I can't log into it, either I have no account or something's wrong with it. I don't know the official answer. But, ever since I started with CbB, it has been connected to my Bandlab account. I thought we needed to have a Bandlab account. Back in the days before the in-app updater, I needed to use Bandlab Assistant. Therefore I had to be connected via a Bandlab account. I didn't know that wasn't true for everyone. Plus with recent Cakewalk updates, I can now publish to and download from my Bandlab account. See File > Browse Bandlab and File and File > Publish to Bandlab. I just assumed that the ease of transferring between the two requires synchronization of the accounts. Personally, I have gotten used to the YYYY.MM format (as in 2022.02). Update # 1 seems more user friendly than referring to a build number.

Have you left it open to "actually see" where it's really taking you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjoens Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I do too unless I uncheck the box at the end of the install. If I don't, both pages open in my browser. Edited March 10, 2022 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 @sjoens - the reason it takes you to the login page is because you're not logged in to BandLab, and it's trying to refresh your authorisation. I'm not sure why it's not allowing you to log in. The login works for me both on all of my Windows 10 machines, and my Windows 7 & Windows 11 machines. All machines are completely up to date with Windows updates though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you sign in via the the HELP tab in CbB and not the actual Bandlab site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Never. Tho, I just tried it thru CbB and got in. However. the web link from the installer (above) still won't let me log in. http://localhost:4342/callback?code=6C69B4063FBC7E843631F753A2C95848047A6DAF20670DCA7B7573CCB457D8F6&scope=openid offline_access&session_state=BLpeHIJVxO5gJIQU1I7_iTXJ15MAykIfq7if2YfIzEo.1CED88DCE5FC5DCBF0A9803EE1D0EED5 I compared both addresses and they are identical, so 'splain that one.

sjoens Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Then the installer is opening a broken link for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 @sjoens - are you running CbB or the installer as administrator? - that might explain it. The result of the login in the browser is being passed back to CbB, however if the browser and CbB are running under different users, that would be a security violation.

sjoens Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 AFAIK neither one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will. Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 At the end of the day Bandlab.com is the parent website. I think the confusion you're having is with the download of the installer ,which we get from the Cakewalk by Bandlab website. Most who repott on this are still attached to "Cakewalk.com" Either way, like @msmcleod said: It's just passing you back to CbB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the install of the latest update (from an open cakewalk project), the installer took me to a bandlab page (https://www.bandlab.com) instead of the release notes page (like I would expect). What is up with that? . . . Syphus I like to report that the installer for this last update (2022.02) did take me to the proper page (release notes) this time (even though no response to to the OP) Syphus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
