Version 14.0: This indicates the major version of the Waves software. Version 14 (V14) is compatible with modern 64-bit operating systems and DAWs.

Note: This is the shell component required to run legacy or specific Waves plugins. Does not include the actual audio effect libraries unless you have the corresponding license bundles.
