Dim Pro 1.5 registration issues on Win 8

I just installed Win8 on the DAW. So far so good except for a couple plugs not working.
 
I am having trouble registering Dim Pro though. Since I have multiple versions of SONAR, I have multiple licenses for DimPro.
 
I get the registration dialogue and enter the activation code. I then get an error telling me to enter it as I got it from the e-mail. When I copied the registration, there were no additional spaces before or after the registration number.
 
Thoughts?

Peace,

    Register using the stand alone version running as administrator using credentials with a serial number starting with CWDM15. I always cut and paste but some seem to have trouble with this method.

    It was the administrator thing. Thanks!
     
    Do you know how I get to run X3 in admin mode all the time without right clicking the program icon to start?

    Right-click the icon, it is under the Compatibility tab in the Properties dialog.

    Thanks again Steve. :)

    I have projects I recently opened in Win7 using DimPro that will not load DimPro when the project opens in Win8. Do  you know if there is a way, besides reinserting DimPro, to get the project to open DimPro?

    Is is possible the old installation had a DXi version of DimPro installed in addition to the VST?

    no, this was a new install of 1.5 on Win7. I tweaked the synth and I have no access to the presets. I can install the DimPro in the synth rack, but I will have to remember what I did and I have slept since then. ;)

    If I can download the project file from somewhere I will try to save the DimPro settings as a preset for you.

    Thanks Steve, I will try and get to that. I will requeue with a location. May not be till later though.  I am opening other projects to make sure I got everything installed.

    No problem, when and if you want me to look at it, I just need the project file not any of the audio.

    When Sonar is run with administrator permissions it is elevated and windows explorer, and many other tasks, are prevented from doing stuff like drag-and-drop with Sonar.
     
    Windows explorer cannot run as an administrator.
