Versions claiming to be "Complete" and "Free" from third-party sites like AudioZ or P2P forums often include cracks or "patched" files to bypass protection. These files are not verified by Waves and may contain hidden malware or unstable "keygens" that can compromise your Mac's security.

Waves V12 was released in late 2020/early 2021 and lacks native support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 chips). It is primarily supported on Intel-based Macs running macOS 10.13.6 through 11.5.2. Legitimate Alternatives
