If this is an issue with internet connection, my PC is typically not connected to the internet. I do not believe that CW requires an internet connection for proper operation, as I have made this clear to Technical Support in our rare instances when we have communicated regarding my open issue.

Same here. I typically connect only when I want to connect to either CCC to update SONAR, or to update or authorize a soft synth or effect, etc, or for Windows updates. Very careful about where I browse on my DAW. When I'm done, I disconnect and disable my wifi adapter. It seems very strange that SONAR would require/expect an Internet connection. Mine has never behaved that way.

Copied from another thread: 
If you complete 12 months you own SONAR up to the last month you paid. So if you don't make a new payment and want to continue to use SONAR, you will need to roll back to the last month you paid for.
This only applies to users who are on the monthly payment plan. If you purchased an annual membership it is always fully owned for that annual period. For a lifetime user it is owned forever and includes future updates. 
 
Hope this makes sense.

I have paid yearly and now "live time".
But every time I start Sonar, it connects with the internet. But when internet connection fails, Sonar needs over 1 minute to start. And if internet connection fails more then one day I'm in demo mode. Very strange.

Please let us know if this still happens with the upcoming 07 release.

Mine is still stuck in demo mode, but my credit card is still being charged without any problem.

you don't seem to explain your issue in detail.
if you would like help, give some details.
are you connected to the internet ?
when did the problem start ?

Indeed, I am connected to the Internet. I'm at a loss as to what further details would be required to solve this.

well I suppose the obvious, you are obviously paid up on membership im guessing.
how long ago did the problem start ?
I know im one of the lucky ones here but not once have I ever seen a Demo mode toast, or a demo mode problem.

I bought Sonar Platinum with Free Lifetime Updates just about 4 weeks ago and I am getting the
same error message about running in demo mode 20,0 which I take it is the error code.
 
I have emailed support as instructed but this is not getting any work done.
