I upgraded to Ozone 9 and it works fine in WL. When I add it to the plugin list and then bypass the Master Section, Ozone 9 it is removed, no error messages pop up. When I re-engage the Master Section, Ozone 9 comes back on and performs as it should.
My conclusion is that Izotope sorted the issue found in Ozone 8. Maybe try a trial download of Ozone 9 to see if you have the same experience.
