Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Does anyone have experience using Antares Harmony Engine with DP? I just purchased it and am trying to load it in, but every time I scan it, it says "Failed." How do I work around this issue?

Not enough information. What version of DP? What MacOS? Have you installed the latest CodeMeter Run Time?

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Antares uses CodeMeter from Wibu for licensing. You must install a CodeMeter run time to activate your license. The instructions on Antares site are a bit confusing but they do work.elarue wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 12:17 pmDP 11 on MacOS Monterey.

Antares does not always have the latest version on their site — this has caused me major grief in the past. Once you are properly licensed, you can download and install the latest version here:

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Okay, I found Codemeter through a Google search, but I wasn't sure how it worked, so I didn't install right away. Once I saw what it was, I thought maybe it was something that DP used. I had activated my license through Auto-Tune Central thinking that was sufficient, but maybe it wasn't. I'll install the latest Codemeter and see if that does the trick.mikehalloran wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 10:51 amAntares uses CodeMeter from Wibu for licensing.

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Okay, installing the latest Codemeter did not do the trick. Not sure if I need to do a clean install of Harmony Engine now or if there's still another lingering issue.elarue wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 11:14 amOkay, I found Codemeter through a Google search, but I wasn't sure how it worked, so I didn't install right away.

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Other than referring you to Antares, I don't know. It does work for my in DP 11 over Ventura. They used to use iLok but I think they switched back in 2017 otr so.

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Shot in the dark, but try launching DP in Rosetta and then rescan the plugin. Sometimes that works.

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Yeah, I submitted a ticket with them, and all they recommended was to do a clean install. I told them that didn't work, and then, crickets.mikehalloran wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 3:34 pm Other than referring you to Antares, I don't know. It does work for my in DP 11 over Ventura.

Run Get Info on DP. You’ll see a box that, when checked, opens the app over Rosetta 2.

Re: Antares Harmony Engine Evo
Ah, that's why I don't know anything about this. My MBP is from 2019 and still has an Intel chip. I did look for the box you mentioned and didn't see it there, but if it requires Apple Silicon, that might be why.mikehalloran wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 8:15 amEvery owner of an Apple Silicon Mac needs to know this one.elarue wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 5:35 pmOkay, dumb question.

Set up a signature with rig details. Helps when troubleshooting is needed.
