Greg, If you are using 64 bit Sonar that may be the problem. The demo I got from addictive was 32 bit only. If you have a folder for your 32 bit plugins, put the .dll file in there, and rescan and you'll be fine.

Try going to the cakewalk plugIn manager and force a vst scan, see if it shows up in there. Sometimes with these plugs that require registration, the plug won't show up or can't be correctly scanned till you activate it or install the product correctly. Make sure that you loaded the data that goes with it, the pak files etc. The plugIn manager is under tools in sonar.
