Thanks for all the replies. I signed in and did the install several hours ago, so I am hazy on the details. (Plus I am not a power user and have only started back in with Sonar recently.) As part of the install I did activate the licenses. I am not sure about the Woli, but I think that it was part of what I accessed.
I thought I followed their instructions, using their install-shield routine of some sort. I just used all their defaults for locations for the folders. That might have been a mistake.
I am using the IR1 right now, but can't access any presets. That may be because this is the demo.
I finally found a discussion on this from last year. I tried the instructions there, . Here is one of the posts along with a link to it:
"OK, I think I have sussed it so I have marked this thread solved
I will post where I have everything as the WAVES installer seems to put everything in the wrong place and with the recent offer I am sure others will come unstuck
To get the VST3 versions working this is where you need to put everything:
Find where the WAVES installer has put the plugins - in my case i was: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves"
In this folder is a folder called: "Plug-Ins V9"
You need to put a copy of this whole folder here: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"
In this folder you need to have the file: "WaveShell-VST3 9.3_x64.vst3"
If you don't have this file in your VST3 folder you can get it from the original WAVES install folder - which in my case was: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves"
In the "Waves" folder is a folder called "Waveshells" and in here you will find the file "WaveShell-VST3 9.3_x64.vst3", which you can copy and put in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" folder
et voila!"
