Latest installer and product works for me.

@BapuJust to satisfy enquiring minds, since my W11 rig updated this morning, I can now get it to install and fire up but it won’t split a file, it just shows loading.  Have you tried splitting ? 

It appears it can’t read the AI model according to SC.

I’ve never see anything so ridiculous before. This takes rhe bicuit. 

i’m in France, I have this for my bank, Amazon, Paypal and various other shop services etc. I login then, they send an sms with a code which i input and i’m good to go. 99/100……… No biggie.

My telecom provider however gives me a choice - either using a password to login to their servers or using a pin code with a second code sent by their servers to my mobile. I never installed such an app on my iPhone, but obviously they are the provider who knows what they’ve hard wired in ……..

i find this second method intrusive. So for the moment I make sure remember my password.

It’s supposed to increase security…………

BUT, in your case,. I’d probably tell them where to put it and go elsewhere.

Seeing as how I had fired up the old computer I started looking to see if anything important should be copied from it for future. I found it had a 4th drive that was not connected so in that I found this. 

I'm on line now and the latest version is still installed and activated. I'm also logged into Bandlab. So the install ran normally and odd thing was the release notes opened and they are for the latest version. I will post that because this contains what we were told about offline activations as well as that older version cannot be activated. 

So I opened Cakewalk and got the warning about activation as well as proof that I had actually finally succeeded in installing an older version.

But this is once again a dead end because it will not activate. I am totally logged into this forum and to Bandlab. I even opened Google password manager to double check my user name and password all attempts to use those failed. So more proof that the developers are not lying to us and older versions are now history. 

So if you are going to spread misinformation please supply proof !

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to confirm what I posted above.

What is said and what is fact are quite often two different things. That is the only point here. When someone has a self-interest in what is said, it often reflects in what they say. The legacy Cakewalk servers are still online, so taking the activation server offline for CbB would support a self-serving reason.

Yeah ok, then the Bakers are wrong…….

I’ll try installing an old version.. Tomorrow,

No, you are.

That statement is not true. The bakers didnt say it, YOU did.

i suggest you read the above and i quote in case you can’t be bothered :

“Note: Because earlier versions of Cakewalk can no longer be activated, there is no rollback installer available for the 2023.09 release.”

so did i say it or not ? Oops. Hey, no worries,

I am still running 2022.06 and when people complained about the new 3-month activation window and the program being "disabled completely," I went in and manually re-activated it 2 weeks ago without issues. Spreading disinformation (regardless of how often it it is done), does not make it fact.

So what you’re saying is the Bakers are spreading  mis info ?

no... I keep all my previous update installers on the system in case I need to rollback. But those installers can be found here anyway: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/33-product-release-info/
By the way... steel works like a charm!

You can no longer roll back. There is only one installer for CbB that can be activated, and this by the internet . All the others don’t work/cannot be activated.

So you went on line to download and install it.? There is your answer. You were on line to install/activate it  = no nag screen. Think about it ……

I think the beauty of the mobile phone is its capacity to capture the ideas you have on the fly . The problem is, when you try and translate those ideas into workable songs in a DAW - do you start with rhythm guitar or percussion (i don’t do beats or similar “music”) ?

Given the “lack” of good tab in CbB, i use Guitar Pro to try and get my ideas straight. I can then get drums and bass sorted. Import the midi into CbB. Re do the bass and add guitar and keyboards if necessary.

I adree completely with @bats brew the modern  DAW is the way.

YMMV

Not just here but the Facebook groups have even double and nobody ever gets a correct answer which is simply “Log on to Bandlab”  You often see Re install Cakewalk as an answer. I keep my mouth shut on Facebook. I just look and see what the punters are up to these days as it’s very entertaining stuff.  

No, some of us do get it right and communicate thus via Facebook. We don’t advise the re-install route you think we do.

You maybe don’t belong to all the forums and therefore read all the posts - I know i don’t read them all… i can’t !

But there are some people on the various forums who know as much as you or i do ? and we communicate on this subject like you do.  No one is perfect.

No offense, but ……

I've been with cakewalk since msdos. No response from the beta, no word from anyone else.

From a broader perspective, a company announces a new product in June, and doesn't have it out for the holidays, and still has released no other info since June... Says to me they've hit a snag and they're hiding ... Not a good look. 

I sadly updated my cubase, I'll relearn that while I wait zenly for SONAR. 

So you’re thinking you should be automatically included ?  Did you sign up as soon as they were looking for beta testers ?

Zen is the way, forward, but Cubase ……. Good luck., whatever, keep making music !!!

J

Nice list, you’ve nailed it ! I do have other names for inclusion  though :

Liam Gallagher

Kid Rock

edit : forgot David Lee Roth

Seems like there's a lot of guessing around this. Anyone try filling out a support ticket?

https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000025633

There have been a few threads on the main forum about this.. 

FWIW, i also got this message. i merely closed CbB and reopened it. All was good..

Its for those who can’t afford a real audio device…… or who have a screwed up system.

Real Asio drivers on a decent system work nearly every time as they should.
