Got Mushroom Pusher, installed, activated, where the hell is it?
 One thing for having more than one Daw they will at least show up in one.  It's times like these where the rocket science activation and installation is where I'm blinded by Waves deals that make me forget the crapshoot that is usually involved in Waves.
 
 I'm still a fan of individual installers.  For some reason they work. 
 
 I would bet the #1 developer of where did my new plugin go is Waves. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

bummer, hope you get it sorted out.
 
i've never had an issue with it, always been a simple straightforward process for me

I keep my licenses on a USB flash drive...so after doing the "easy install and activation", which installs the license to your computer, I have to go to "manage licenses" and move it to my flash drive. Then, of course, Sonar has to rescan the waveshell.

i never use the easy install and activate thingy. i always just manage licenses, flick the license to my usb flash drive, then install, select plug to be installed, install, fire up daw, it scans and away i go

I remember demoing Mushroom Pusher and having trouble finding it because the actual plugin in SONAR was called something odd, so it didn't show on searches for expected common words.

The actual plug in is C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V9\vitamin.bundle
 
But that is NOT what you scan in SOANR (or any other PC based DAW).
 
You should scan the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\WaveShells V9" path
 
Because that is where either WaveShell-VST 9.6.dll or WaveShell-VST 9.6_x64.dll are located.
 
It's a little different than what you would expect, but it works 100% of the time for me.
 
Now if you have the VST3 installed then the shell is in 
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3"
or 
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"
 

I think the actual plugin "name" is IMPusher might want to search for that in the plugin browser.
 

For a few of the demo things I tried from Waves I had to let Sonar "Rescan" plugin folders. Then they all showed up.
 
But most of the time Waves plugs flawlessly.

Thanks for the reminder. There are a bunch of Waves folders but THAT is the one. Close is not good enough.

Me too.  It's a bit of a pain.  makes me wonder why they don't let you go straight to the flash to start with.
