Same problem with Bandlab Assistant, it opens up, i log in click to download Cakewalk and the BA disappears and nothing happens. Tried to Download on another Computer which worked, installed it and it is in Demo Mode. When i open the BA it says Cakewalk is installed when i want to open it nothing happens. Hope you find a solution and thanks for not letting my DAW die, i work with it for nearly 20years.

3 reinstalls in 3 days... CbB still seems to think it is in Membership mode, with an expiry of today, so I expect I'll be reinstalling again tomorrow. With a poor broadband connection, having to re-download every day is painful. Can't we just get a licence code to change this to an "owned" product and stop this Demo nonsense?
 
Edit: Now it says 10/10/2018. Maybe my eyes deceived me.

...If you run into demo mode for some reason, uninstall/reinstall from there...

 
I clicked on the "Uninstall" option in BA. Nothing happened. CWFB is still installed. Even clicking on "Open" in BA doesn't do anything either. Is this meant to launch CWFB? I'm getting the impression that the problem here is with BA rather than CWFB.

Uninstall CbB via "programs and features" in Control Panel.  Run BA 3.06 and log on and then reinstall CbB from there.

OK, I've now done all that. The end result was no different.

Bandlab and some antivirus software packages don't seem to agree. if you have issues upgrading or running Assistant switch off antivirus for a  few minutes.

Hello all,
I have removed all bandlab downloads until they correct this. It is a little funny that the donate page appears first and waits a long time before loading with the tab to run. Seems no donation=no undemoed mode. Lol. Will wait for proper downloading. One thing I have to state. Hooray for Meng, but he did not rescue cakewalk, he saw and grabbed it from a business point of view. Even though he said he used it, he still saw, and sees it as a viable service for his company. Remember, it still is about business. OK, enough of that stuff. Thanks again Meng. Now, just need to be able to open it to see how it is.

Tried to reinstall everything to get out of Demo Mode. Now. after uninstalling everything, i reinstalled freshly loaded Assistant 3.0.6 and when i try to install CbB, the assistant simply closes. I already excluded the assistant app's folder from Windows Defender and Firewall is not running. In the downloads folder, there are the cakewalk.exe with size of 704 KB and instruments.exe with 640 KB, that's it. So essentially, i do not have any CbB installation anymore, nor i can re-install it.
I even tried to delete everything incl. the compatibility store entries in the Windows registry, nothing changes this behaviour. When i try to install, the assistant opens the webpage with the donations and closes, leaving those incomplete downloads.
System Win 8.1 Pro.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you get persistent issues with auth, please contact support, so we can get more details.

Ive just updated the Assistant after a few days and now my CbB is in demo mode! I cannot see anyway of updating my activation status in the assistant.
 
I've uninstalled and Im now reinstalling CbB...

i hope that doesn't happen again...pain in the bum... re-installed CbB...all's good again...not sure if another Bandlab Assistant update will screw it up again though..
