Sonar won't install Guru vst
I try to run the Sonar X3 producer trial, and when it loads Fxpansion's Guru vst plugin, I'm continually prompted for the serial number of Guru. Guru is already authorized, works in my other two hosts, and works in standalone mode. Any workarounds or known solutions to this? This is a show stopper for me at this point, if I can't run Guru.
thanks

No way to sugarcoat this, but Sonar is incapable of affecting your registration for other software. If i had to guess I would say you probably have another guru dll on computer and Sonar is found and unregistered copy when scanning. Check the file path of the dll being accessed in other programs and compare to path the one being used in Sonar is using. Bottom line is any message coming promting for a serial number is completely unrelated to Sonar.

Sadly, SONAR is able to affect registration of other (VST/DX) software - it can happen when SONAR crashes (thankfully rarely). In this case, I'd suggest that this is down to a registry permissions error, so run SONAR as administrator and try registering Guru then.

For some reason I have believed that it is always best to run Sonar with admin rights.

Forgot about the whole admin rights thing. I kind of do that on autopilot now.

I opened Sonar with administrator rights. The Guru authorization dialog box still opens up and won't accept the serial#. The plugin is already authorized. I've used it with MuLab and Samplitude. I was also using it with Sonar 6 and Project5 (which I had uninstalled prior to installing X3).
I'm also in contact with Fxpansion and will update here if I learn anything interesting.
thanks

Did you check the file paths? I mention this because that happened to me once because I somehow had the dll from a demo version of an fxpansion app on same computer as licensed one and scanner found wrong one. Longshot but worth a try

Yes, thanks. I searched my whole drive to make sure there was only one guru.dll present.

Yeah I'd start there. Maybe also a 32-bit/64-bit thing? I used to get those all the time. I'd tear GURU out and reinstall it. Do a reg clean in-between too. I use CCleaner but there are lots of freebz that'll scan it and pull out orphaned entries.

Still no love.
I gave up on Sonar X3 for now and re-installed Project5. Guess what? Guru and AAS Ultra-Analog say they are not authorized.
- they are authorized and I do not have duplicate copies of them on my computer.
- they work in every other host I own
I don't own Sonar, and Projec5 is discontinued, so I'm pretty much stuck now.

Hmmmm I can't speak for Guru, but i know that AAS products will give that message if you do not run with admin rights.

Contact Cakewalk. I have geist and AAS and never had any problem. Just a long short, did you ever change your motherboard and use new OS? I had problem with addictive drum which I change MOBO. That's because the authorization is tie to the MOBO in AD's case.

I'd contact Cakewalk but their contact support but you can only do that if you have select registered products. ie have a registered copy of Sonar.
I guess my only option to try and wipe Cakewalk products and Guru, and try again.

You do know that running a program as an administrator is different to running a program with administrator rights.
Right click the sonar icon and select Run as Administrator. Just checking as this is frequently confused.

Hi, yes I'm sure I'm running as administrator.
I'll just uninstall and reinstall everything.
