FAQ & Troubleshooting:

• Q: My DAW isn't scanning the VST3 version.
  A: Ensure your DAW's plugin manager is actively scanning the default Windows VST3 directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3.
• Q: The Keygen says "Access Denied" or gets deleted immediately upon extraction.
  A: Windows Defender or your third-party antivirus is falsely flagging the keygen software (a common false positive for scene releases). Temporarily disable your AV during activation or add the extracted folder to your antivirus exclusion list.
• Q: The plugin opens but I am getting "Missing Library" or no sound errors.
  A: Ensure the library data folders were properly extracted. If prompted by the Addictive Keys GUI, click the locate button and point the directory browser to the location where you saved the instrument Sound Data.
