SuperFreq Posted Thursday at 06:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:31 PM I saw the pinned thread saying the activation deadline has been extended to Sep 30, but as of today (Aug 21) I'm still "Activation required" / "Unable to refresh activation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guylum Alfaro Posted Thursday at 11:39 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:39 PM was in a similar boat before i found this forum when Bandlab was supposed to be discontinued 20 days ago. even despite extension i can not afford sonar and would like to still work on my projects. hopefully whoever sees this can give me some solace and let me know whether I'll still be able to access my projects and work on them with my version of cakewalk. mainly because I've had some client based work and i would hate to lose access simply because I'm poor and would rather pay for a one time license rather than subcription lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Argo Posted Friday at 03:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:22 PM You have to be in the latest version of CbB to activate. Otherwise, you won't be able to activate. Check your version on Help --> About Cakewalk. The "bad news" is, if it's not the latest, there is no way to update to the latest version since it's not available in Product Center anymore. Your only option will be to update to Cakewalk Sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57Gregy Posted Friday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:37 PM Quoting myself seems, unsavory in some way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Argo Posted yesterday at 09:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:55 AM Some people can not upgrade to Sonar due to OS requirement. Even if it's not supported, CbB can be installed on older WIndows (My 10 years laptop still uses Windows 7). It's not broken at all, in fact it runs faster and does everything I need to do without problem. The new Product Center can only be installed on Win 10 and newer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to try the new Sonar, but I'm rooted to Windows 7 due to legacy hardware, so CbB is/was my only option. Would love to see them work out the activation issue so I can at least get projects squared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
