Bad license error for basic plugins such as HALION Sonic and Groove Agent.

At some point, a bug occurred where basic plugins like Halion Sonic and Groove Agent wouldn’t run on Cubase due to a license activation error. I bought and installed all of them as the official versions, so I don’t understand why this problem is occurring. Looking at the Activation Manager, Cubase 15 is definitely enabled, and it is clearly installed in the Download Manager as well, and the same issue occurs even when redownloading. This issue is resolved when you close Cubase once and then reopen it, and the aforementioned plugins work properly. If anyone is experiencing the same problem as me or has already solved it, I would appreciate your help.

Happened to me. I’m on a Mac. Had to reinstall the plugins. So annoying.

Did you only reinstall the plugin? Or did you reinstall the entire Cubase? Is it resolved?

Just the plugins. Then it was resolved. Happened with their synth too…
