Okay, I appreciate the help! I'll probably do as much as I can before time runs out and then maybe upgrade to the latest cakewalk

Whenever I try and refresh the activation, it won't work, even after I log in, and try multiple times, it says: "Unable to refresh activation. Please try again later. (0,406)" I'm not sure how I can fix this, I am using an older version of cakewalk, Version 2022.11 (Build 021, 64 bit), could that be why? preferably I'd like to not update it as I don't want to risk it treating my project files differently and thus changing my mix. I'm running out of both time to use the software and time to get the activation before they stop giving them out forever, and I really need it because I have 2 projects that I've been working on and need to finish before I can move on, as Sonar doesn't quite accurately translate (for some reason, inside the DAW, the music is REALLY loud and the dynamics are all off, yet on the export it sounds the same as in Cakewalk (Cakewalk sounds the same in DAW and on export), but I can't rely on the DAW for the mix if it sounds different on export) and I want to get these done before it's too late. I appreciate any help, thank you!

Okay so, When I select my entire project, set everything up, and try to export it in Wave, MP3, or Flac (I haven't tried other ones) it just closes around 1/4 to 3/4 through, no "cakewalk ran into a problem" or anything like that, it just crashes. I tried restarting my computer, that didn't work, would like some help! Oh and I nearly forgot: Intel Core i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.99 GHz 7.90 GB usable RAM (I got a pretty weak laptop lol)

Well, for some reason, it works now! I literally opened and closed it about 3 times to no avail, but now a day later it's working, I have no idea what I did unfortunately, but it's not really a problem anymore. (I am not using the latest cakewalk by the way, perhaps it was just a bug, I really don't know, thanks anyways!)

So, here is the problem: If I set my plugin to Write, and I say for example use a panner plugin, I can drag the sound around in the panner plugin, and that data will show up in the graph as it is written down; but as soon as I pause/stop it all disappears. This happens when I have Read set to either on or off, and the issue stays even if I close the program and open it up again. I have never had this issue before; any help would be greatly appreciated!
