• This guide offers precise instructions on how to install, update, or activate your Waves products and licenses. Learn how to check your current license versions, activation status, and Waves Update Plan coverage.
• This was a surprise to me when I trying to install my V9 plugins, where I could see the licenses but no option to install them in the Waves Central. Then I figured out the note written in the Waves Central. It’s because the latest version of Waves Central installs Waves V10 plugins & applications (except SoundGrid V9 applications are still available for installation) via Online source.

You will of course have to install the plugin on the computer you want to use, but at least you won’t have to transfer licenses between your Waves Cloud account and different computers. Then, click Install and Activate and Waves Central will complete the process for you. Click 'Continue' on the Waves installer to bypass the introduction and agree to the license terms. Under 'Installation Type' place a check mark next to the Waves items for which you have bought licenses.

The library waves2Foam is a toolbox used to generate and absorb free surface water waves. Currently the method applies the relaxation zone technique (active sponge layers) and a large range of wave theories are supported and the relaxation zones can take arbitrary shapes.

Release of the waves2Foam Manual

As of the 17th of August 2017, the waves2Foam Manual is released. Consequently, the content of this Wiki-page is reduced.

2 Download and Installation

2.1 Dependencies

Besides the standard dependencies in OpenFoam, waves2Foam also depend on a number of additional third-party packaged. These are:

• GNU Scientific Library (GSL)
• Subversion (SVN)
• git
• gfortran

Make sure that these dependencies are installed on the system prior to installation of waves2Foam. Refer to the manual for further installation instructions.

2.2 SVN on SourceForge

The toolbox is available through the OpenFoam-Extend SourceForge SVN. Check out the code in the following manner:

2.3 Installation

• Install all third-party dependencies
• Obtain the source code via SVN as described above
• Execute the Allwmake script in the folder waves2Foam
  • The Allwmake script might cast an error in terms of instructions. Merely follow these.
  • Other errors could be a lot of things:)

Perhaps I've been staring at this too long and I'm missing something obvious...
First, I verified that I do indeed have licenses in my account on the Waves site:
Next, I verified that Waves Central can see my licenses in My License Cloud:

However, when I attempt an 'Easy Install & Activate,' Waves Central is now telling me that I don't have any licenses?
So far, I've tried...

• Clicking 'Refresh'
• Logging out of then logging back into Waves Central
• Uninstalling all Waves products, rebooting, then reinstalling the latest version of Waves Central (10.0.0.3)
• Rebooting my machine first before relaunching Waves Central
• Running Waves Central as Administrator

Waves License Crack

Has anyone run into a similar issue before? How were you able to solve it?
