2. As I said. I excluded ALL exe files inside the addon manager folder. Only the screenshot is to small to show them all.
They seems to be displayed in Alphabetical order, so Couatl_updater.exe is missing.
I just had a remote assistance session with another user that had a problem similar to yours: Addon Manager and Coautl menu showing, but GSX missing from the menu and always in Trial.
The problem was his SODE was outdated: he had version 1.6.3, but the current GSX requires at minimum 1.6.7, which is supposed to be automatically installed by GSX ( only the full installer, the Live Update won't update SODE ).
I manually downloaded SODE 1.6.8 from the website:

Be sure you click "Register" in ALL the installed simulators from the SODE Platform manager because, if you have multiple sim installed, you must activate SODE in all of them, so it shows in Green.
