Using some PACE protected software with HyperThreading enabled can cause lock ups.

The information in this article applies to:

• SONAR 4 Producer Edition
• SONAR 4 Studio Edition
• SONAR 3 Producer Edition
• SONAR 3 Studio Edition
• SONAR 2
• SONAR Home Studio Version 4

If you have HyperThreading enabled, using a PACE protected FX plug-in can lock up your system or cause it to bluescreen. We've seen this with Antares plug-ins specifically, but not the Waves plug-ins.

NOTE: You enable/disable HyperThreading in the BIOS. In the "Main" section of the BIOS it should read "Hyper-Threading Technology [Enabled/Disabled]".
