I cannot load the center because I have windows 7. I am getting the error 1401. I know its an old windows version but its a dedicated machine that stays offline most of the time and it has worked for years

You can't refresh or activate Cw\Bl earlier than Version 2024.12 with online or offline activation. Here's the fix: You need to download and install the NEW Cakewalk Product Center 1.0.0.079. Paste this in your browser: Installing, Updating Cakewalk Products through Cakewalk Product Center – Cakewalk Help Center This is the only place you will find Cakewalk by Bandlab as an "activatable" product. Run the installer and open the Cakewalk Product Center, find and select Cw\Bl and follow the instructions to update your Cw\Bl version. During this process, the licenses will automatically update. Will have to sign in (and out and in again) to Bandlab through Cakewalk\Help to finalize and be free of the nag screens. After that, you're smooth sailing. No need to jump to Sonar. Note there is also an "offline activation" option in the lower left which may also work, but I had no need to try it. Hope this helps, guys; let me know. Rock On!
