VST Connect Pro......not visible on PC!

Here’s a simple sequence to test with, just to see what happens when you try to connect two machines on a LAN.

What happens when you run through this checklist and reproduction sequence?

====
Have two machines connected on the same LAN

Machine 1 running Cubase Pro 9.5
Verify:

  • A VST Connect Pro license, trial or permanent, resides on the USB Elicenser key.
  1. Create new, empty project
  2. From the VST Cloud Menu, select VST Connect Pro>Create VST Connect

Now you have the VST Connect Window,
Don’t login

On Machine 2, verify the LAN connection is the same as Machine 1

  1. Launch VST Connect Performer and have no DAW running aside from this)

Observe the interface, is the LAN button lit up blue? (see attached image)
