Should have realised NEVER to purchase a product that comes 'bundled' with software that has to be downloaded..!!! Just bought a BOSS BR800 multitrack & instead of it coming with an installation disk for the software (i dont even know which version of LE it is supposed to be..!!). Been trying now for 6 hrs to download the software.....not happening. Download didnt complete & have to start all over again....but have to go to work shortly. Because i havent actually downloaded it successfully....i dont have a serial number....which means i cant get technical support..! WOW..!!
 
Is it possible to get the software on a disk..?? I am at my wits end with downloading massive files....

In order for these companies to save a few dollars on including an actual installation disk, they force the user into having to download massive files....& in my case, it has been so goddamn frustrating. Never again will i buy something that has to be downloaded, it has to be a hard copy or forget it...

Being a peer to peer forum there's not much we can do. Suggest you contact Customer Support.

Or download the demo

But the problem is that because i am unable to actually install the software...i dont have a serial number (which is required in order to get customer support..!! This is completely ridiculous...!!

Umm....you suggested downloading the demo...? What demo..?? I'm actually having trouble trying to download the software (SONAR LE) that comes 'bundled' with the BOSS BR800....

You would need a serial number to register the software.

You must have received a card or something giving the download link. There should be a serial number on that.

The software would just be Sonar LE.

Are you in a position to call them?

At the moment Cakewalk only provide downloads for their software. No current versions sold on disc. This is the way the software world is going.

No. There is no card...no serial number until i actually INSTALL the product. As i've said- i cannot even download the entire 1.8GB....so in other words - i have no serial number....

I provided a link to it in my first post. When you follow that link, there is a further link that says Download it today.

Just read the instructions on that page on how to download Cakewalk Command Centre. Unfortunately you will need to do a bit of reading.

On the installation instructions that came with the BOSS BR800, it clearly says that i have to actually download the software & THEN i will get the serial number to complete the process. How on EARTH am i supposed to get a serial number before i can download the software....unbelievable seriously....

Well I guess if you can't complete the download, there's not much point in attempting other downloads.

I don't know why you can't complete the download. Is there some error? Are you using a download manager?
