Trouble with activation of product
When I put my registration key, it says it's invalid. I bought a copy of Sonar 8 through Amazon. Could anyone help me?

With most versions of Sonar, including 8, it will be fully functional for 15 days after you install it and there is no need to "activate" it. But you will need to register it online where you will be given a registration code. Is this the key that won't work? Or do you mean the serial number?

Unfortunately there's a good chance your product is already registered by previous owner, and thus can not be registered again.
It's not 100 % sure that this is the case, of course.
SONAR 8 hasn't been available at Cakewalk store for something like 7-8 years.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

If it was purchased from Amazon it should be new (although it is old stock). I don't think they sell used software. http://www.amazon.com/Son.../B008EQRHU8/ref=sr_1_1

Ok. Could be you're right. As they sell everything else also second hand, I thought it applies to software as well. It happens that software sent via mail is copied and registered on the way, so I'd be cautious anyway. EDIT. Actually, they sell a lot of used software, I checked. I found 2 open box SONAR X1 Studios, for example. I don't know, if they check the transferrability of licenses.

Wait, if my software is already activated, can't I get a refund from Amazon?
I purchased this with my gift card.

This is a user forum, you may want to ask Cakewalk registration support directly and if it turns out the software has already been registered then you need to contact Amazon about a refund.

So did you try to register it? In your first post you mentioned a registration key.
