Just bought the amazing Vibe EQ, put the .key in HD/Library/Audio/Components like it says in the forum. But I still get the “Validation copy” sign when I open the plug in? What am I doing wrong. I had a demo version installed previous to buying it. I’m on Mac 10.6.8.

Ahh…If I have you matched with the right order that just came in, it’s because your name has an accented character in it. That breaks my key generator. I will reissue the key without the accent and it should work properly. Check your inbox soon for a new set of emails.
