Solved-Plug-in manager can't find my new Wave plug-in--first time this problem

I have recently left my old company and had to (wanted to) purchase a lot of the waves plug-ins as the plug-ins were part of my old work. Up until now everything has installed fine but the latest purchase-Maserati GRP. I have all my licenses of course going through Waves Central and have moved all licenses to a USB drive. Waves Central says the drive is there.
 
I am not new to the Plug-in manager and have "added" about every folder that I can think of that would house the new plug-in and re-scanned but to no avail.
Where is the little sucker? How can I locate it?
 
Sigh--10:40 pm and hungry.
I hate going to bed with things like this hanging in the air. It's easy for me to leave my work until the next day, but technical issues drive me up a tree--maybe I'm a bit nuts but hey.
 
Thank you everyone.
Michael

thank you. Actually, what I did was re-install them all through cloud instead of using the licenses off my usb drive and it found it. Dan, so you just scan the one waveshell DLL? There isn't answhere where the plug-ins are listed by name. An yes, this is the first problem I add. It's like it was licensed but not installed--if that is possible. Anyway, going back and re-installing them all online did the trick.

Yes, just the VST3 waveshell DLL is all you need. I also installed the 64bit VST2 DLL, but I renamed it so Sonar wouldn't try to load it. It's there if I ever run into a problem with a VST3 plugin, but so far, I haven't had to use it.
 
The actual plugins are stored elsewhere, but the waveshell loads them, not Sonar.

i have come across this a few occasions when adding a new plugin, it would not show as available in the list, what i do is remove the path from sonars vst scan path in preferences, close it then re add the path and it re scans and all is good. a simple re scan would never do it for me but when it happens the above works for me every time. same thing happens in reaper when i add a new waves plugin, it doesn't show up and in reaper i just clear cache and rescan and all is good. i never experience the issue in studio one

is the vst3 waves shell in your program files\common files\vst3 folder?
 
are you moving things around from where waves central put them? it's been a long time since i originally installed waves first up, i can't recall if you have any options, but i would have just let it put things where it wanted. i think vst3 defaults to program files\common files\vst3 folder and perhaps 'has' to be there.
one thing i know is that if you are having problems, in the 1 or 2 times i have contacted waves support they have been very helpful, very fast, and very professional, no doubt the best support i have experienced by far, not that i have experienced a lot, but still

I have had luck with running Wave Central as Administrator when installed plugin does not show up.
Move the license to the cloud and then back to the local system while Wave Central is running as Admin.
