If you get this message when loading up a Spitfire instrument, please follow the steps below.
This error means that the plug-in your DAW is using is not the latest version required by one of the presets in your library folder folder and will normally only occur after downloading a new LABS product or updating a library.
1. Check the location that your DAW is accessing the plug-in from and note the plug-in format it is using (VST2, VST3, AU or AAX)
2. Open the Spitfire Audio App and click on the Settings tab, check the locations that the app is downloading your plug-in files to, if these don't match the locations that your DAW is using, change them so that they match.
3. After confirming these locations match, delete the current plug-in files and carry out a repair the product as described here. (for LABS repair any one of the LABS)
4. Once the repair is complete, restart your DAW and rescan the plug-in folder if necessary.

so please i need help, i got this error but didnt understand anything from the instrucitons so i deleted the app and the files including the vst dll files because i thought redowloading it would solve the problem but now when i redownload i dont get the vst dll files from the download and cant open it as a plugin on ableton because i dont have the vst dll files downloaded
It could also appear meanwhile you're downloading a preset and load it in(LABS) meanwhile installing/downloading
This happened when I downloaded the newest version of LABs as it made me update as I was trying to get the two new instruments that were available, but since then this error has been popping up and I don't know why. I re scaned the vst , the locations of the vst matches ,yet the error still exists.
Today I downloaded the "Moon Guitar" and "London Atmosfere", attempted to open those but labs wasn't working anymore. I've tried following the instructions of the video but it didn't work. The patches seens to be the same, I don't really know the problem.
Hope someone helps me out
I keep getting the same error after doing this steps several times, and the new instruments (London Atmos, Moon Guitar) wont load, but the older ones work without problems
I need help, I have downloaded the "strings 2" library, when I open it the ad appears "error # 2", I have read the instructions and I have carried them out, however I was not successful. Any other solution?
I had the same error and fixed it by loading a different DAW version of the plugin (Labs x86 as opposed to the previous one I've used, which was VSTi 3). See if this will fix the error for you guys as well.
Hi Spitz, How do I move my LABS library to a different location (partition) without breaking it (AGAIN... yaawwwn)?
Errors? I've had 'em all.. two days straight I've been downloading them again and again and again - new accounts, different order of steps, wearing a different pair of socks in case that's the reason they don't work.. (it might as well be, for all the sense I can make of it) so frustrating and not what I've come to expect from Spitfire.
Works fine in Windows - I can hardly believe it! How did you manage to make something that works a treat in WIN but on MAC I'm shit outta luck?! Must be a world first! Certainly a new experience for me and it's playing havoc with my delicate little sensibilities. Help. ;p
I recently started experiencing this error again, but now the Spitfire Audio app refuses to open. I am running macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave). I have reinstalled the app by downloading the .dmg from the website four times now to no avail.
