[SOLVED] Had to log back into Command Centre to verify registration

Hi Peeps,
 
Just started up SPlat for an evening session and I was asked to log into Command Centre in order to "verify product registration."
 
That has never happened before.
 
I always thought that, once registered, that was it, you no longer had to verify ownership of Sonar again.
 
So, why now?
 
Further to that, when I started Command Centre I had to re-enter my password to get into it. That, also, has never happened in all the time I have been using Command Centre. I logged way back when it was first brought into play, and I have never had to log in since, until tonight.
 
What if I wasn't connected to the internet? Would I not be able to use Sonar until I was able to verify registration? A bit worrying that, because I am often not connected to the internet, sometimes for many days, if I am out and about with my mobile studio.
 
I am wondering if I should have simply shut down the alert box that popped up, to see if I was still able to at least run Sonar. But I went ahead and clicked on the "click here" button, which took me to Command Centre.
 
AND
 
While typing this, I went into Command Centre to check something and it is now saying "You don't have any products," even though I am clearly logged in (my user name is visible top right and the "green light" is on.
 
Very strange indeed...

Ah, thanks John, I didn't realise a Windows 10 update was incoming. That might well be it.
 
Still a bit strange though, because I have been on Windows 10 for a while now and there must have been loads of updates. I remember there was a particularly large one last year where you had to go through all the privacy settings again, and that didn't cause any issues with Sonar or Command Centre.
 
I'm up and running anyway...
 
I won't mark this as solved just yet, or mark you post as "best answer," just in case any of the Cakewalk Peeps venture in here with an explanation.
 
cheers

I've updated the title of the post in order to better reflect the issue discussed

Hey Ryan... Just noticed, for lifetime membership is the end date supposed to be 2037? Hope I live more 'n 20 years...

Hey Ryan... Just noticed, for lifetime membership is the end date supposed to be 2037? Hope I live more 'n 20 years...

I read that this is just a random date that was inserted into the software.  It will be updated before 2037 and changed to something like 2057.  And will continue to be updated.  In other words, it will never run out. (for Lifetime memberships that is)

Yeah, it's just a display issue in the application. If you see 2037, or an infinity symbol, you have Lifetime Updates.

I had the "verify" thing too...same experience, logged into command center and all was well.

If you change the static IP-adress in your network SONAR also verifys the registration.
