> Hello JUCE users, Following Steinberg’s announcement that they are removing the VST2 components from the VST3 SDK [https://www.steinberg.net/en/newsandevents/news/newsdetail/article/vst-3611-sdk-now-available-4906.html](https://www.steinberg.net/en/newsandevents/news/newsdetail/article/vst-3611-sdk-now-available-4906.html) the JUCE team is also removing the VST2 header files from the JUCE repo. As of this commit [https://github.com/WeAreROLI/JUCE/commit/a3566b8c1edac29997490143982cd2b2eb089ffa](https://github.com/WeAreROLI/JUCE/commit/a3566b8c1edac29997490143982cd2b2eb089ffa) it is no longer possible to create VST2 plug-ins using JUCE’s embedded VST2 SDK. If you are an existing…

TL;DR: for VST3 you don’t need to add anything, keep all SDK paths empty and for VST Legacy, if you don’t have the old SDK and a countersigned license agreement from Steinberg (no longer available), you cannot build and distribute old VSTs
