[Solved] Upgraded to Breverb Full version but can't use other hosts

When attempting to use BREVERB 2 in "Brainspawn Forte 3", I got message "This Plugin is only licensed to be used in Cakewalk SONAR X2 and above". So I upgraded to FULL VERSION by purchasing the upgrade to Full version on the Cakewalk Store website. BUT AFTER UPGRADING TO FULL VERSION, IF I TRY TO USE IT IN "BRAINSPAWN FORTE 3", I STILL GET message "This Plugin is only licensed to be used in Cakewalk SONAR X2 and above". How do I get the "full version that I just purchased" to work in hosts other than Sonar?
 
Edit: I also discovered that Breverb is not upgraded in Sonar. Still has version 2.0.10
The new version that I can launch as standalone from Windows programs menu is version 2.1.6 
Its as if the installer only installed the standalone and did not install the updated Plugin. Can't find a dll file for upgraded version.

Don't use the BREVERB 2 Cakewalk-64.dll or BREVERB 2 Cakewalk.dll, use the full version BREVERB 2-64.dll or BREVERB 2.dll. The upgrade is a completely separate product not simply a change to the bundled BREVERB.

The solution:
 
The installer put the dll in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins
 
I think the standard VST Plugins folder is normally:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VstPlugins
(that is where I always put my VST files)
 
I added 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins' to the list of VST folders in Sonar and Forte 3
 
I now have both the Cakewalk bundled version AND the new full version. 
And I can use the full version in Brainspawn Forte (which is the only reason I upgraded to full version).
 
Also wondering, since there were some other VST's in the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins', why does this get confused? Shouldn't all programs put VST's in same folder. Maybe I accidentally created the second VST folder and it got used. Anyone else finding more than one VST folder on their computer? (I realize there is a 32 bit and 64 bit VST folder, I am not talking about that)

The VST3 spec provide standard locations for plug-ins. VST2 has some commonly used paths but there are no specified locations. Most installers show plug-in default installation paths and provide a way to change them. The Overloud installers that I have run alllow path changes.
