LeFOU Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 My offline computer has Cakewalk from Bandlab version 2022.06. I tried doing an offline activation but it tells me that 'The CRQ file is invalid for the selected application'. After doing some reasearch, I read somewhere that Cakewalk must now be upgraded to the latest version for the offline activation to function. I searched on how to do the offline upgrade but I find nothing. Are there CLEAR instructions on how to upgrade the offline computer to a version that will permit me to do an offline activation? If there aren't any, could someone explain what must be done, please? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Just download the latest full installer to a PC that's online, and transfer the executable via USB. https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk Edited January 11 by David Baay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeFOU Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 That was simple enough. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Looks like I was mistaken that you can get the full installer directly. It looks like you first get an installation manager and will have to run that on the online machine to get the actual application intaller which I would expect will be saved to your Downloads folder at some point, but I could be wrong. Been a while since I started from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 A quick google for https://www.google.com/search?q=where+is+the+bandlab+installer+saved brings up a few hits, like this one; don't know if any of them are right (or current) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP should use Cakewalk Product Centre it can handle off line authorisation. Yes i know, you have to be on-line to install it, but thats no biggie.

LeFOU Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 (edited) Using Cakewalk Product Center, I chose 'Cakewalk by BandLab' on the left and then clicked the 'Update' on 'Cakewalk by Bandlab 29.09.0.108' on the right. Clicking the three little dots gives the option to the 'Show Installer Location' where the installer gets downloaded to. I copied that to a USB and installed it on the offline computer. Thank you to all. Edited January 11 by LeFOU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
