VB3 Can't save licence file

Hi all 
Bought a licence for VB3 last night, and copied licence data into the GUi. I get a message saying "ERROR! Could not save the licence file". The GUI then shows it IS registered to me, all working fine. However, next time I open VB3 in Sonar it is back in demo mode (presumably because the licence wasn't saved).
 
I am running a Windows 10, 64 bit machine, 16GB RAM, i7 6400. I have asked the developers the question, and they promise an answer by Tuesday...
 
..anyone had this before and can help over the weekend?

    That's weird. I just reinstalled everything after buying an SSD and I had no problem authorizing VB3. I'm running Windows 7 though.

    it depends where your vst folder is - if it's under the "program files" tree then it gets extra security, hence the "run as admin" which allows modifying stuff therein

    I was pretty sure I bought this VSTi once. Yet I cannot find any email with the reg code.
     
    I've emailed them. Hopefully they will find mine if it exists.

    My name is Ed. I Am still bapu though.
