This may be helpful to many using Sonar and also Studio One.
My Studio One VST paths had some Cakewalk locations at the top of the list. Then I added the unlocked versions of Applied Acoustics Lounge Lizard, Strum and Ultra Analog. But Studio One sees the locked versions first and uses them instead. When they open they say Sonar Edition and make no sound.
I contacted them and they assured me the versions they linked me to did not say "Sonar Edition" on them.
Try finding that VST path and move it to the bottom (or the correct one to the top).
Good luck.

Just checked and it is fixed now. It may work for your issue also.
