External plugins not working in Elements 8

Cubase
1

Hi I’m new to this and wondered if anyone had any idea on why external plugins I’ve downloaded are not showing up in my Cubase Elements 8.
I’ve downloaded SSD5 free along with Beatskillz and Drummica but none of them are visable when I try to open them as a VST Instrument track.

I’m wondering if Elements 8 doesn’t allow external plugins?

Thanks, Stew

Elements 8 doesn´t allow external Plugins. But you are probably talking about third party plugins…!?
