Hello. I have CbB installed on two computers, one has Win 10 and is up to date and works perfectly. Another is an older Win 7 64bit system that has CbB Version2020.01 (build28,64 bit) and continues to work perfectly for me. I've had this music only computer for a long time and its still works well.
I have a lot of older software that was originally installed on the Win 7 system only, that I still want to use .
I'm not going to update this machine to Win 10 due to the older software.
Will the Win 7 version just stop working one day as it wont activate? Notes for release 2023.09 say Bandlab assistant will no longer be used to activate the product.
I don't know if there will be an offline activation option for older systems?
I don't require future "support" for the Win 7 machine. Only that it continues to function as is.
I don't care about updates on the Win 7 machine but I'd like to continue to use it without any activation issues.
Does anyone know if there will be an option made available or a way to keep older systems functioning if updates aren't required?
Hoping someone has some incite

I suspect that your currently installed version of Cakewalk is too old for the update to work from the help menu. If I remember correctly, you can run the Cakewalk Installer to overwrite install
