Hi folks.
I wanted to wipe my laptop and upgrade it to 64bit Windows (currently 32 bit)
This of course will mean reinstalling all apps.....including my Sonar.   Do you think this is a bad move right now?  im concerned the product wont activate. 
ps.... the reason Im anxious to upgrade to 64 bit is that I downloaded a super drum editing plug in....but it only comes in 64 bit and the trial period is only 7 days. 
Thanks.

Before you start wiping anything, check that the laptop hardware is capable of running a 64-bit o/s. There may well be a good reason why only a 32-bit o/s is currently installed.

 Already checked Kev.  Thanks anyway bro. 

Cakewalk Command Center and the servers still appear to be online at this point, so do a backup first, then go for it!
 
The world seems to have moved on to 64-bit computing in the past few years, and I am glad I joined the 64-bit team a couple of years ago. 
 
It seems that as time moves on, more developers are devoting their resources to 64-bit only new releases.

Thanks John.   I was just a bit concerned Id be left high n dry.   Im sure once everything moves over to Bandlab we will be fine but there is that scary transition period.    Yep, you are probably right.   64 bit is probably going to become the norm.   Thanks again.....and Happy Easter bro. 

As of this very moment, the Cakewalk user account are still operating so there shouldn’t be a problem authorising Sonar.

Sonar, Artist, Professional and Platinum are the only programs that need authorising over the Internet. There is a list of products/installers that you can see by selecting Sonar in the Command centre or your online account.

Sonar before Jan 2015, while available in your online account is not available in the Cakewalk Command Centre.

I still have my Sonar Producer X3 installers from 12/31/14 all downloaded from 'My products' and tucked away safely with serial number and registration code, just in case!

I still have them all available & downloadable.

I just reinstalled Rapt Pro last night since it had lost authorization.  I don't know any reason my CC SONAR wouldn't download, too.
 

 If your computer support x64. Absolutely without a doubt! Go for it "IF" you have at least 4gb of RAM installed! If you have only 1 or 2 gb of RAM installed Windows x64 will be very slow and sluggish
And having a 32 bit version of Windows can't use more than 4gb of RAM you most likely don't even have any more than 4 gigs of RAM installed, so BEWARE you might not see any improvements in performance switching to x64, and maybe a little less, so you're definitely going to want to upgrade the amount of RAM installed, preferably to a matched pair (2x4gb= 8gb to run in duel channel mode) to at least 8gb. You should see a HUGE boost in power, stability, and track count.
And of course 2x8= 16gb is so much better (if your laptop can support that much RAM), especially if you use sample based DXi's like Rapture Session/Pro and Addictive Drums and or the likes of.
