Sonar X3 - start new project get warning of missing plugins every time

Every time I start a new project, it warns me the project references plugins that are not found. This seems strange.  Should it be this way?  I have Sonar X3, not producer or studio.
 
Thanks in advance

    Have you checked which plugins it complains about and if there is an explanation for those?

    Resetting and rescanning your VSTs may also help.

    do you have a custom default template? Perhaps there is an old plugin referenced in there.

    Sonar Platinum (lifetime sub) :: Windows 8.1 Pro :: AMD FX-8350 CPU, 16GB ram :: 120GB SSD (boot), 1TB 7200rpm HDD (data/projects) :: (dual) Focusrite Saffire Pro40 (TI chipset on FW card) :: lots of plugins :: lots of various midi controllers and hardware synths :: Pearl Drums/Paiste Cymbals/Roland & Alesis Electronic pads.

    But be ready to have to re-authorise/activate some 3rd party plug ins. (It doesn't tell you that bit)

    Really?
     
    I performed the steps outlined by the article a few weeks ago and none of mine needed re-authorising.
     
    Do you have any specific examples paulo?

    Different things you can do.
    1.Copy the .dll of the missing plug-in into the cakewalk default .vst folder so it can find it easier.
    2.if you don't need the plug-in, then go into the plug-in manager under tools, open it, and under scan options make sure neither of the scan option boxes are selected. That way it won't scan everytime you start the program.

    Yup......
     
    EZ Drummer, Superior Drummer, BFD Eco, Sampletank, Miroslav, EastWest Colossus, Omnisphere...........
     
    Had particular problems with EZdrummer getting it to stay authorised afterwards. Kept putting in the auth code, it was accepted and would work fine. Close project, open again - Not Authorised ! Had to completely uninstall and re-install in the end to get it to stay authorised, all of which was a PITA as I don't even use it any more really, but just wanted it there for the benefit of revisiting older projects that may contain it.
     
    None of these issues existed prior to taking the re-set vst advice when X3 vst scan kept missing Sampletank and Miroslav even though they worked fine in 8.5PE.
     
    Got there in the end, but Miroslav will still only work in X3 32 if I open as admin. X3 64, no problem.  X3 also doesn't like LP64eq in older projects for some reason and I keep getting messages on opening projects that contain it, that it's not there, so I have to remove it from the fx bin, add to fx bin from menu again and then it's ok, except settings have gone obviously.
     
    Again didn't seem to be an issue before the re-set.
