Cannot Create Soundtoys Version Root [top]

The "Version Root" here refers to the licenser and the initialization code. In the era of subscription-based software, the "root" is no longer a static file on your hard drive; it is a handshake with a remote server. When this handshake fails—due to changed network conditions or an update—the local software cannot create the root instance. The result is a zombie state: the plugin is installed, but it lacks the ontological permission to exist.
