RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Havent been on CW for a while and as usual it needs activating. Followed the support e mail and logged in from inside cakewalk, but nope it wont work. Now I'm stuck and need to save my work for tomorrow. This is really really annoying, I'm not au fait with the controversy about CW's future, but can anyone tell me whats going on?? No wonder people are looking elsewhere!

Jeremy Oakes Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Make sure all your browser apps are closed. Not put in the task bar, but closed. Open CbB and in the Help Menu choose Login …. Etc. A browser window will open and let you login using your Bandlab creds. If, in the Help Menu, its showing logout (as against login) then do just that. Close CbB. Re-open it and then in the Help Menu choose login …… as stated above. This works every time for me (i use Sonar, but still fire up CbB every now and again simply to keep it activated).

RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Thanks but no, this doesn't work. I'll wait to see what their support people say, they are pretty helpful, but I think we all know where this is heading!££££$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you want the functionality provided by Cakewalk Sonar will you be required to pay. Try this log out of Bandlab from within CbB. Log out of Bandlab in your browser. Reboot your PC, start CbB, under Help use the option to log into Bandlab. At this point it is really important that you use exactly the same username, password and method to log back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Nope! Did this but still wont save work. I suppose I now need to get help from the Bandlab people. To be fair they are very helpful ( or were, its a while since I e mailed them) but now I have work to do urgently for my band and cant do a thing. Not good. It may be free but if it doesnt work then thats not relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Ah! No I hate updating it makes me nervous but guess I need to! A better error message from them would help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
