Almost every time I start up Platinum Lifetime, it goes to demo mode.
I have to close it down and restart.. Most of the time on the second start, it activates fine.
I have tried starting inside of the Command Center and standalone.  It doesn't seem to matter.
Any advise on how to remedy this would be appreciated.

Hi, and welcome to this forum. You could try an offline activation.

All the best.

im with Ken, try off line activation.
its possibly/probably your internet connection dropping out.

Sonar should operate reliably without an internet connection.

I agree, but if the connection drops out at the time SONAR is checking membership status, it could happen. That is why I suggested offline activation.

In my experience with yearly membership Sonar does not check membership upon startup, so the quality of your connection is irrelevant. I have 2 audio PC's that I connect only to update Sonar, and despite being offline for months at a time Sonar does not go into demo mode. I imagine the lifetime system would work the same way. 
 
That is not to say that an offline activation may not fix whatever the issue is, however. It is certainly worth a try.

if its not set up for offline activation you'll get drop outs if your internet connection is not staying connected.

No. You won't.  See post above.

Just to update everyone.. I used command central and updated the latest version, and I have not had the Demo start up since then.
 
Thanks for the help and feedback.
