Thanks gang...

Though I have Melidyne 4 installed I don't use it. I can't afford the upgrade and the lite version is missing tools I need and have in v-vocal...

Has anyone bugged this up? I'm paid for the year and it was working fine after the build 71 update... Until the machine was turned off and then started again (just like a re-boot)

More re-boots didn't help though for a moment it came out of Demo mode then quickly returned...

Talked with support... Drove 30 minutes to get wifi and did an offline activation... Which didn't work... So then deleted some CCC files, restarted Sonar and it accepted the offline activation...

I'm working now but nervous about the next time the machine is turned off...

I'm gonna bug report it now if I can whike I have a moment of wifi...

how did you update to the early release before if you had no internet?

As usual... I occasionally have wifi there, but it is too far from the router so not often...
 
What I do is from another machine that has web access, I download the update manually from the My Products account, Then transfer the update to my DAW and run it...
 
On a good day I have enuf web access to use CCC and on a bad day I run it manually... the old way... :-)

Thanks for the clarification.
 
I see the official release for Sonar is out, but personally am apprehensive  to try to install the new version again after reading Noel's recent confirmation that it is the same build. I have another session tomorrow and client's don't like demo mode popups on my software and work stoppage.
Being able to use the new drag to timeline tempo map that worked the first day before the demo of platinium nag screen appeared would be a big help tomorrow.
I seldom post here as the studio is busy daily and Sonar is usually "like a rock" when it comes to stability
 
Anyone else experiencing similiar problems?

Totally understand...
 
Sonar is the center of my daily work as well...
 
...but I take chances a lot! :-)
 
You should know that since I applied the offline activation, it's running solid as a rock with build 71...
 
I just got disappointed about the new timeline adjusting that we can do via ARA... It seems thought although it will be handy to set the timeline to follow a song, It will not allow you to use Melodyne Essential to modify the timeline....
 
I guess for me that won't matter much as I really don't use Melodyne Essential as it's too tool limited compared with V-Vocal and my needs.... I'm grateful that still works!
 
Thanks...
