gmp Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Activation ends on 8/1 but it's unclear how long CbB will work after 8/1 or if it'll work at all
Bristol_Jonesey Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Depends wholly on whereabouts your installation is on the update cycle 2

I doubt if any of this will be an issue for me, but I'm sure others are curious how long before it's not working. i wonder how one can find out the installation update cycle
John Vere Posted July 14 Posted July 14 I don’t understand why it would matter. You just start using Sonar. Why would you hold off? At least it would give you time to decide if you are going to stay with it or switch. 2
gmp Posted July 14 Author Posted July 14 I've used Cakewalk since 1992 with DOS. I will start using it on projects this week and hopefully there won't be any showstopper bugs. I've seen that in the past, I'm just a Murphy's law type guy. Personally I think it'll be fine
gmp Posted July 15 Author Posted July 15 I opened a CWP from 2010 since a client wanted me to work on it. In Sonar I couldn't open the synthrack and browser. Cakewalk support verified the bug, which if I had Sonar premium I could have fixed it by putting the Workspace as None. I found another solution, open CbB and save the file with the synthrack open. I'm glad this happened before 8/1/25 1
John Vere Posted July 15 Posted July 15 (edited) Im not so worried because I do still have 8.5, X3 and Splat installed. But opening CbB projects in those quickly reveals how far we have come since 2017. I have been impressed with how quickly Noel has been fixing things for users finding glitches. I think what we are now seeing is thousands of users switching to Sonar and therefore finding minor glitches that the much smaller user base of the last year didn’t notice.
