Sonar Platinum Trial
I am thinking of giving the above a go - anyone know if there are likely to be issues with it?
Thanks

Why would you want to trial a program that is no longer for sale, is no longer in development and will expire in 30 days?

Exactly. Even if you like it, you can't buy it.

I've thought about downloading a trial also. In case it somehow becomes possible to do something (legally) with it later. what happens after the trial is over? does it just dissolve, go away, or is it still there, but inaccessible? I've done trials before, but I always uninstalled them before the expiration date.

My thoughts were - if i download it - who/what is going to terminate it. Yes it cant be purchased but the trial is there waiting for me to download it. Is it worth a shot? Will it interfere with my other Sonar programme?

It shouldn't interfere. But if you installed it from Command Center, make sure you uninstall it correctly via Command Center. I failed to do that once, and it did cause some problems. (I uninstalled it, but not via CC). In any case, if you have any concerns, make a system image before you install to be on safe side.

Yes. I seem to remember a few years ago people were having trouble after installing the demo.

Did you know you can get a free copy of the latest Home Studio. Go to the Software forum for details.
You just gave me an idea for an experiment.
Only bummer is I don't think you get any of the things like Melodyn and AD2 with the demo.

Those items required separate account registration and activation codes at their respective vendor websites. Those codes were made available in your account after purchase of Sonar.

It gets terminated because it's "built" into the code. It's not a person or thing that terminates it. I am just commenting because you seemed to imply that because of all this hullabaloo maybe the program will continue to function.....It won't.

yes, it will change some of the "shared" bits, like the plugin manager, if that counts as "interfering" - no idea what the impact might be

Installed the Platinum trial a couple years ago. Then after uninstalling the trial, I had to re-install all of my Sonars (8.5-X3) for some reason. I think it messed up my Cakewalk plugins...

I think they are maybe looking for a different kind of trial. Maybe a self flagellation / hair shirt kind of thing ?

Personally I wouldn't try it on my main DAW because of potential screw ups. Example I already have Cubase Elements & and I downloaded the free trial of the latest full version which was at the time Cubase 8. I later uninstalled it after a week or so.
Next time I opened Wave Lab my e licencer was messed up now. I fixed it. Then I opened Cubase El 7 and it was messed up. ?? so I had to re installed it. So demos are to approached with caution.
And really whats the point of trying something you can't buy? That's why I mentioned Home Studio which is free and it will give you most of what the demo had anyhow. And it will be yours to keep.
