Make Extensions Permanent

As of Nuendo 12 and Cubase 12 introduces a convenient Make Extension Permanent command that you can use to render the changes in Acoustica permanently. This will refresh the clip's waveform in the session and make it possible to share the session with others that don't have Acoustica installed.
