VC-64 and other removed features

I think it would be terrific if Cakewalk would make the dll files for the removed VSTs like VC-64 available to just place in the VST folder so we don't have to go back and reinstall X2. I had to do a partial reinstall of X2 to get R-Mix back and now I'll have to do the same for VC-64. One of you guys want to just shoot the dll to me? Thanks

I don't know that it needs to be repackaged, but access to an FTP site with the dll might be nice, rather than having to go through the installer routine again. But thanks. That's what I'll do. And thanks for the reply.

So who owns the VC plugin?

No kidding. And that's my point. I recently did a full OS reinstall with reformatting. Until that point I had all 3 Sonar X Producers on the machine and access to all previous plugins. Now I only have X3 installed but I still paid for the previous versions so it would be nice if the legacy plugins [that to my knowledge don't have sunsets on them] were available without having to go through a reinstall, however limited, of previous versions. I'm just saying it would be nice if we could just grab the dll from an FTP server or something. Just a convenience thing.
 
And one of the guys on one of the Facebook groups [where I originally posted this] said he can't even open his songs in X3 if they have VVocal on them because he doesn't have VVocal anymore. He said they were bounced to clips and frozen so that makes no sense to me. That's a problem, but he may have other issues.
 
Anyway, thanks for the responses.

That would constitute repackaging. It would be delivered in a format other than the original installer. I know it is a simple request and would be easy to do but when lawyers and contracts get in the mix, the simple may not be possible.

8.5 is on disk for me. Disc drives seem to be phasing out.  Not all laptops have them, I'm going to change mine for a SSD at some point. Download speeds making posting a disc outdated.Imagine Sonar 6X and someone saying, if you have the discs. Will people really have disc drives on new machines in 3 years time. Yet a clean install on a operating system not envisaged at the time the 8.5 was created will mean you have to forget some little gems you have paid the licence to use.
 
Surely their is another solution to this than installing old discs. We are licensed to use this stuff.

But can't we still go to our accounts and download from the list of purchases?  Why not move or copy that over to the 3C?  Or why not at least make available what other content which is not held by third-party license/contract?  Surely, all Cakewalk plug-ins can be added.  So what gives?
 
Kind regards,

So then all downloaded versions of SONAR can be made available in the 3C, thus all included plugins.  So what's the hang up?

So who owns the VC plugin?

VC-64 was a Cakewalk reskin of Kjaerhus Audio's Golden Audio Channel (http://www.kvraudio.com/product/golden_audio_channel_gac_1_by_kjaerhus_audio). That company,  which was either a one-man shop or very very small, went out of business years ago, leaving behind an angry throng of users who could no longer activate any plugin they bought directly from Kjaerhus with its challenge-response scheme.
 
I don't know if Cakewalk has the ability to contact the company's founder and secure any additional rights for VC-64, but honestly, there are much better plugs out there these days.
