Hey man, I can’t open Subtab; it crashes Ableton 12. I’m using M1 Pro and OS Sequoia. Also with XL, it activated but asked me to put the keygen again and again, plus i can’t see any preset, and I can load any! can you please help me with it? frustrating

Hey @xanny, can you try opening the SubLab XL standalone app?

When it’s open, are you able to click through Settings \> Activation and also the About tabs? Could you take a screenshot of both and post here?

Okay got it. Could you launch the SubLab standalone app and click the “sublab” icon in the top left corner to see this page?

Hey Xanny,

Have you tried the latest version of SubLab available here:

[https://cdn.futureaudioworkshop.com/downloads/sublabxl/SubLabXL-Installer-1.0.4-Sequoia-macOS-Release-261124.zip](https://cdn.futureaudioworkshop.com/downloads/sublabxl/SubLabXL-Installer-1.0.4-Sequoia-macOS-Release-261124.zip)

Also, does it crash during activation and you bought it from Plugin Boutique?  
If so make sure that you follow step 7 here:

Hey @xanny

Could you please try this installer? This is the latest macOS installer for the original SubLab: [https://cdn.futureaudioworkshop.com/downloads/sublab/SubLab-Installer-1.0.9-Sequoia-macOS-Release-181124.zip](https://cdn.futureaudioworkshop.com/downloads/sublab/SubLab-Installer-1.0.9-Sequoia-macOS-Release-181124.zip)

Please make sure to quit your DAW before running the installer, and then reboot your mac once install is completed.

Let me know if that works or not 🙏
