(Command Center still logs on with previous machines, but won't when installing on a new machine.)

BandLab bought all of Cakewalk's assets, so the existing accounts and servers will keep running as long as they want them to. Haven't heard of any plans yet to shut them down, and all of my legacy stuff is still available online.

Contacted Cakewalk and Bandlab and haven't received any return from them on the multiple attempts for over a month now.
Running Cubase 10AI now.
Feels like Sonar is dead in any form for me ATM.
I’m not sure if I’m remembering correctly, but I think I had that same blank box.BBFG# wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 7:59 pm Been trying to install on a machine (64 bit Win 7) but the assistant comes up with a blank box during install and stops there.

I ran the installers manually from the folder I had them downloaded to (desktop). That worked. After installation, I had trouble with the Assistant in terms of getting authorized or whatever. It eventually failed but worked at the same time. Quit and reloaded the Assistant repeatedly. Eventually Cakewalk/Sonar behaved like it was activated. The Assistant app continues to be questionable.
Whatever. The software runs and it’s just a backup for old projects I hopefully don’t need anymore.
Someone else on the Cakewalk forum had the same Bandlab white box problem and this is the solution they were given which might work for you also.......
Sonar Platinum still uses the old Command Center process for installation/activation rather than the new Cakewalk by BandLab Assistant. The activation servers are still up and running.
Yeah, of course I used Command Center, it doesn't recognize my credentials on the last machine. They still work fine on the previous one though.zzz00m wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 2:10 pmSonar Platinum still uses the old Command Center process for installation/activation rather than the new Cakewalk by BandLab Assistant.

The easiest way to get Sonar is by using your old account credentials to sign into your account and downloading Cakewalk Command Center. https://www.cakewalk.com/Command-Center
Offline activation of the Sonar is also possible. https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowle ... Activation
I took advantage of the cheap crossgrade to Studio One Pro after the Cakewalk "Great Shutdown" by Gibson. I've also updated my copy of Ableton Live to the current version.BBFG# wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 4:19 pm
Otherswise, I'm just starting to make a more successful transition to Cubase 10.
One thing I have learned about Cakewalk (and it's original first foster parent, Roland) is while we may be happy with what is happening currently... Never trust them for consistency into the future.
Nothing nefarious that I can see. BandLab apparently just wanted to add a DAW to the BandLab empire: https://bandlabtechnologies.com/
It's not hard to understand that they wanted to provide a full fledged DAW product, aka Cakewalk by BandLab, for those 7 million users of their online BandLab platform to graduate to.BandLab Technologies is a collective of music brands with a vision to connect the world of music.
