So, when I bought and downloaded the diamond edition, downloaded the premium modules re-installer, and tried to play witch's wake, it's only the demo. This also happened in Kingsmaker and Shadowguard, all three ending as if they were a demo. I tried re-installing and re-downloading the modules, but they still don't give me the full version. Is there a way to get it to run the full version?
Could you explain the problem in more detail? Do you get an authentication screen and an option to launch demo? Could you check your "premium" folder in the game directory and tell us what files you have inside (or show a screenshot)?

If you have *.DAT files there with names corresponding to premium modules' names, then they should launch without telling you there's a need to authenticate.

If you don't have them, try to uninstall premium modules (uninstallers should be present in "premium" folder as well) and launch the premium module re-installer again.

I did not get an authentication screen, it went straight to the character creation/select premade character menu when I clicked to load the module. I checked the premium folder, and I do have the .DAT files for all three of them. Also inside the folder is the uninstallers for them as well.

That's very odd. I'd try uninstalling premium modules (with these uninstallers in "premium" directory) and re-installing them. Not sure if it will help, but I'd give it a shot.

I just tried doing it again, but still nothing. It ends as if it's still a demo.

Did you try the premium installer from the neverwintervault? And the offline authenticator without which you won't be able to run them? (only load existing games, but new ones won't work)
Can you describe what you mean by "ending as if they're demos"? Because I don't know about Shadowguard, but I played Witch's Wake and Kingmaker, and they are not complete stories. They have conclusions, but they were intended from the beginning to be series, and were never completed because Atari ended the premium module program. Do you get anything that could be considered an ending, or is there actually a screen telling you that you're playing a demo?

You shouldn't have used a Premium Module re-installer in the first place.

Shadowguard, Witches Wake, and Kingmaker are just part of the Diamonds install and just work.

Witches Wake is still so short it might pass for a demo though.

Maybe do a complete Diamonds Reinstall without 3rd party tools that should not be needed.

The re-installer is required to use if you changed your CD keys from GOG's defaults to your personal ones. Plus you need to run the re-installer each time you're changing your keys.

But it actually can't hurt to re-install them, even if it's not needed. If full Diamond reinstall helps, it's not because of re-installing premium modules earlier.

I got the credits and the screen telling me to purchase them from bioware. Witch's wake ended, for me, after i had gotten into the mines and talked to the elf, and shadowguard ended right after i got onto the boat after I found out that the father was assassinated and the city was destroyed. I didnt try playing kingsmaker fully, because i assumed it would just stop me and tell me to buy it from bioware.
To everyone who posted offering tips and advice, thank you very much. I have removed all of neverwinter, since i have beaten all of the main stories, and am going to move to neverwinter 2. Thank you for taking some time to post and offer assistance to me.

That is, in fact, the end of the module. As I mentioned before, it was intended to be a series, but this one was the only one that was ever made. I can certainly understand why you took it for a demo. It was the shortest of the ones that I played.

Pirates of the coast , wyvern crown of cromyr
are the more popular ones.

Darkness over Daggerford was in development module but was canceled.... so the company finished it anyways and released it for free.

Tyrants of the Moonsea and Hex Coda were never finished
all of which are 'official'

For neverwinter nights 2 MOTB is considered by most the best.
some also like Zephyr ... few like the first one i didn't think it was that bad...
