ForumsSoftware ← My Kaivo is stuck at 1.2.1

I have a full licence for Kaivo. But it says version 1.2.1 and it won't change when I install a later version: what should I do?

If the installer fails, it should always give you an obvious error message. Maybe the earlier version is still hiding somewhere?

The plugin should be in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components on Mac, or in your VST plugins directory, probably C:\VSTPlugIns, on Windows.

To get to your Library folder on MacOS you can hold down the Option key while selecting the “Go” menu from the Finder. Sorry this is a bit complicated, it’s Apple’s decision to make ~/Library hard to access.

OK, It has installed correctly for the latest Kaivo version in C:\VSTPlugIns, on Windows.BUT Kaivo still shows in FL Studio as 1.2.1

Maybe I should tell FL Studio to find Kaivo in the C:\VSTPlugIns, on Windows folder path?

So I did that and now I have a new Kaivo plug in from the C:\VSTPlugIns, on Windows folder. BUT when I open that it is still Kaivo 1.2.1 licensed to me. So what do I do?

You can start by deleting all Kaivo VSTs and installers, then run FL again. You want to make sure FL does not find the Kaivo plugin. If you think it's deleted but FL finds it, there is definitely one "hiding" somewhere! Look in FL prefs for an alternate VST folder location.

Then make sure you get the latest installer from http://madronalabs.com/products/kaivo .

Ok, did that and it worked; now have latest Kaivo licensed. As an electronic musician I will very happy to save CPU!

Glad to hear it. Enjoy!
