Update CbB via thumb drive ?

[mark skinner]

 Hello,  I went into "demo mode" this morning.  Is there an easy reliable way to update assistant , and Cakewalk on an offline pc with a flash drive ??  If so , I could use the details ..    I will eventually  run internet to my studio , but for now that's pretty low on my list.  "Thanks" for any info ....   Mark

It is possible to install BA and CbB from a thumb drive but there is no way to activate CbB without an internet connection.

"Thanks"  for the quick response ,  I'll take everything to my house for the updates .   In the future , could I update from thumb drive,  if I do it before I hit the 6mo. check in ?       MS

As Scook said. Installation - yes, Activation - no.

An update consists of both those things.

That 6 month thingy is because you don't have to activate every time you make an update installation.

Regardless of how the program is installed and updated, it will need to refresh its activation periodically. Currently the timeout is set to 6 months. Connecting the PC to the internet while installing and updating is the best way. This also activates the program.

"Thanks again"  I believe running internet just moved further up the list..    Later ...  mark
