tried to get the amp simulator on mc6, it came up as your 10 day trial period has expired this was the case from day 1 after install and reg has anyone had this problem

Sorry, I don't think I understand your question.
You ordered an amp sim somewhere and the trial period of MC6 has expired before you got that amp sim??  If this is the case - I don't think there's anything to do if you can't run another trial period.

thanks for the reply,in mc6 i went into effects scrolled down to amp simulator it came up as amplitude 3 cs but as i said the trial period had expired.would have been nice to give it a try.looks like i will save for line 6 or similar

Amplitude  should still run after the trial period. In the demo mode, it will still run however, it puts some static in the audio stream every few seconds rendering it useless for recording. 

However... it came with MC6 and you, as the licensee of MC6 have the right to license Amplitude as well for free. 

You do not register it on the cakewalk web site like you did with MC6. 

You must open Amplitude and follow the instructions for registration. It involves going to the Amplitude server website and with a few clicks, you are legal and it will run unobstructed on your computer from that point forward. 

thanks herb, i tried but failed as have many others,but its all good, i am loving the sound of my guitar[ibaneze les paul] going straight in.also pulling out my old stomp boxes to try.baz

Well... in case you want to try a different amp sim.....

This one is free.  No demo period, no copy protection ...... 

thanks for that herb but i am on the home computer and the wife has lots of work stuff etc.i am scared to touch much, will get seperate computer for music only, soon. at this stage using file,downoads midi etc  basic computer ,i wll have to hone skills. i am going to give a good shot many things to learn also many i do not need.

If you are planning a new computer for music.... this is a good idea. 

Consider buying at the same time a nice audio interface with midi ports on it. Cost is about $100 to $300 depending on the manufacturer and the features. Cakewalk makes a few interfaces that are reasonably priced and work well.  

I have 2 music computers..... one is an off the shelf Dell which while it is still a music lappy, it also does other things, like surf the net. The other is a 100% music machine that is not internet connected and was a custom build. 

nothing beats having a dedicated music machine.....except having 2 of them. 

ta herb, i have roland quad capture [has midi in/out]will give i/t guy as much info as i can to construct new music pc. question, how do you install reg etc if not connected to internet for music only pc . should i have posted this on a new thread ,reading other forums some people are very keen to keep proper proticall,you have been great and i thank you for your time even if i divert from topic

In some cases the authorization is just a written code you can type in; in other cases, it's an actual file you can copy to a USB thumb drive and plug into the non-connected computer.
