I don't know what's wrong with waves plugins, but I bought Waves Electric Piano 200 and Musicians 2
for 9 usd . All installation went very well with Waves Center, but I can't find any of new plugins with Sonar
Platinum or either  Reaper, only old plugins works like trueverb etc.

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.

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.




 I don't keep them on sticks anymore.  You don't even have to do that with iLok  anymore and most iLok based plugins allow two machines.  Waves on the other hand still has it's annoyances.   IK, Melda, D16, any other developer not named Waves ....rarely has the "can't find my plugin" issue. 
 I have to machines and when Waves goes on sale I buy licenses for the other machine.  Yep they are a bargain but comes with hassles.

Probably a dumb suggestion, but did you do a VST scan?

And see Post #6 herein.

IMO people that have "problems" installing/locating Waves plugs may have not spent the time to thoroughly understand the Waves paradigm. Mostly it seems these are the people who expect the Waves paradigm to match other plug vendors' install paradigms. It doesn't and b!tch!ing about it won't change it. 
 
If you can, call Waves support and have them walk you through the process. They will even use Team Viewer if you allow them and you can see first hand how to do it.

IIRC when I initially installed it, in Sonar IMPusher was automatically placed within the Mastering subsection (in my setup, right next to Ozone 7 etc..).
IMPusher is a very cool fx plugin......easy to get good results on practically any instrument in the mixing stage (haven't used it in mastering).

 I always have mine sorted by vendor.
