Arrrrggggggghhhhhhh! Dim Pro won't authorize on my new machine.

Yes I have the Serial Number & Reg Code directly from the cakewalk store. The serial number seemed to take during the installation. It's the reg code that does not work.

I have verified that on my XP machine the reg code is correct (you can see it in the Registry).

I have both cut-n-pasted and hand typed the Reg code into the DimPro dialog box requesting it. No go after at least 5 times of doing it each way.


The same failure occurs in the 64bit and 32bit installs.

Guess I'll be on the phone with Cakewalk tech support early tomorrow morning....

I seem to recall a lot of people upstairs had DimPro problems when X1 first came out.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Yes, but on my 32bit XP machines (DAW and LAPTOP) I had no problems. Strange Days Indeed Mama!

Bapu, maybe you should ask the question "upstairs" where they're more unfunny than we are. 

Good luck with that.

This might help

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2165550

Burried inside that thread was the hint to "Run As Administrator". That did the trick.

The main thing is that you are talking about it.

That was the whole reason I ordered my machine ahead of you (and before you knew you were going to do it); so that I could break wind ground before you.

 Did you try it with your disks from 8.5 or X1? Not sure but I think it's the same build as the Dim pro in X1 so if you have your 8.5 disks you might want to try to install it from that. For some reason I'm thinking the 8.5 is the version that your reg code is for. Just a hunch...

For once, I thought I knew the answer to a semi-technical Cakewalk-related question and everyone beats me to it.
Sometimes, this second shift stuff sucks.

Well it may be that I don't use it, but I like to have it available for those times when someone provides me a MIDI track and says "Use Dim Pro patch XXXXX". 

Know what I mean?
