I have also used Sonar for years. I had Platinum on my system and installed Cakewalk by BandLab over it and it all worked fine.

Recently however, I installed the Vienna Smart Orchestra which would not work in Cakewalk. After some research we found an old DLL had an issue that created a problem. I deleted some older software I had on the system which got shy of the problematic DLL. In doing this I did a fresh install of Cakewalk. Doing so I uninstalled Platinum now I can no longer install the Concrete Limiter or the LA-CA and some of the other olde instruments. (Not that it matters I have other tools to do the job). There is a warning that the program required (Platinum) to run the plugin no longer exists on the PC.

Just a bit of a warning for those rebuilding.
