Platinum keeps reverting back to demo mode

I launched Platinum from the command center, the method that supposedly activates and authorizes SONAR.  But after a reboot, I start SONAR without the CC and it says it is loaded in demo mode.  What gives and how do I get my copy of Platinum PERMANENTLY authorized and activated?

    i used CCC and have had SOnar revert to demo on a couple of occasions too. It has happened during playback and the timelocator freezes in place although playback continues. Then a 'toast' notification appears saying I am running in demo mode. 
     
    Hope everyone is OK in boston- looks like crap weather!

    I run Artist, but noticed doing the launch from CC - you run in administrator mode.
     
    So launch, then closing and then start by shortcut - and you are in normal user mode and can see if it all works - if internet is not there all the time.
     
    I had no issue with it doing that.
     
    Just something that might be a tip for devs...or anybody.

    My copy all sudden starts in Demo mode at once when started, or at least a at once after auto plugin scan
    Version 21.4.00 Build 27 - X64 " Membership ended 5/2/2015 - "Status Demo" ?? I didn't own Sonar at that date even???
    I run a subscription and this is the 3 month...!
    This problem started after steam update to Everett 
    I have a SONAR Platinum Subscription 1 month recurring
    About box says the above info but nothing about (xxxx.x) 
    This makes the whole program useless to me and I fear from now to make any updates to early.. I hope I am wrong!!

    Sonar Platinum - and lot of "hang a rounds" and prospects!

    I recommend contacting tech support. This is an older thread, and your post might not get noticed by Cakewalk (although they do pop in here from time to time, this is primarily a peer-to-peer forum). IIRC this has happened to others on occasion, and there is a relatively simple fix.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!
