Do you use Waves plugins in Live?

I can't get them to load their UIs. They can be dropped on the track but the UI comes up blank. In FL Studio they are also unable to be loaded correctly from the chooser. BUT the Waveshell VST can be loaded, then you can select the Waves VST3s as if they were presets. However, the Waveshell VST does not show up on the Live plugins browser. Walk paths are correct, 64 bit, all of that is correct.

On Windows or Mac? Which Live version are you using?
Did you try the VST2 versions (if they still exist) ? Or AU if you're on Mac?
