Last updated August 14, 2024
Eventide plugins are designed for seamless integration, but occasionally you might encounter installation or authorization issues. This article addresses some common problems and provides troubleshooting steps to help you resolve them quickly.
Common Installation Errors
- Insufficient Permissions: Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to install software on your computer. Try running the installer as administrator to resolve permission-related errors.
- Incompatible Operating System: Verify that the plugin you're trying to install is compatible with your operating system. Eventide's website clearly specifies the supported operating systems for each plugin.
- Conflicting Software: Other software or antivirus programs might interfere with the installation process. Temporarily disable your antivirus or any conflicting software and try installing the plugin again.
- Outdated Drivers: Outdated audio driver versions might cause compatibility issues. Update your audio driver to the latest version.
- Insufficient Disk Space: Ensure that you have sufficient disk space available for the plugin installation. Delete unnecessary files or move them to an external drive to free up space.
Common Authorization Errors
- Incorrect Authorization Code: Double-check that you've entered the correct authorization code, which you’ll typically receive via email.
- Internet Connection Issue: A stable internet connection is required for authorization. Verify your internet connection or try a different network.
- Authorization Server Down: Occasionally, Eventide's authorization server might be experiencing temporary downtime. Wait for a while and try again later.
- Expired Trial Period: If you are using a trial version of a plugin, make sure the trial period has not expired.
- Outdated Authorization Tool: Ensure you have the latest version of Eventide's authorization tool installed.
Troubleshooting Steps
