Suddenly this morning I am told I am in Demo mode. Contact page is under construction?
 
Like I said....what the?

...and does this cloud based company now start demanding we work on the cloud and we are going to ONLY be able to pay the cursed annual fee? Neither of those suits me...

Where did you get that from? NO, Meng (Bandlab) has stated and it's posted and stickied...Sonar (with new name) will be a desktop App. relax
 
Also, did you search for demo mode issues? Many threads about it

Fire up CCC then log out, log in again and fire up Sonar from within the CCC.

That should cure things

AH. Yep...thanks. I am always worried that doing anything through CCC will suddenly result in some 300MB+ download that I can't afford, on a limited data budget,without careful planning.

CCC won't download anything automatically. You have to ask it to do so.

 If you have never deleted the files in your Command Center download folder then all will be cool. 
The only reason it would download is if something is out of date-
 You will see an orange or red light beside that item. Nothing has been updated since November and nothing ever will be updated ever again as far as Cakewalk Sonar goes. 
 
They will be offering us a free purchase of the Shiny New DAW when it is available. You can choose to download and use it or not, your choice.. The Shiny New DAW will not be using CCC but CCC will remain there for as long as Bandlab is running the show so you can always re install your old Sonar products.

I don't recall reading that. And I *believe* I've read it all. 
 
Link please.

Well it's called the Cakewalk Command Center, nuff said. 
I'm always right :)

So they rename it to xCC. Where 'x' equals the first letter of the renamed SONAR. Simples.
 
Still asking, link please?
