Just recently purchased 3 plug-ins from Waves.
After installing them on my computer, they appears on my C drive as follows; Programs files (x86), Waves, Plug-ins V9.
When I open Sonar X3 I cannot locate these plug-ins in either VTS or VTS3.
When I go to the Manage Plug-ins menu, they are not there either.
What did I do wrong?
What can  I do to correct the situation?
 
Thank you for any help. When it comes to this type of operation, I am quite a novice.

The plugin files are actually installed in a cache in C:/Users/Your user name/ appdata/ local/Waves audio.

The files that are important for Sonar to find are the Waveshell*.dll files which will be in the Program Files/Common Files/VST3
And whatever your default VST 2 plugins folder is.

It's those folders that Sonar needs to scan. In fact if you're making use of VST3 plugins (which you should) then the only path Sonar needs is to the VST3 folder which it should already have as there are some VST3 logins already included with Sonar.

I'm having the same problem with my Dimension Pro plugin and although I pointed to it's dll directory from Sonar's Plugin manager Sonar doesn't see it! I'm using Sonar Professional 2016 64 bit version.

You should start another thread as it gets a little confusing trying to solve 2 problems on 1 thread.
But for what its worth, your plug in manager should already be pointed in that direction (its sonars default path)
Which is: C\Program files\Cakewalk\VST Plug ins.
 
You should also look at the insert FX plug ins menu as there are a few different modes to insert plug ins (Vendor, Type, Category, exc)

Thanks for the tip but I thought it was the perfect place to post because of the specific problem which I haven't seen this anywhere else in this forums.

Did you transfer the Waves licence to your computer? It could be still in your Waves Licence Cloud.
 
Launch Waves Central >Manage Licences
Find your licence in the list and then move it to your computer.

If you still need help, let me know and I will help you

Thank you for the info.
As the softwares appear on my computer in the following fashion:
C drive
     Program files (x86)
             Waves
                    Plug-ins V9
                           RBass. bundle
 
I am therefore presuming that they are properly installed on my computer.
When I try to locate them via Manage Plug-ins, I cannot locate them. They do not show.
