Sonar 2015 is Windows 10 compatible. We may need to inform XLN that Win 10 compatibility is highly desirable.

What incompatibility?

They simply require reregistration when the OS changes, that's by design it appears. Whilst it might be a pain in the ass to do it for some, I don't see this as being unreasonable, esp as it's a one time operation with an OS upgrade. It's a pretty simple operation.

Doktor AvalancheThen MS are sending major updates that are making it think it's a different OS or XLN have tightened up their code and are making people reregister again or there is some issue with the XLN code and they need to losen it up (if they are willing).

From this I would not state that AD2 is incompatible with windows 10 however. You can still use it.

 That is a flaw in XLN's authorization. I don't think anything else in W10 needs to be reauthorized.

You could be right... Or...consider..
Steam regularly asks for reauthorisation on any OS by design.
XLN may be using a perfectly valid MS programming library for authorisation that the other apps don't use.
Remember authorisation is generally a completely different kettle of fish from app to app (unless it's ilok etc) designed to combat software piracy. With good protection the methods and code changes quite regularly.
 
You will have to ask them what the real story is, they are probably aware of it. I can't see how any conclusion can be made right now as to what the actual reason is.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm running Sonar Platinum x64 on Windows 7 x64 SP1 and I'm really satisfied with the system stability and operating environment.  What incentive do I have to migrate to Win 10?  Grateful for any enlightenment.

One reason: Touch Screen
Works extremely well

I am late to the party I have been holding on to Windows 7 Pro and loving it but my laptop is about to give up the ghost and most new laptops are Windows 10.  I have read mixed reviews in this thread mainly people liking windows 10 so my question is should I go for Windows 10 64bit?  Also as of today are there any known install issues with Lexington with Windows 10 64 bit?

No there are no install issue with Lexington. Sonar has been Windows 10 compatible before Windows 10 came out.

I'm on Win 7 and I'm not planning to upgrade to Win 10 on my studio laptop.  That machine is stable and loaded with all things Sonar and plugins and audio.  The thought of porting to a new machine is not one I want to entertain.  But, our non-studio laptops are running Vista, are limited on memory, and are outdated.  I picked up a Win 10 machine from a local big box.  I've barely explored it, but I much prefer the Win 7 gui.  As for performances I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment.  I've never used Win 8.
 
Perhaps by the time my Win 7 laptop is outdated, Win 10+ won't be so unfamiliar.
 
Good luck with your upgrade.

That looks like a nice machine.I wont go so far as say it the one you should get because I don't know. I would buy it though.

Hi to all,
I did make the jump. Mostly to test my m-audio 1010lt card because I know there will be no drivers written for a 'Legacy' product. Everything loaded by itself, except for some third party stuff. AD2 had to be redone. But, no problem. Have not used melodyne yet, but it appears to be there. It is faster than Win 7 IMO, and with the new sonar enhancements it is all good. Still waiting to run into the problems that seem rampant, but can't seem to cause anything. On well, the tests will be coming I imagine🆒

Being late to the party in this tread is a good thing because a lot of the dust has settled quite a bit concerning Win 10 and SONAR .
As John mentioned , SONAR was Windows 10 compatible before Win 10 officially came out  ..
 
To be honest with you , this tread caused me a lot of unnecessary headaches and it also contributed to magnifying a lot of unfounded fears that weren't even mine to begin with 
 
I wanted to find out for myself if I can Vibe with Win 10 64 and SONAR for doing music , so I wound up picking up a modest spec laptop that came with Win 10 64 installed  ...  btw the one you are looking at is much better than the one I got ...
 
I put Plat Kingston on it ...ran great ..Then when Lexington came out I upgraded my SONAR to Lexington ...
I'm having a real blast over here & I really like Win 10 ...
SONAR runs Great in Win 10 and I'm thinking about putting Win 10 64 on my Win 8 64 laptop 
 
good luck man ,

P. S,  I wound up doing it the Cakewalk way during installing SONAR ...Used the CCC . I'm still shocked at how simple and fast every thing installed ...
 
 

I have windows 10x64 and I'm having a big issue. This is my fist time recording/using Sonar. I have a Tascam US-366 which seems to have decent sound coming through its phone jack using headphones, but recording in Sonar is giving me a crazy crackling noise. I've already upgraded about a million drivers, and I'm gonna keep searching for more. This problem may be something that has nothing to do with win 10 specifically, though. I'm hoping it's user error.
