Keni Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) All appears well... but I got a bit confused reading the Notes page that opens. For downloading Cakewalk, it's showing Bandlab Assistant to use for the download??? I updated from within CbB, so I'm up to date. But I thought to mention that Product Manager requested an update as well, then showed nothing and locked with a spinner for far too long before I Task managered out. That was before applying the update from within CbB Note... I just opened Product Manager again and it again requested the update. This time it ran and completed correctly. But as I already updated to 098, it's showing it as an available download instead of re-install? Is this correct? O guess it's not recognizing that I already have in installed?

If you're on build 098 for CbB, Product Center should see that it is currently installed. It's possible you might need to refresh in CPC. Product Center was updated yesterday to build 051 so the auto-update is expected there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsurkin Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Please forgive me if this is the wrong place for this question. Product Center 051 shows that I do not have Melodyne Essential 1.0.0.7 installed. However, over the years I've updated Melodyne to Essential version 5. If I select download on the Cakewalk Product Center, is this going to install an earlier version of Melodyne? Or is version 1.0.0.7 later than Essential version 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 This is expected. It will only pick up products that have been installed using Product Center or one of the new installers since the old installers don't communicate with product center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the order I did things made a difference? Or rapidity? I only had Firefox and Thunderbird open at the time. I’m gonna go open CPC again in a few minutes and see if things are any different. I don’t know why the first update attempt this morning failed. It appeared successful but re-opening opened the okd version and again requested the update. It took the second time. Changing location now. Will try CPC first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I leave it as as or allow it to reinstall over itself so that CPC can catch up? Is it important for any reason? I installed using the toast within CbB.

Tommy Byrnes Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Where do the files download to? There is no settings tab in the Product Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldnt matter whether its installed from Cbb or from product center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keni Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just to note. I closed all and waited, then opened CPC and it's still showing the 098 as a download not a re-install. 098 is verified previously on my system. What would make it refresh and read what's in CbB already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By refresh, do you mean overwrite the current install by downloading/installing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I also reported to Jonathan, I have closed and re-opened all programs and CPC still shows 098 as an available download instead of as a re-install (or gone) Opening CbB shows 098 installed and activated.

paulo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Opened my existing CPC installation (1.0.0.28) got a message saying that this version has "expired" and needed updating. It has been "getting updates" now for over 30 minutes. Seems a bit excessive !! EDIT: Over an hour now.....binned it. EDIT 2: Downloaded CPC again and installed it. Now showing as v1.0.0.051 and seems to be functioning. Edited February 23 by paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always available as a download even if it has been installed. The green dot means its installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSistine Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Offline authorization does not work here! I have had a lot of trouble with the BandLab logins! With my previous user I had the problem that my display name changed back when I signed out and then signed in again! And unfortunately the number of changes for this one is limited in time! That's why I created a new user to solve this problem. So far so good! Lately when I signed out of discuss.cakewalk.com with my new user (Sistine), I couldn't log in again. It said the password is wrong. After a lot of time I found out, that there is another user on the Bandlab site that uses Sistine as user or display name and if I entered only the display name it chose the wrong user entry. To cut a long story short: If I had used my email address for the user login, then it worked and I was in in the forum again. Oh my God! Now, knowing that my short user name does not work, I have correctly used the full email address as user name in the offline auth request. But it seems that the new Product Center uses internally the short name, so it displays a wrong user name as signed in, although I used the whole email in the browser login and that worked successful. When I try to authorize the offline request it says the user does not match, but I have entered exactly the same string! It is very annoying!!! EDIT: It seems to change the display name permanently you have to do it in BandLab.com (profile name). I had confused the BL.account name with the BL.profile name (display name in forum)! Thus it was all my fault! Sorry! Edited February 26 by CSistine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that it remains available, but why the download icon instead of the re-install icone as other green dotted entries display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the download icon makes sense if you just want to download the installer for an offline machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong. I'd rather it show than not but it’s not following conventions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
