Thanks Noel... Explanation much appreciated. He's got good internet (though he does live on the gulf coast of Florida) but I was in contact with him while he waited. I have never had more than 10's of seconds delay to activation after an update so I was a little concerned but thinking there may be a huge load on the server in our situation? 😉 But hey... He's an old guy such as I am so who knows what was going on down there while waiting! 😉

Hi Noel... I'm ok here, but I'm a bit confused... When performing an update, an activation is required and the experience by my friend yesterday showed more than a 2 hour delay in activation happening after update. So many people are confused, uncertain and bewildered... You might post a note informing them of such delays and reminding them to be patient even for that long!

Thanks Noel... I understand. I was reporting what a friend was doing as I can’t get him to use the forum. Out of frustration waiting so long fir activation and misleading popups he received, he was grasping at straws. I told him just to wait and be patient, but waiting hours was too much for him. Possibly for me too if I was in that position. He's fine now BTW...

Unless I’m mistaken, the system is just behaving extremely slow. Maybe overwhelmed by the number of simultaneous users requesting the same service?

Incorrect at the moment Will. This was an event that occured while doing an update and re-activation of this release. My friend waited over 2 hours for his re-activation to process and with no feedback from anywhere, was searching to comply with message received citing "please login to bandlab for reactivation"

If you plan on continuing to use CbB you will have to as very soon as all older versions will no longer function due to back end changes...

Am I the only one here? Feels strange. Friend tried to login to bandlab Assistant but was unable. Back end changes? Now 2 hours he's still waiting for activation! What's up? Ahhh! At last! He just texted me that it finally cleared! Wow! Think the server's a bit overloaded?

A friend just tried to update and receives a message to login to bandlab to activate but he can’t find any such. What is he missing? Is the server just overloaded?

Thanks Morten! It appears we of the final EA don't need to run any more updates. The last EA is the final release! Yay! Thanks for all your (and the team's) hard work! Looking forward to the future of the NEW Sonar by Cakewalk soon to appear! Best of luck to all!

Interesting. I'm sure to learn more about this as I begin using the software...

Not sure what the convoroom reverb is but if it's in there, I'm sure to find it!

Thanks Patrick... What was needed here ws to install the previous version 2.0.5 which installed fine, then updated it to 2.0.6 which is now installed and working fine!

Yeah, that was my impression as well. I still have a boxed copy if the original SampleTank from back in the floppy disk days! I find stuff all over the place inside SampleTank and constantly changing windows

That’s me for sure. I do mostly rock/jazz so I don’t often have orchestral needs! This stuff sounds (largely) great for me!

Wow! Amazing that this circumvented the problem. 2.0.6 now installed and working fine. Thanks again to all!

Really? I guess I can always re-install the older version again if not. Hopefully I won't have to re-install all the sounds! 😉

Yeah Baby! Got it working at last! Thanks for the cool software and the assistance getting it working. Reverting back to version 2.0.5 did the trick... Something it doesn't like in .6 I'm impressed so far. With all the complaining of how old and lo-fi (comparitive) this set is, I'm finding it quite elegant. I don't do a lot of orchestra but I'm sure these will be a big help!

Thanks again... That did it! It now opens in Cake just fine. Now downloading all the sound content!

Thanks KiteKrazy! Going to look into it now...

To offer more info... These are the two error messages I continue to get when vst scanner hits the Miroslav plugin...

This is getting painful Peter... What have I done wrong? Miroslav is installed and authorized, but the Cakewalk VST Scanner continues to fail when it hits this app. Claiming something about vpa files not loading and some kind of controller error? I just installed SampleTank once again but that didn't fix anything either. What am I missing? Why won't Miroslav load? Very typical windows 10 setup. All else is working fine including SampleTank...

Really? installing Sampletank might get Miroslav working here? I'm not happy installing stuff I won’t use. I abandoned SampleTank long ago. I just git blindsided into installing TRacks with all it's bloat simply to acquire the 670, and one each nobrand eq and compressor. Very unhappy!

Gotcha! Thanks Larry!

Not what I mean... I got the plugin. Product Manager sshows it as installed and authorized, but when I run Cakewalk's VST Scanner, it fails to load with two errors. One being something about controller? and the other unable to load .vpa file (whatever that is). So I've got it but can't get it working!

So it's working for everyone else? I guess I should try re-installing?
