Good mrng John I got ya however Ive checked and confirmed The BandLab Assistant I first had to dwnld and then this new version of the DAW is the only ones I'm showing but the funny thing I just spent like oh around 5 hrs setting my parameters and going ahead with a production test run with one of my songs which entailed 5 tracks nothing major but I added some reverbs and minor editing adjustments cololrs of tracks etc, ; it was very user friendly like the old Sonar I'm familiar with..and bam here's the red notice tag again! "Not Activated Cakewalk experienced a problem with activation. Please contact support (100) "
which when you click onto support leads down the same rabbit trail of not allowing any actual activations? lol Oh and I try saving my project to get online and dig a little deeper into the issue and a blue tag same size pops up "Not Able to safe due to Activation problem" So somethings up with DAW I've debugged my machine it's new etc ..
Others may want to really use a backup plan if you're planning on using this software package for any length of time and reliably based on my several weeks of experience.
