Sorry to hear about the hip RobbyK.  I bought new ones and had them installed  one in 1999 and the other in 2010.  I must say to anyone who may be hesitant to have a hip replaced ... what a great and wonderful relief!!!  Is the $129 nprice tag an upgrade price? From what little I've learned that's not too bad if it's for the production package with the other goodies thrown in.  
 
 

Mine is just shattered, no surgery but no walking for 3- 5 months!
 
The upgrade price for the Nectar Production Suite is more than $129, I just received a quote for $179.00 for that package.

scook; rhymes with book 

... as contrasted to scook that rhyms with "kook"

I downloaded Addictive Drums.  Is it supposed to integrate seamlessly with X3 Producer?  I can't locate it anywhere in  X3's Audio FX listings (that include Sonitus,  z3ta+ etc).    As to getting Nectar (Elements??) I've jotted off a support request to see if I can find out how it made available.  Meanwhile any clues are appreciated. 

It will automatically show up if the dll was installed in SONAR's VST scan path and automatic scanning is enabled. Most plug-ins do not automatically install in SONAR's default VST directory. Typically, installers provide a way to specify where to install the VST dll. The scan path is maintained in Preferences > File > VST Settings. If the path is not in SONAR preferences either copy the plug-in into the existing scan path or add the path to preferences.

Look in the tabs on the upper left of Sonar and click insert. Choose soft synth, VST2 and see if Addictive drums 2 shows up.

Who is it in this forum that suggests something special about the expression D'oh?  It may apply here!  I found XLN's "drums" and "keys" under the pull-down menu called (of all things) "INSTRUMENTS"!

Cool! Now setup your account at xlnaudio and you'll have a free Nectar Elements link.
 They also have a couple of bundles of presets for it free at Izotope.

I have tried a couple of times to find Nectar Elements on the XLN Audio Account I set up  earlier this evening.  I may be missing something but I see it nowhere!

Hi Conrad, after you login to your account, there is a link at the top that reads "My Account." When you click on that, the page that comes up will have products you own. At the very bottom should be a section of "Third Party Products" including Peavey Revalver HPSE and iZotope Nectar Elements.
 
For some reason I thought you had X3 Studio; but if you have Producer and do not see these listed, I suggest sending an email to XLN audio and ask about these.
