I own ACID PRO 9 but SONY FX plugins are in DEMO

I own a legal copy and installation/registration of ACID PRO 9 - it works except the SONY plugins all show DEMO MODE which puts clicks and pops in the audio all over the place. has anyone had this experience. Just to be clear - the only hardware I have changed is my SOLID STATE Drives and I have had to change my DAW interface a few times - Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 to and 18i6 - then in a unfortunate pinch I had to add a PreSonus AudioBox. The other software I run is REAPER which is my primary DAW - I only got ACID so I could move old projects to REAPER.

Version 9.07 build 36 - 32 and 64 bit editions.

Glenn, exactly which plugins are in Demo? Synths? Because there are synths which are "suite" exclusive.

@Glenn-Reynolds

You mention you changed your SSDs. I assume this means you actually changed all your former SSDs or HDDs and transferred your OS and all your software to them? If so, that could be the reason. Changing those drives would, in effect, create a "new computer" (with new IDs etc.). It is entirely possible that your Sony plugins are seeing this as a "new installation", which requires some kind of re-authorisation.

As to how you carry out such re-authorisation, unfortunately I have no idea, sorry.
