If Waves V13 does not appear in your DAW even though you installed it on your Mac, you can solve it by resetting the settings files in the Library folder. Specifically, just delete the Waves-related files in the Application Support folder and the settings file in the Preferences folder, then install again from Waves Central. This clears plug-in recognition errors so you can use Waves plug-ins normally in your DAW.

Open "Library," which appears at this point.
In Library > "Application Support," delete "Waves Audio" and "Waves Central."

Go back to Library and open the "Preferences" folder.
Delete "com.WavesAudio.central.plist" in it.
*If you want to keep a backup just in case, move it to the desktop or elsewhere instead of deleting it.
Launch Waves Central and install the products from "Install Products."
After that, launching the DAW, the products were recognized.
