Yes I spoke to Softube tech support and they say they are working on it but it's not an easy problem to solve.Still my options are ditch Win 10 and go back to Win 7 or stick it out hope the fix is soon and more important hope S Plat runs them ok.

I wouldn't be surprised if installing the demo fixes the issue with X2 if the problem is in the VST scanner. The VST scanner is shared by all versions of SONAR. Installing the demo will update the scanner.

Well whichever way it goes I'll come back and let everyone know.

im not sure if this solve your issue but its worth noting.
also make sure your windows update is current. some use their DAW's off line so it needs to be said.
update windows to newest possible.

Thank you yes both Sonar and WIndows 10 are the latest versions with all updates applied.

There are lots of fixes and enhancements to the vstscanner since X2. As Scook said if you install the demo it will update the scanner as well so will get the scanner fixes.
Softube plugs work quite well in Platinum and we have Console 1 updates coming for them when their new release is ready.

Thanks Noel I will be downloading the Platinum Demo today so hopefully I will be
able to use my Softube plugins again and have an up to date DAW as a bonus.

So I downloaded the Sonar Platinum Demo today and ran it.
It scanned all my VST folders with no problems except for Softube.
I still get the error message that it wont run,this is what I get.
 
timed out waiting to connect to named pipe

Any help appreciated.
 
 

They work for me. Maybe try a reset and rescan and if that doesn't work, put the VST2.4s into a bullpen folder and just scan the VST3 versions. I can imagine it is darn frustrating for you-- softube make GREAT plugins. I would like Tilt EQ as a prochannel module
 
edit: just a thought... I use iLok dongle, are the other people who use the dongle having problems?
 

OK Problem Solved
The clue is in the error message
\\.\pipe\com_paceap_eden.licensed_authorisation
 
Pipe is a software protection programme designed to stop illegal copying of software.
In my case the software was not up to date so I simply ran the iLok  Licence Installer programme
and it updated the Pace software.
 
Now when I run Sonar Platinum my Softube plugins work.
However they still do not work in Sonar X2 Producer so I have deleted it.
The plugins still don't work in other DAW's I have on my system so I am not saying
the problem is fixed for anything other than Sonar Platinum.
