Thanks SteveInChicago. That makes sense that the HALion Symphonic Orchestra is a VST instrument and not a plug-in albeit i’m still unclear as to the difference. Oh well, it is what it is.
I still find it a bit odd that even the VST instruments i have do not list HALion Symphonic Orchestra but rather Symphonic. Without your hint to search for Orchestra i would still be floundering in utter frustration thinking that the trial version is different from the for real install.
HSO is now also available as a separate plug-in, like Dark Planet, Hypnotic Dance, and Triebwerk.
If you install the trial, it will show up as “Symphonic Orchestra”. Of course, you can also still load the presets within HALion, HS, or HSSE.

The problem with that is for first time buyers/users. No read me file that i could find tells me to look for “Symphonic Orchestra”. In my way of thinking it should show up as HALion Symphonic Orchestra.
