Activation Required Notice

Every once in a while I get that ugly red 'activation needed' box pop up when opening Cakewalk.  I think it is in error as I seem to be up to date and already activated.  Have you had this problem, or is it a valid activation needed notice?  

I had something similar recently.  So you don't have to read the full post, I posted the solution that worked for me.  (See quote below.)

I took a chance, logged out of Bandlab from within CbB, looked up the user name and password, rebooted CbB (might not have been necessary to close/reopen CbB), and logged into Bandlab starting from within CbB.  That worked for me.

Others might have different solutions; no guarantee mine will work for others.

I'm getting activation required on my off line computer about every 18 days!  I did the offline activation request and accidentally opened CbB on my online computer (instead of the new product center). I had one more day to activate my online pc.  WTF .

Thanks

Every day  after booting up windows, the 1st CbB launch  gives me the RED Popup,  I immediately  shutdown CbB and relaunch and Voilà it's activated!!  Noel Borthwick claims it not an error, but a failure to complete a browser handshake ergo a local system problem!   Well, a load of us seem to run into this and it wasn't  happening to versions prior to the final versions, So, go figure ?...

Hard to get a handshake when your pc is "offline"       !

Two thoughts:

  1. Maybe create a sticky thread about activation problems? They pop up in abundance now, which leads me to...
     
  2. It seems that the required activation frequency was shortened a lot in the latest/final version of Cakewalk by Bandlab. :( I've never had to activate this often previously.

    The only conclusion I can make of it is that the Bakers want to be able to encourage/drive/force the customers faster to the upcoming Sonar?

 Yep, agree with you on all points!
