Mac M1 Ventura Waves Central doesn't see license stick

[nottooloud]

M1 Mac Mini, everything was fine under Monterey. Waves Central 13.4.1. Horizon and some odds n ends recently updated to V14. Updated to Ventura for an unrelated issue, and Waves Central doesn’t see my FAT32-formatted 4GB license USB stick. It’s right there on the desktop. I can look at the 47kb license file which is the only thing on it. I have another stick with different licenses for portable us with live sound mixers. Doesn’t see that one, either. Tried ports on the Mac Mini and on the connected CalDigit Thunderbolt dock.

No licenses means no plugins. I've got a shout in to Waves, since it's obviously their problem, but has anyone here seen this?

followup, it's a Waves issue. They suggested moving the licenses off the stick onto the computer, or, as an unsupported fix, formatting the stick as a Mac format.

Bleh.

I'm not surprised. As soon as you said "Fat32," I assumed that was the problem.
