Okay... I hopped on the PC2A. Anything special I need to do for install?

This is my first PC module add on. Any weirdness I should be aware of? I'll be just using Run As Admin and following whatever default install path it wants. Cheers.

    Nope...once installed, the first time you run it it will ask for the Authorization Code...

    After that...you're good to go!

    Just finished ordering mine.  I've been waiting for this sale!
    Beep, it's usually a painless install.

    I'll be using it on my next project.
     
    CORRECTION:  Installed!!  All ya do is put your Serial Number in the first installation screen Beepster.  Cool!

    It's not registering. Gettin' a little mad. 

    If I try to register it using the registration popup in X2 it tells me it's an invalid reg code (manually typed in twice). If I use the online registration it tells me it's already registered.

    In my account it is listed in my registered products but I'm getting that stupid popup when I insert it. Anyone else getting this behavior?

    I love you Cakewalk but you kind of suck for stuff like this.

    "manually typed in twice"

    Is there anyway to copy and paste?

    I made many a keying mistake in the past like "0" (Zero) for "O" Oh!

    I am meticulous about writing down the appropriate characters and typing them in manually because copy/pasting stuff like that screws up with many programs (anti pirating features). I triple checked everything and no dice. I decided to TRY copy pasting (before I saw your post) just for a larf and it worked. Sketchy sketchy sketchy. Seriously this was not user error or if it was I must be having a stroke or something. 

    ugh... Oh well. It's done. Cheers, guys.

    Never heard that before, most programs that I purchase actually suggest copying and pasting from the registration email.
    Anyways, glad you got it working, have fun!

    Glad you got it going Beepster.

    I love this module. It's on every audio track in my projects.

    Even at full price this one is worth the price.

    @gustabo... I've had it happen before and actually have advised people here having registration problems (with non Cake software) to do it and it solved their issue. It's probably rare but I do it that way anyway just to avoid frustration. This is the first time I've been forced to do it the opposite way. Even with Cake. IDK... maybe I did screw it up but all the numbers checked out and I tried it multiple times both in the popup and through the only registration. Very very strange.

    @Bub... Good to hear. As I said in the other thread I'm hoping it's gonna be a nice step up from the PC4K for my acoustic work. Sadly I don't think I'm gonna get to mess with it tonight because I have to get ready for some Beepster dwelling shenanigans tomorrow. I really hope I've finally found a decent home. Cheers.

    I just got mine too. Copy and paste the serial and reg numbers with no problem.
    You have to be careful when you copy that you don't get a leading or trailing space.

    I just tried it on the 2 buss and it glues the mix in a nice way. I know it isn't normally
    used like that but I tried and was pleasantly surprised. I kept clicking and unclicking the bypass button to compare with and without and always liked it better with it on. Only set for about 2 db of compression. Seems to add life,  or maybe seems to animate the mix.

    Same here.   I have a USB stick (and a backup USB drive) loaded with text files containing serial and registration numbers.    Oh, and a few authorization files too.   It's always worked pretty well.

    I have installed it twice (64bit) scanned etc, et al and it is not showing up on my main DAW, I downloaded it to the laptop and installed fine, but no matter how I run the plugin manger it is not showing up at all, 32/64 yipee!!!

    Thats what I wanted to do tonite...sit and find a plugin...

    I just got a new (for me) keyboard too and I am not in the mood to be techy...

    I'm using SOnar Platinium on a 6 core Lynx Audio machine and a ton of vintage pre-amps/eq's/comps I build for fun and sometimes money, REDD.47/API/Neve I also use the UAD stuff, and also use a Macbook Logic 9 through Apogee...

    Similar for me - scanned vsts and it didn't show up in the PC add module.
    Closed X2, reopened a project and then it was available in the dropdown.

    I've tried that, but at your word I will try again...I've also restarted the machine twice...the bugger is everytime I rescan it scans all the new UAD crapola that I haven't gotten but shows up and I'm to lazy to disable it all...

    I actually copied the *.dll and moved it...it didn't show up until I did...and the installer gives you no choice, so it was probably just my machine acting...machiney...

    Hi Beepster...

    I'm glad you got it working... Have fun with it...

    I'm betting the reason wasn't that you typed it wrong, but you read it wrong... I've done this unknowingly at times as well. Mixing up O/0/8 can be real easy given some fonts and there are plenty of other such characters (S or 5)...

    I always prefer to paste it when I can as it eliminates such errors.... ;-)
