Why have most of my VST's gone into Demo mode?

Damagin

I've tried to reinstall said VST's, but now they do not allow me to reinstall at all, the download icon has been replaced with the grayed out, "!" icon. (Other than Kontakt 7)

I've attempted to reinstall Kontakt, but after attempting reinstall, I get the error of , "Installation Failed: Invalid Location" However, I've updated the location back to default, and to my various drives (x4) including the original location of Native Access, with the same error as before.

I do own the license of the Collectors Edition 13 bundle, and have used it for 2-3 years now. This issue is a first for me.

I found the solution, this was the issue.

Edit: I'm thinking it could be a license issue, but I've checked my accounts and all licenses are active.
