Hi, I may be going a little off-topic here, however I am presenting my experience below, hoping it helps someone in similar situation: Note: My PC has Windows 7 64-bit version. 1. When I started installation of Cakwalk Sonar thru Bandlab Assistant, the installation looked like it got stuck at "downloading (5/5)" 2. Thru a bit of searching within Bandlab-assistant I found the "download" folder where the files associated with (1/5) to (5/5) were stored. 3. I cancelled the process of "downloading (5/5)" by clicking on [X] next to this downloading message. 4. I found Cakewalk Setup file in the download folder (Refer attached image)... double-clicked on it and in due course Cakewalk got installed. 5. However when I ran Cakewalk for the 1st time, I got alert-message on Cakewalk window that I needed to activate this software thru bandlab assistant. At this moment the Bandlab Assistant was not running. 6. I started Bandlab Assistant from the Windows 7 Start button's drop-down list, and started login process. After going thru successful login process, (while the Cakewalk Sonar was still open in another window)... I observed that the Cakewalk Sonar automatically showed an "Alert-window" stating Cakewalk has been activated. 7. Since I am new to this whole midi /DAW business, I don't know whether "activated" means it will save newly created file or not, however the above experience shows that successful login to Bandlab Assistant AFTER launching Cakewalk Sonar, does "activates" Sonar. Hope the above helps in people facing similar alert-message of "...cakewalk not activated". Regards,

When I started installation of Cakwalk Sonar thru Bandlab Assistant, the installation looked like it got stuck in "downloading (5/5)" stage. 2. I cancelled the above mentioned downloading by clicking on [X] icon next to the downloading message. 3. While searching thru Bandlab assitant app, I found the "downloads" folder where the files of states (1/5) to (5/5) were downloaded (Refer attached image) 4. I started Cakewalk Sonar setup file kept in same download folder. After usual setup installation process, Cakewalk Sonar got installed, however my PC hung up, so I re-started it. 5. When I started Sonar for first time, I saw an alert-window informing that the Sonar wasn't activated and I should activate it thru Bandlab Assistant. (At this moment, Bandlab Assistant was not started since after aforementioned re-starting of PC, Cakewalk Sonar was the only software started) 6. I started Bandlab Assistant software (while Sonar was still open in another window), and went thru its login process. 7. After sucessful login in Bandlab Assistant, I observed another alert-window, informing that Cakewalk has been activated. Though I have not tested it, I believe now the Sonar can create and save new files. Hope the above helps others who have faced similar issue of "Sonar not activated"
