Since RC Astro plug in's are third party developments you will probably get a better answer by contacting RC Astro directly.
And by the way, the first thing to do is to verify that your equipment meets the requirements of the plug in in question.

Thanks for your input,
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both versions of Pixelinsight, versions 1.8.9.1 and 1.8.9.2
I have tried Repair mode for the software.
On version 1.8.9.2 there is an option under resources/updates/reset updates.
The directions to install the updates are to go to Resources/ updates/manage repository, click add, and place the link. I copied and pasted the link to avoid typos, clicked okay, and went back to the check for updates option. I've also tried manually keying in the link during this step.
It does load and update. I exit PI to complete the updates and restart PI
Upon opening, It shows the loading updates on start-up, where I found these errors.
I've seen threads where other members had the add-on disappear, and the way they solved it was by going to Process/module/ install modules, running search, and it finds the add on, they hit install. or okay, and it works.
As you mentioned, it is a third party Add-on (paid for and made exclusively for PI). I've sent a message for both PI and RC Astro, and I haven't received any help as of yet, and I'm at a standstill. Very frustrating since I was excited to use these specific software.
Can be a issue with the link
Can be PI software itself
Can be because I'm using a Trial Version of PI

Are you sure you are using the latest build of PixInsight?

I don't think it makes any difference to PixInsight. It might have some effect on the plug-ins; again, that's an RC Astro issue.
... so RC Astro had better make it work with PI ...
I'm going to check this, I'm sure I did but I will recheck
Yes, it's the latest
