I want to keep Oz9 installed especially if it Oz10 doesn't do all Oz9 can do, but I haven't compared. Can these be installed simultaneously?

Thanks.

    @Jojo123 Yes you can install both on your system. They will simply show as different instances. Ozone 9 is supported from MacOS 10.11 to 11.6 and Ozone 10 from 10.15 to 13.

    I briefly tried Ozone 10 standard alongside 9 Advanced, no problems but I found the standard version even though 10 much more limited so there is really no benefit in installing 10 if you have 9 Advanced

    I now have MPS 6 though anyway

    @Kymeia Thanks for weighing in. What Im intersted in is Audio Lens. A while back they offered it for free as a time limited promotion. I downloaded it but couldn't find definite info on using it without Ozone10 so I never installed it. It turned out it could be installed but how useful that was I couldn't find out, so its still sitting there on my Drive. Anyway Im not even sure if it would still be free, unless the installer was a unique freebie.

    Ah I tried that but it annoyed me by adding its own driver which kept messing up my DAW settings

    Oh, thanks for chiming in. I knew there was something Mac Owners had to

    install and that made me wary at the time as well. Im on Logic, can I

    ask what DAW you're using?

    Thanks.

    Several including Logic but more Bitwig

    Can you elaborate on what settings it changed in your DAW.? Im still quite keen to try it, but Im in two minds.

    Thanks.

    Try it, IZotope installers have an uninstall option. For me I found I had to keep changing back to my Fireface drivers in DAWs as it added itself as a driver and to me it was too much hassle to keep having to go into settings to do that but tbh I wasn’t that invested in using it anyway. But if you have a use for it by all means don’t let my experience stop you.

    I upgraded from Ozone 11 standard to advanced and installer says all is fine (installed and authorized to ilok). However, I can't insert Ozone Advanced VST in Cubase, there is only option for Ozone 11 /// which says it's Ozone Standard. Why????

    Also, it really shows as being only the Standard version (with text), the new modules are not there. You see:

    There must be a problem with the installer, somehow it does not convert the version (caches some data related to Standard version) It would be cleaner if the different versions were independent applications / plugins.

    Further ilok activation fails with error

    Then if you have the opportunity then try uninstalling both old and new version and the see if you can mend the problem by only installing the new version ?

    That was after I reinstalled advanced.

    However, the Ozone 11 is still the "Standard" version.

    Now when I try alternative installation option "ilok" and give my ilok account name it cannot find it.

    It doesn't recognize my valid ilok account ID.

    However, on ilok.com I can now see the Advanced version listed but not authorized.

    So the product portal haven't been able to really activate the product. Now maybe I could use iLok License Manager to authorize the product, right? Does this really have to be this diffucult, please, do something, I cannot recommend Izotope/NI plugings to anyone not compete with computers.
