And, will Bandlab ever sell stuff (like Rap Pro, Z3TA etc) I'm betting that until BandLab releases it's own versions of the plugins, they'll keep a server or two dedicated to keeping Cakewalk Command Center working. I have Dimension Pro and Rapture SE (was gonna buy myself Rapture Pro for Christmas 2017.... and then >POOF< the Gibson thing). Along that vein, I expect BandLab will eventually offer Z3TA+ 2, Rapture Pro and a few of the other products - probably not for free, at least I wouldn't expect them to give everything away free. But of course, I'm just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you won't have to worry about the Command Center, or hope that someone will maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes some time (depending on how much you have), but worth it for possible future installations. -- Scott R.

mdiemer Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have installation discs, you're OK, right? I mean, as long as you kept all the numbers, it should authorize, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet at least a million of them have never seen a DAW before, so might be time for a new book.? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you bought recent versions of SONAR, it was all downloads. So you'd need to grab those downloads now and store them somewhere safe.

The last version I got on Disc was SONAR Home Studio 7 XL (2010). SONAR X1 onward it was all downloadable content. SONAR X1 through X3 provided an Activation/Registration Code, so you want those (print out your My Products page). Platinum began the Cakewalk Command Center and online validation. The latest Home Studio also does the online validation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdiemer Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I have install discs for 8.5 Studio and Proucer. Studio is a single disc, Producer is 4 discs. They install and authorize via codes. You may have to go online to doso; I honestly don't remember at this point. The only stuff I downloaded was to update to 8.5.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The last install discs I have are for Sonar 8. In fact, it won't let me install 8.5 unless I've installed Sonar 8 first from the discs. Everything since 8.5 is a download for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The SONAR 8.5 upgrade download is unique. It was the first upgrade available as a download. To reduce its size, for slow connections and bandwidth limits of the day, the SONAR 8.5 upgrade download depends on an existing SONAR 8 install. Every upgrade download after SONAR 8.5 were full retail version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if I need to reinstall 8.5 (quite possible, as I plan to continue using W7 indefinitely, and CbB may at some point no longer work on it), will I need online activation? Which would no longer exist, I assume. I seem to recall being able to activate simply by putting in numbers, after installing witrh my install discs.

I have not installed 8.5 in a very long time but have re-installed other Cakewalk products that use a similar activation process. They activated with their original serial numbers and registration codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlyG Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I finally made it over here. It's been a couple years since I used Cakewalk or did much with recording. Got the Bandlab stuff set up and now using an M-audio 1814 w/Eleven Rack, so a new learning curve. Thanks for being here. I'm sure I'll have questions! I was on the old forum and received much help.

Cookie Jarvis Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The last install discs were for Sonar X3 Producer...I have install discs for 8 through X3 except for 8.5 that was download only. X1 through X3 install discs were available for an extra charge...I like physical product so I grabbed each when I upgraded :) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true 8.5 was the first upgrade available as a download but disks were available. It was the only upgrade download that relied on a previous install. I purchased the 8.5 upgrade disks. Unlike the 8.5 upgrade download, the upgrade disks are a full version of the software just like all the upgrades before and after 8.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
