I've just installed CWFB and there is a popup box displaying:
Demo Mode
Please login to BandLab Assistant to update activation status.
Well I'm already logged in to BandLab Assistant and it's displaying "Up to date". The only available options are "Uninstall" and "Learn more". I tried logging out and in again but that didn't change anything.

I also tried running as administrator (both CWFB and BandLab Assistant) but it didn't make any difference. It remains in demo mode.

The same happen to me. The only solution was to uninstall and install again this time logged to BandLab Assistant.
Hope it helps

How did you install the first time? You need to install through BA and be logged in while installing.

The same happens to me...
I installed correctly logged in BandLab Wizard ...

The firs time I installed Cakewalk by BandLab using BandLab Assistant in my first computer. I Took some time ( i didn't realizeit wasdownloading the software) bue eventually started to install the software. BandLab Assistant also downloaded cakewalk.exe and instruments.exe into my downloads folder. So the second time I installed using this files in my second PC without being logged to BandLab Assistant. It failed giving me the demo message. Then using the same BandLab Assistant I uninstalled Cakewalk by BandLab and again installed logged to BandLab Assistant. It takes time to download again ( i also have to tip them again), The second time everithing works ok (no demo message).

Still in demo mode. Is there something specific that I need to do in BandLab Assistant? I can't see any relevant options. Clicking on "Open" doesn't appear to do anything. What am I missing? The popup message is telling me to login but I am already logged in.

Any time i got the DEMO thing I UNINSTALL BL CW from inside BandLab Assistant ( install it if you have not ) by clicking the down arrow right of OPEN in the Cakwalk section under the APPS tab. Then reinstall .. after the uninstall .. when that button reverts to install.
 
It seems the ONLY way you can install BL CW is first by having the BandLab Assistant installed and logged into. Then via APPS tab and CW there, click install button. 
 
If you try by just using the previously downloaded cakewalk.exe file .. that WONT work, it will just be in demo mode. It seems to need BandLab Assistant installed, running and logged into. This no doubt for account verification & stop anyone from just using the exe alone to install where they like without BL knowing, so to speak :D .. Thats fair enough, after all its FREE
 
I imagine thats why BandLab Assistant needs to be running all the time on your system?
 

Same here. I will try install/uninstall from Bandlab assintant, but I would swear that it was active and I was logged in when I installed before. Will see...:(

That did it.
