Hi! I'm looking for the Cakewalk Project5 v2.0 ISO to restore some old projects, but I can't find it anywhere since it's abandonware. If anyone still has a backup of the install disc in their Google Drive, could you please send me a PM? Thanks!

I think it will be very hard to find since It was before Downloading big apps was a thing so they only came on CD's or DVD's.agapito lopez wrote: Mon Jun 22, 2026 9:38 am Hi!

So the only option is to search on the Archeological high seas for a copy where they might have a copy of the forgotten past

Not so much forgotten as it's better than alot of modern crapola, I still use it... I pretty much have all versions... 1.1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.51... However I don't recommend 2.51 as you can't read wrapped plugs anymore & the VST scanning rather sucks so I stick with 2.0-
However mine's on discs that are packed away as if you have it installed you don't need your discs hanging around anymore only thing I can say is I will bookmark this thread & if I come across it I'll make an effort... I have many bins...

The most criminally underrated music software of all time. 
I have physical copies of both v1 and v2. Not sure of the ethics/legality of sharing the ISO though.
There's actually one for sale on eBay right now.

Yep - I still have the original box and manual, including DVD's with the updates. Like the poster above me, I am not sure about sharing that ISO. It seems that this will be a legal problem, and I am not sure about that.
Anyway - When Project 5 was discontinued I reluctantly went to Ableton Live because of the "somewhat" similarities, only to drop Live at a later point and jumped to Bitwig. For me Bitwig is a good successor to Project 5. I have not used Project 5 V2 for a long time, and I do not even know it will still run. Not that it would run on my systems, because I use a mix of MacOS and Linux, so...
