I have attempted to contact Cakewalk via a Technical Support Request almost two weeks ago and have not had a reply. Again, insight into your solution may be helpful.

I don't see how my fix will work for you as it was for sonar not Rapture Pro. But before that when I was experiencing the demo problem I could always get the program to run by first activating the internet, waiting for a moment and then running the sonar program. I believe you have a problem with having the ability to activate the internet in your studio. If you can't do that in that order, I don't know what to tell you

I ran into this problem yesterday. I logged into CCC and restarted Sonar from there and the issue was fixed, but I am slightly concerned that it may happen at a gig where I do not have internet access. It would be great to get some idea as to what causes this.

this is similar to how I solved the problem before I was fixed. I could use a work around by  activating the internet on my DAW before I launched sonar. Hope that helps

@mcdonalk
Could you try this if possible. I believe that if you can somehow sign on to the internet first, and then launch Rapture Pro, you may find it will launch without demo mode. If that works. contact cakewalk and tell them. 
Best of luck
