshots. So I have to type manually what all is installed. And this all is for more flooding my system with crap.

/Library/Application Support/PACEAntiPiracy/LicenseSupport/lib/libpacefusion_shared.dylib

Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paceap.eden.licensed.plist

/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/licenseDaemon.app

/Library/Frameworks/PACEEdenExperience.framework

/Library/LaunchAgents/com.paceap.eden.licensed.agent.plist

/Applications/iLok License Manager.app

/Library/Application Support/PACEAntiPiracy/LicenseSupport/bin/iloktool

P.S. Yes I know, Steinberg. Just made the transition flawless with C12. But also a lot of users had a lot of prbls with the transitions. 

I just logged into my account and was really surprised about what I had to read. This is an absolute pita, what is coming there. iLok will never be installed on my Mac. Its like malware, installing all over the system with garbage. I am extremely disappointed. Maybe I am not the first writing this. But I don't want to go through this thread. So goodbye VEP7 :-(

Update: Ok did it on my own. Forgot you can do it when opening the info and than replace the icon pic

This constant moaning is really getting on my nerves. Same behaviour I also see on other products in other forums. I get the feeling some people invest more time in complaining than in just using their software and getting projects done. My theory is, 99% are using it and try to make money with it. And the 1% complaining just take over a topic by quantity. 

Hi Paul,

thank you for your reply and mail.

Hallo Vienna Team,

so it looks like I ended up again in the same mousetrapp like with VEP 5. Its again not explicit decribed which plugin format works and which not. With VEP 5 it wasnt obvious that VST is not supported. And now the same with VST3. And when I read the forum, also other costumers had the same problem. 

Now you can call us fools, because its written VST is supported, which seems to mean for you at reverse, not VST3. But some people just understand VST as a pluging format, also including VST3. And at Vienna you should know that there are also Cubase user, which of course all install VST3 when they have the chance to choose. 

I just also contacted you with mail. But here now I just ask you for to change the info for VEP6, so not more customers run into the same anger and problems like me now.

thanks and bg

Hi Paul,

thanks for your reply and clarifying. Again on the way to order the update. Looking forward the new features and what I am especially glad about it, as a Cubase user, finally VST support :-)

Hallo VEP Team,

I was just on the way to buy the upgrade when I read this,

"* Epic Orchestra ist nur bei einem Neukauf von Vienna Ensemble PRO 6 enthalten. Das Upgrade von Version 4 bzw. 5 auf Version 6 beinhaltet keine Lizenz für Epic Orchestra."

I am not sure what it means. Will I loose my excisting license of EO? Is there a new version of EO, only delivered when buying it completley new? Will VEP 6 work with the old EO? A bit confusing for me.

Thanks in advance
