Considering migrating from Windows to MAc

whereas with Windows you need version 21H2 which released in 2021 and support already dropped.

Really? The below has been crossed out:

Waves V14 activation with pre-21H2 Windows 10

Looks like Waves is flipping off all of us still using Firewire, by requiring Windows 10 21H2 for V14 of their plugins. I got V14 installed OK and they show up in Waves Central but they don’t activate. I put a ticket in with Waves support, but I’m pretty sure of what their answer will be. I don’t suppose anyone else using Firewire has discovered a workaround? Update: Turns out to be pilot error (big surprise there!). I thought I remembered, and it looks like you should be able to, activate…

It’s worth noting that OS updates are not forced on to you, you can run a 5 year old MacOS and Apple online services will work, browsers are fine etc

Of course you don’t have to update. However feel free to read endless Waves and WUP complaints about Mac users unhappy…probably because they didn’t know in advance that, unlike most developers, Waves wouldn’t work.
