Cakewalk got into the OSX game late, so they went with an AU version and a VST3 version only. No VST2.4 version, and Live only does VST2.4. Pretty much no DAW but Cubase does VST3. You need it installed for the AU to work though.

Just use the AU version.

ok thanks man, but i only use ableton. so do you have any good sugestion in other vst s plug ins as similar as Z3TA+2.

I don't think you got what I said.
You can use Audio Units in Ableton Live on a mac!

There is absolutely no reason in terms of anything but portability to Windows systems to stick to using only AU or only VST.

I mostly use VST 2, but I use AU with the few plug ins that are VST3 and AU only. It works great, no issues, not a problem.

I use Massive and Z3TA+ 2 as well as hardware like the Analog 4, Trident and others. I can tell you there's nothing like Z3TA+ 2. I love it and Massive is only third after Analog 4, though I use Massive for certain stuff. I wouldn't say they are similar, though both are very good wavetable synths they are different in sound. I feel the Z3TA+ 2 has the upper hand in raw waveforms and can sound very analog if handled right, or "digital" or a mix. Massive is great but the raw waveform sounds are, to me, a bit more obviously digital compared to Z3TA+ 2, even if they can be molded well. I think they complement each other extraordinarily.

If you like the sounds Z3TA+ 2 makes stay with it and just use it as an AU. I feel a majority of the presets are not very good IMHO, but you can learn from some of them of course and it's good to make up your own mind anyway.

As you're on the Mac you have 2 free extra libraries, normally paid for, you can get from Cakewalk. Look in your account. If they are not there just ask support.
