    so it would appear that I have to be connected to the web before launching in order to make the license happy
    this should not be happening to yearly subscriptions
     
    Please fix this...with all the ransomeware threats out there...it is not safe

    This doesn't help, but I'm observing the exact same behavior with Rapture Pro. My PC is typically not connected to the internet.

    Just got off of the phone with support and was told that SONAR needs to be "Run As Admin" in order for it to not run in Demo Mode - which is just NOT true! I've been using SONAR for years upon years under Standard User accounts. VERY FRUSTRATING INDEED!!!!!!!!! PLEASE FIX, CAKEWALK!!!!!

    The workaround I found was that launching from the Command Center allows full control, but this does not help me as I cannot have everyone who does sessions for me able to tinker around with all of the system settings.

    You can goto the Sonar directory and right click on the exe file for its properties. There you can adjust its security settings.

    What was the resolution? I am wondering whether it may apply to the same issue that I am having with Rapture Pro.

    I suggest you contact Noel or Keith at Cakewalk and report the issue if you haven't already done so.....they are great to work with, and they were able to fix my problem........I am sure they can do something for you. The most important part is to communicate so they can.

    I'm having a similar problem.  I upgraded to the newest Platinum version this morning & it's stuck in demo mode.  Offline activation isn't working anymore.  My pc isn't connected to the web so if I didn't have X3 still installed I'd have some pretty unhappy clients today.  I tried to contact tech support & I get this from cakewalk:

    The Internet is Broken

    Well at least our little corner of it is.

    I ran into this problem yesterday. I logged into CCC and restarted Sonar from there and the issue was fixed, but I am slightly concerned that it may happen at a gig where I do not have internet access. It would be great to get some idea as to what causes this.

    I don't see how my fix will work for you as it was for sonar not Rapture Pro. But before that when I was experiencing the demo problem I could always get the program to run by first activating the internet, waiting for a moment and then running the sonar program. I believe you have a problem with having the ability to activate the internet in your studio. If you can't do that in that order, I don't know what to tell you

    this is similar to how I solved the problem before I was fixed. I could use a work around by  activating the internet on my DAW before I launched sonar. Hope that helps

    @mcdonalk
    Could you try this if possible. I believe that if you can somehow sign on to the internet first, and then launch Rapture Pro, you may find it will launch without demo mode. If that works. contact cakewalk and tell them. 
    Best of luck
