There is a major conflict with the ARIA Player. You may have to edit some code to get everything working until they release the next update — yes, really. Since I do not use HaLIon with BIAB, I've ignored this. If you need to make those edits, have Support walk you through this. Steinberger Support uses the free version of Zoom which means that there's a 40 minute limit on a call.

You probably need to have a conversation with Steinberger Support. There are many articles on their Support pages as well. The latest updates made for macOS Hell that took me many hours to resolve on my own—I had to re-download everything and install everything manually — and then the Steinberg Download Assistant still threw up a number of errors but everything now worked.

E-licenser issues have been a royal PIA for Yamaha/Steinberg. For that reason, they will be discontinued April 2025. I haven't seen an announcement on what takes its place yet.
