I tried the demo and found that it makes a copy of every plugin in the VST directory. This took up a lot of wasted disc space so I uninstalled it. Only to find that all the copies were left on disc so I've had to manually uninstall them all.
This is seriously annoying and even if there is a button that uninstalls all these copies within the plugin it does not make this clear when installing or setting it up.
I just want to warn anyone who tries the demo that this can happen. Imagine if you have a lot of plugins in your VST directory. You'll be deleting for hours. Not a nice scenerio.
I hope the devs read this and consider making this very clear when installing/setting up the plugin.
PlugAdmin Warning!

And when I registered a plugin demo in Cakewalk's VST-DX Adapter it registered all the PlugAdmin plugins so I had to de-register all VST plugins, delete the PlugAdmin versions and then re-register all my VST/VSTi's.
Not the end of the world, I know, but irritating nonetheless. If you use Sonar then I'd be wary of using PlugAdmin.
I didn't get the chance to see if PlugAdmin was useful.

Yeah just demoing this app made a complete mess of my files.
The trick I used to clean it up was to do a windows search of "plugadmin" after uninstalling and deleting all results.
