Is Cakewalk free?

[bebo]

To activate Cakewalk I need to click on 'update activation'.

When I click the 'Unlock Cakewalk Sonar with Membership' box appears.

If I click on 'Get BandLab Membership' I am invited to pay for a membership.

But why do they claim that cakewalk is free?

I believe there was a cut off point for people to d/l the Cbb DAW for the first time, people who had it had to reactivate it, and if they fail to do so won't be able to re download and install it either going forward?  that's how I believe the situation is.  But the whole thing is slightly ambiguous.

Cakewalk by BandLab is free, Cakewalk Sonar requires purchasing a BandLab Backstage Pass membership.

Make sure you've downloaded and installed the correct product.

I actually installed Cakewalk Sonar. Now I'll try Cakewalk by BandLab. Thank you for the clarification.
