As much as I love Cakewalk/Sonar, it's hard not to feel like it could vanish again at any moment. Really hope that we start to see a broader marketing campaign and fingers crossed a perpetual license option. As it stands now it's hard (even for those is the know) to navigate the Bandlab site to find the current subscription information for the new Sonar and Next.

Installing the updated plugin scanner (linked in the thread above) works perfect and eliminates having to jump through any hoops or move anything around. ? Thanks again for the link!!

SSL has had the .vst3 extension for a while now, however they've moved the DDL extension into a sub folder, rather than within the main VST3 directory. For some reason the CbB plugin manager can't seem to resolve it and update to the new location. Had the same thing happen with Spitfire BBC Orchestra a while back.

None of my other daw software had a problem finding and updating to the new SSL directories, only CBB. Which leads me to believe this is an issue specific to the Cakewalk plugin manager, not sure if this has been addressed in the new Sonar release.

Had the same issue after the recent SSL update. What I did to resolve this was navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 Find the SSL Plugins that are giving you the issue and rename the main folder. I chose to drop the .vst3 from the end. After you do that, go into the folder you just renamed and find the main .dll Copy that .dll directly into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 CBB will then re-scan and your plugins will show up as expected.
