Won't activate

[Tim Cappello]

I'm signed in to cakewalk but when I open a track it says 'Unable To Refresh Activation, Try again later.

This has been going on for a week or so. What am I doing wrong, I of course need to save my work.

Thanks

Have you tried activating from the Help menu at the top of the CbB screen?

For what it's worth, today (July 31, 2025) is the absolute last day for Cakewalk by Bandlab. It can never be activated after that date.
You can try saving in an earlier Cakewalk program you may already own (SONAR Platinum, SONAR Home Studio, Cakewalk Music Creator, SONAR X1, X2, X3, etc.) or purchase the new Cakewalk Sonar, or the limited Cakewalk Sonar Free Tier, which, as the name implies, is free.

You also need to be on version 2024.12 as earlier versions won't activate.

Tomorrow is the end of life for Cakewalk anyhow. So why waist your time. 
You should be using Sonar by now.
