So its checking who you are (moot point) therefore a digital ID check. 😇😇 semantics. J

Its just the way it is today, unfortunately. I’ve had my Disney, EA and other accounts hacked, and it was no fun getting them back. So now i embrace the F2A checks. If it stops crooks using my accounts then i’m all for it. I use the MS system like @Rain and after a year of changing / securing passwords etc i’m glad i have it and yet i still see 16 year old morons trying their best to get into certain accounts of mine and from all over the world. Kenny, YMMV, but i’m happy having it. J

For those of us with a 1st or 2nd gen Scarlett unit here is the solution : https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207546775-Does-the-Scarlett-range-have-loopback J

Sign out via the help menu then close the app. make sure no browsers are open (Edge, Firefox etc) then re-open Sonar and sign in via the Help Menu. That should work. J

Thats Sonar, not CbB ! The OP should use Cakewalk Product Centre it can handle off line authorisation. Yes i know, you have to be on-line to install it, but thats no biggie. J

I tried to reply to you suggesting a registry clean up manually or with an app but my reply got the pink "needs to be approved" Good Luck, J

Steinberg products, Fruity Loops (along with Magix) ………….. and no. They’re not better. They just take less long to get out of the registry 😜 J

So do i. But what i said was a warning that the Magix driver will get installed, you like it or not. Took me 30mn to get rid of mentions of it in the Registry. J

I updated my laptop to W11 - turned on TMP and Secure Boot in the Bios, and converted the HDD to gpt. The i5 processor failed the test though. Personally, I found the Rufus method long winded and not easy to follow. So I used this method : Insert a DWORD value in the registry. AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU And it worked. You can Google it at arstechnica.com. Of course, back up your registry first, and if you do take this route, its at your risk. What worked for me may not work for you. J

I have updated to the latest version. It does not crash. Have you tried loading in Safe Mode thus by-passing any dodgy VST's ? Have you tried up-dating the redistribs ? Something maybe amiss with your OS (touchy subject I know but......). Unless you publish the details/recipe, how can anyone help you ? Or open a ticket with support and send them a crash dump, they can probably bail you out. Hope you get it sorted, J

No I doubt it very much with these sort of deals ! Edited : this is a great deal ....... but it will install the nefarious Magix Low Latency Asio driver, beware. J

May the force be with you ! J

Have you tried using the Advanced option of the installer or do you simply let it do its thing ? You don’t actually say. Personally I always choose Advanced so I can check where things go. And it works. J

Grossly too expensive for me. And to be honest i don’t really need it. J

I would have done it but the Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is the CE version……. The rest i don:t care about. J
