I can send a PM for you if you wish; cannot guarantee anything though. I see there are 6 call back slots available on Jun 8 right now.

Scook, your exactly right. I ran what a assumed to be the normal Cakewalk version fine, the first time. The next day when I loaded TH3, NONE of the components were available (all were grayed out), it then prompted me to authorize.
My only option was to run in demo mode.

It does run in the light version until one chooses to run it in demo mode and it's goodies kick in for a limited time.
 
Sounds to me like you wanted to check it out and chose the demo mode rather than playing with the light version and when the time limit expired you wanted to try to extend the time frame by reloading Sonar hoping to reset the demo time limit.
 
If you paid for authorization after the demo time limit expired I missed that part.
 
If I'm right...geeze, pay them for authorization to run it.
If I'm wrong...sorry and good luck.
 

Why should I have to pay for an authorization, when I should have the Cakewalk version?

 You shouldn't. I didn't say you should. I said if you liked it from running it in demo mode with all its goodies past the expiration then you may want to buy it-get it authorized.
Now it sounds like you want to run it in light version after you ran it in demo mode past the time limit.
Hope you figure it out.

I guess it's just a unique case. Thanks to all who've offered suggestions, hopefully Cakewalk will eventually help me get this straightened out. Until then I'll just have to be happy with my Amplitube plugs.
Thanks again.

[font="%value"]I don't have any crash issues, TH3 is blank unless I run in DEMO mode for 15 days at a time. I've rolled back the boutique effects and reinstalled, hoping that would correct the problem, but it didn't.

 This issue is not just in Sonar.  The demo popup window freezes in FL Studio.  The problem is TH3.

TH3 should work fine, but I've discovered that, when used as a plugin, hosts sometimes "choke" on it a bit. The reason seems to be that they expose ALL of their parameters for all available amps, cabs, effects etc... regardless of what is currently loaded and used.
 
So if you just have an amp and a cab - TH3 still provides the host with thousands of parameters. I've asked them to fix this so we'll see if one of the updates does, but this may just be a case of waiting a bit and see if the host catches up. Some hosts seems to handle it (Logic Pro X), but every time the playhead reaches a point where a midi command is sent to TH3 - the entire application freezes for a heartbeat. No impact on audio though. 
 
Seems not to be happening in our plugin host for live performance (Gig Performer), but this should really be addressed by the plugin creators themselves.
