Acredito que seu problema deve ser com bibliotecas onde o nexo não vê a pasta. Coloque este arquivo executável na pasta onde a biblioteca nexus (NEUXS LIBRARY) está localizada e execute como administrador. Entre na DAW e execute o nexus e você verá que as pastas estão lá.

Maybe you didn't do the directions quite right. By the way, not all expansions have been cracked. But the vast majority do. If you place your Nexus library on an external drive, you can apply the update script that 
Rildo Correia (above in the comments) has indicated. Download it, place it in your Nexus library folder. Double click and the json settings will automatically be adjusted to the location of your Nexus library folder.

Not expansions i mean,but some old presets from Nexus 4 really ask for license. Everything is installed correctly.I was randomly testing . But other than that it works fine.

I’m sorry it’s not working for you..
Re-read the instructions and try again..
the software loads properly…
Odd that you made changes to the.json when you have a perfectly good library location tool included..

works great for me
tons of expansions here..
