1. This copy definitely works on M1/M2 Mac with Ventura and without any glitches or issues so far. Copied below are some better install steps I found elsewhere which I've added a couple of bits to inc. info on installing wine for opening the keygen.
2. NB. After reading recommendation elsewhere, I did also download some files (Waves SY v14.zip) from some Russian VST,AU telegram group and used the three replacement files (waveslicenceengine.bundle/index.js/app.asar) from that zip, but don't know if that made any difference, the ones included in this magesy download might well work fine, I just didn't try them.

4. Huge thanks to all those who patched it and updated info elsewhere to get it working!
