Vst Plugin Error Reason Waves

If I remove the first instance of a Waves VST3-plugin and load it again, it works perfect (Now this is also true when I load them into the Patcher version 1.1.5). 📌 Thank you so much for your comments and support!I answer all possible questions.

Hello,
I've tried searching on this topic without much luck, so figured I'd start a new post in hopes that someone might be able to help...Waves

Reason Vst Plug In

I have historically created all of my Live projects on my iMac, however, I recently got a newer Macbook, so I've been creating solely on that... I put every plugin / software application onto the laptop that was originally on my iMac desktop - so I figured there would be no issues.
Unfortunately, I went to open a project created a few months ago - on my desktop - and upon loading the project, it says 'The VST Plugin Could Not Be Found' next to a list of a few plugins that ARE on my laptop. Some Waves plugins, Serato Sample, etc etc...
I tried to Re-Scan plugins from within Ableton Live before even opening a project, to see if that would update things, but no luck...
I think that the issue is the plugins have a different file directory path than they did on my desktop, so Live is not finding them... which leads me to my question -- is there ANY way to relocated the plugins without losing my settings??? The pop-up box reporting the missing plugins does NOT give the option to locate these 'missing' plugins... although, again, they are on my laptop.
VstI know that I could just re-load the plugins in question, but patch selections / presets are lost if I do this. Further, on Serato Sample, I have to re-load the samples I had chosen (not to mention their key, the same slice settings, etc...) which is impossible.
You would think that this would be a common issue and/or easily rectified, but I can't seem to find any solutions... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!Okay, I'm surprised I'm the first to post this, but I have some VSTis which run standalone, but didn't show up in the initial scan that Reason 9.5 did. (Lots of others showed up immediately and run great!)
SO what's the procedure to:
a) figure out whether they are actually VSTs (I'm on a Mac, so they could be AUs)
Vst plugin error reason waves obeyb) if they are VSTs, identify whether they are VST2.4 - or whatever level it is that works... I know it's not V3.
c) put them where Reason can find them

Vst Plugin Error Reason Waves Obey

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this! Just for reference, the VSTs I'm looking for are: Morphine by Image-Line (my only Image-Line instrument), Absynth by Native Instruments (I also have Reaktor 5, which shows up, but I haven't figured out how to make it work yet, and PPGWave by Waldorf (Palm) - I also have Wavegenerator by PPG (Palm) and that one works fine...

PS: for anyone who's wondering, these VSTs all work fine on my Mac in Reason 9.5: All of Arturia's Virtual Instruments: Analog Lab 2, ARP2600 V3, CS-80 V3, Matrix-12 V3, Mini V3, Modular V3, Oberheim SEM V (and SEM V2), Propher V3, and Synclavier V, and PPG's Wavegenerator. Native Instruments' Reaktor 5 shows up in the instrument browser and in the effects browser (3 times! As FX, FX 2x8, and Surround), but I haven't figured out how to make it work yet...
