Purchased the last day upgrade, Are you sending Disks because 300 minutes to download????

I purchased the upgrade special ending today and get 13 files to download in 300 minutes.   The files say 300 minutes before they expire.  I hope your sending the physical disks because im getting over 12 hours to download only a couple at a time.  Yes I have t1 which sucks but is the fastest connect possible where I live.  Once we purchase the product and registered to us why is there a time limit at all?  Anyway,  think about the amount of data your transfering in 300 minutes.  We dont have fios out here.  I am assuming your sending the box of disks.  Thanks.  Anyone else purchase the upgrade and have slow connect to download?  Thank you again. 

you need to pay extra for the disks.
youll have plenty of time.
i did no probs and at the time my connection crawled.
 
just sign in to your cake account to download your upgrade.
no need for the panic buton/ 

thank you very much all.  the download is like 13 files so they all wont be started by the 300 minute mark.  but I will re-log if have to.  Just weird there is a time limti when you bought the software and own the number.  Its not like anyone else can use it.  thanks again. ill keep downloading the next day and a half.

for sure i believe you.  I was concerned they assume everyone has fios now a days.  Im in a canyon with slow connect.  Had to pay for a t1 to get half the speed of low end cable haha.  Thanks again.  Its till downloading so all seems cool.

The messages you write here do not go to the Cakewalk customer service or support. This is just a user forum.
If you have requests you must contact them directly. 

If you have a slow connection, make sure you use a download manager and it will go much smoother. There are free ones available, i.e., Free Download Manager. 

Cool, cause my files are still downloading from when I started this post.  I cant believe it.   Thank you very much.  Ill  try that.   As long as we can redownload at anytime after purchase its cool.  Im going to work and download and put on disk to transfer here.  P.S.  Talked to Lars and he is sending me links closer to my location.  thanks again.   REally appreciate all of your help.

Hi, Do I have to reinstall ver 8 to upgrade or can I clean install the new version being prompted for evidence of ver 8 ownership like insert original disk or serial number.  I dont have the old ver installed anymore since system crashed, have the box, disks, contents right here though.   Just kind of crazy a piece of expensive software requires you to keep old files on your drive and worste entries in registry.   Thanks much.

Thank you very much Robert.  but I tried to install the upgrade on a new machine.  Old one crashed and never reinstalled ver 8 producer.    I get an invalid serial number error so was wondering if it is actually looking for a pre-installed version or searching registry for ver 8 serial number?  If I can install clean then....   hmmm   I got the serial numbers on my account page,  maybe copy paste doesnt work for it, no screen scrape, which could be.  If I have to reinstall ver 8 so it recognizes the thing I can do that,  I hope it writes over same directory cause I dont have a ton of space on the drive.   Thank you very much again.  Ill  try typing serial numbers in this time.

FDM/free download manager.. you can leave running, and it'll even switch off the pc when it's done if you tell it to..  and it'll support resume, so even if it flakes out you can restart/continue with it :)
