Cakewalk by BandLab "Not Activated"

[Brayden Hunt]

I have version 2024.07 of Cakewalk by BandLab. I have never felt the need to update Cakewalk because I was satisfied with every aspect of the software. I now am being presented with my software not being activated. I am signed in. I also try and download the software on the website and now it is a whole new software, "Next" and "Sonar". It is nothing like I am used to with my cakewalk 2024.07 and it has all my projects that I do not have access to export. Right now I am wondering if there is anyway to activate my account and keep using the same version.

NO!

You can try updating CbB to 2024.12, IF that is still an option. BUT on August first CbB is evidently DONE!

While the “look” of Sonar is different, it is still the same core program; with enhancements and improvements. Sonar is the future, CbB is for all intents and purposes Morte!

Okay thank you so much! I see now that I was using the Cakewalk Next instead of Sonar. I appreciate your reply.
