(SOLVED) Kush UBK-1 w/ JBridge?

I had a few issues with crashing the other day (in X3b).  So far, nothing has been an issue AT ALL, until I tried to run BFD3, and it worked for the most part, but periodically would just shut down Sonar, with no crash report or anything, just, one second it was working, next second, no record of Sonar even being open at all.  Just blank screen.
 
I did some research (always had issue with BFD2, was hoping BFD3 would fix the issues in Sonar).  I read that JBridge helps some people, so I bought that, switched it up so now BFD3 runs through JBridge (instead of BitBridge), and it SEEMS like everything is fixed?  As far as I can tell?
 
I opened Windows Task Manager, and was keeping an eye for anything that might still be using BitBridge, and the only other plugin that I run (as far as I can tell) that was still running under BitBridge, was Kush UBK-1.  It's not a vital part of my mixing, but I think it adds some cool colors to things, so I would like to be able to use it.  I tried to run it under JBridge (Plugin Properties - Load Using JBridge Wrapper)... Shut everything down, restarted Sonar, and Kush UBK-1 is still running under BitBridge.  The Plugin properties still SAYS that it will run using the JBridge Wrapper, but Task Manager still says it's using BitBridge, and the "JBridge Bar" at the bottom of the plugins it's running, isn't showing up for UBK-1.
 
Has anybody happened to successfully run Kush UBK-1, using JBridge in Sonar?  If so, any suggestions on something I might be missing, when trying to force it to run using JBridge?  Any way to permanently disable BitBridge? 
 
Just curious, since I only have about one day worth of experience using JBridge, so I'm not THAT familiar with it yet.

    ACTUALLY... ha... I'm stupid.  After doing some more research, I realized that Kush released a 64-bit update for the plugin, so I just downloaded that, installed it, and it's all good now.  For some reason, I was so stuck on making the "BitBridge to JBridge" transition, that I didn't even think to look to see if Kush had released a 64-bit version yet.  So... Yeah, it's all good now I guess.  I haven't had time to really test to see if this solved my crashing issues, but it's a step in the right direction at least.  Thanks for the quick response!  I'll mark this as solved...

    Yes!  UBK-1 is indeed awesome, especially now that I figured out how to use it without BitBridge.  I keep thinking that "I wish all of these manufacturers would release 64-bit versions of all of their plugins already."  The problem now is, I always forget to actually CHECK to see if they've been updated.  I'm so used to other software updating automatically and stuff.  I wish the same could be said about plugins. 
     
    But yeah, UBK-1 is like a box of crayons for me.  Most compressors I use "specifically to do compression work" or whatever, and I don't REALLY get very creative with them usually.  UBK-1 though, I'll throw that in on some random track, crank all of the knobs wildly, and just experiment.  It really is a cool option to have.  Glad I'm not the only person that enjoys it!

    I don't have it yet (other expensive software got in the way) but a studio I worked at before had it and I thought it was great. Used the parallel mode a lot, and as you said, it's really inviting to experiment. It just sounds so good no matter what you dial in. I should really get it but I usually wait for a nice bundle or discount price and I haven't seen one yet.
