[SOLVED!]Newburyport Stuck In Demo Mode

Hi guys. I'm emailing back and forth with Dean Capper on this problem, but I thought I'd ask everyone here as well. First off, I'm an offline Platinum user, with no internet access besides my android phone. After I installed Newburyport, it reverted to demo mode. I've installed the latest CCC, I've run Splat as administrator, and I've followed every piece of advice that I could find on the forum, but to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful to hear them. BTW, I'm running Windows 7 x64. Thank you!!!

    I had the same thing happen to me after the update. But for me it didn't persist. I did the roll back and roll forward thing and that seemed to clear the problem.

    Hi ampfixer. I'm offline, so I can't access anything through the CCC. I did a complete uninstall and wiped the registry clean of anything I could find related to Platinum. No luck. Dean sent me a batch file to try, and that didn't work either. Thanks for your post though.

    Please don't take this the wrong way...you DID launch the updated version via CCC, yes?

    I did install it. But, being offline, when I launch it, it just says something about not being connected.

    Very frustrating. Nothing Dean is suggesting is working, and now he's off for the weekend.

    Have you done a recent offline activation?
     
    SONAR was threatening to go into demo mode for me, claiming my membership was expiring, but a new OA runaround fixed it.
     
    If your DAW is offline, does CCC have any benefits? I just download and install the monthly updates.

    I update manually and have my studio pc offline. When my membership rolled over recently Sonar went into demo mode. I installed the new ccc, briefly connected to my wifi and launched sonar through ccc and all was fixed. Could you use your android phone as a hotspot just to allow CCC to connect and launch sonar?  It is very quick will only need to be done once.

    https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013384/Offline-Activation you didn't explicitly state you'd tried these instructions?

    just a sec

    Unfortunately, my junk straight talk service will discontinue if I tether my phone to my computer. Good idea though.

    I'm online so can't really offer any suggestions, but, if you log onto your CW account through your phone, does SONAR read as activated there?

    Ah, then your membership sure sounds like it's intact!   Odd one...

    UPDATE:
    Thanks to Dean Capper and all the awesome support staff at Cakewalk!!! After sending those guys on a wild goose chase for 3 weeks, it turned out that my stupid android phone was corrupting the authorization file. It's up and going now. Thanks so much to Dean and the rest of the crew!
