I can use Rapture Pro fine without CCC running. It's just there for automatic authorizing - which is broken for z3ta 2.2 but works fine for Rapture Pro over here...
z3ta 2 update?(bug fixes)

Just gave CCC another shot. Installed the version I downloaded last week. Opened it and it says it's outdated and asks me if I want to update. "YES, of course, please, do that!" ... some strange error message 
Ok, so I downloaded the current version of CCC manually, installed it, entered my credentials (which are just working fine on the Kack-walk page), and error "Authentication failed!"
I somehow think the CCC can't handle the special characters in my password (BTW it's just: $). I guess they forgot to implement UTF-8 for passwords

Wow, just read this topic....
I only have Z3TA+ FROM cAKEWALK,
but knowing these things, I will stay at version 2.1.
The so called 2.2 updates are minor things, so I't not a big loss for me.

Just tried. It works fine. Downloading, installing and logging out didn't work (demo mode), but after logging in and installing it a second time, it is correctly authorized.jc_vt wrote:Odd, working fine for me now on my Mac.

Don't just quit CCC, but LOGOUT, then reopen and login and install/authorize. Working fine for me now.
By the way, I downloaded the CCC yesterday evening, today I installed and it gave me the notification about a newer version, so that may (or may not) have something to do with it working correctly.

$ is not a special character, nor is UTF-8 needed for it. It's part of ye olde ASCII standard as well.stardustmedia wrote:I somehow think the CCC can't handle the special characters in my password (BTW it's just: $). I guess they forgot to implement UTF-8 for passwords![]()

It's not "so called", and it's a pretty good and substantial update with a lot of important bugfixes.dune_rave wrote:The so called 2.2 updates are minor things, so I't not a big loss for me.

The credentials should be the same that I use when logging at cakewalk.com, shouldn't they?

If you are on Mac, it's probably related with permissions (an old curse that affects Mas OS since as long as I can remember - at least back to 10.2). I had a hard time finding this, but I finally did. CCC defines a folder in Library... (or User/Library...). I don't remember the exact sub-folder (perhaps Application Support, but not sure). It happens that folder doesn't have the right permissions (it doesn't allow the application to write into it).stardustmedia wrote:Ok, I thought that could be it.

I had to locate the folder and change permissions manually. Then, I finally got CCC to launch. After launching, I changed the folder it downloads to User/Download (or something like this).
It was a while ago, and I don't remember exactly what I did step by step. I'm not at home now, but I can come to you later. This thing in Mac OS is tricky. I already told them that they should take the default folder outside of Library - change it to User/Documents/Cakewalk/CCC or something, and make sure the folder is created with the right permissions.

If Cakewalk insists on using this broken Command Center I guess I'll just pass. Very unfortunate way to do business.

Ok, perhaps it's not a "so-called update",
but i don't want to install another license center.
And I will not.

Thought I'm alone with that "demo-joke". But, after reading all the posts here, I must say: "Cakewalk, that's ridiculous!"
