Z3TA+ 2.2.2 Update Now Available

Does this version require the Cakewalk Command Center be installed ? Also I've been told elsewhere that there are now 64 bit versions of Z3TA+ version 1 and it's effects versions.  Is this correct ?

My studio computer is connected to the internet to make doing updates such as these much easier but I'd rather not install the Command Center. So I guess I can authorize from that computer just by doing all steps from there.........thanks.

Ok cool, I used this computer to do the offline authorization and transferred the dat file to the studio computer.  Authorization went perfectly. Thanks CW for allowing us to authorize without the CCC but please in future allow us to specify the folder where the .dll file installed. I normally install all plugins to C:/VST Plugins 64 Bit however this version installed to :C/Program files/Cakewalk/Vst Plugins/Z3TA+ so now I have two versions of Z3TA installed. I can uninstall the older version from the Control Panel but you can see where allowing people to choose their install paths is much better for the end user. :-) 

You'd need Command Center to change the VST2 path during the installation as Z3TA+2 reads the VST paths from there. Glad to hear the offline auth got you running though. VST3/AAX will always go to their default global locations.

 
On your Cakewalk account page, when you select  z3ta+2 in the list of your products, do you get the following download box :
 
2.2.2.120
Z3TA 2.2.2.120 Win [Mac]

File size: ~34.7 MB [60.7mb for mac], Released: 2/2/2016
 
The download file is then Z3TA2.2_Setup_2.2.2.120.exe (or Z3TA2.2_Setup_2.2.2.120.pkg for mac)

There have always been 64-bit versions of Z3ta+ 1.5 distributed with SONAR. Are you just a Z3ta+ 1.5 customer?

I ABSOLUTELY hate having Cakewalk Content on the upper level of my main drive (and everywhere else it seems).

"Cakewalk Content" is one of the limited number of folders that you can put where you want.
 
It's path is stored in the Windows registry :
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\    [key :  "ContentDir"]
 

Yes Paul, but the default location is on my main drive, and I don't recall being asked where to put it during install - bad form!  AND people should not have to edit their registry (which I did) to get it where they want it.
 
I also cannot see version 1.53 on my account and I hear there's a 64 bit version.  How can I get this?
 
Thanks for your help.

Z3ta+ Classic (the v1 release) is bundled with SONAR Studio/Producer and SONAR Professional/Platinum. Which version of SONAR do you have?

Yes, scook,  Thanks.  

I too am having problems with installing Zeta+2 I am never asked to put in the registration and validation codes and it will only run in demo mode.  How do I register it.  I see no command center in my account products.  Does this mean my copy I bought is outdated?

i haven't updated z3ta2, or rapture or dimension pro for that matter since before they were updated to be compatible with ccc, the reason being for fear of crippling something that for my purposes works fine, and not wanting to have to spend time i don't have trying to fix things up . . . again, to me their installations have always been a little brittle and messy, and installing certain expansions could be a pita. has anyone updated from a pre ccc installation of z3ta2 without issues, i am fairly sure that my existing installation was to defaults, i also have quite a number of expansions, is there anything i need to be aware of? i would really hate to do the update only to find things are not well and that i have to spend time trying to fix it up, that would likely be the last straw for me.
 
i have the same reservations with regards to updating rapture and dimension pro from pre ccc compatible installations, both of which have quite a number of expansions, and fairly sure were installed to defaults, so any advice/experiences for those would be appreciated as well.
 
also rapture pro, haven't updated it for a long time, same reasons, and don't really use it, haven't for a long time mainly due to the issues it had had since it's release, i think i recall the last version i updated to had squashed many of the issues that had plagued it from release, but just couldn't bring myself to use it. i think i installed the multisamples or whatever to a non default location, so any experiences/advice with regards to rapture pro also would be welcomed. ccc is set to verbose mode, will that allow me to point it to where my multisamples are located, or will it pick that up automatically? and is that separate to the content path set in ccc?
 
i have read a number of posts in the past where users have had issues with all of the above after updating, i just don't want to join that club

Z3TA+ 2 has always stored its content in the global Cakewalk Content directory. You can either change the registry key manually, or you can go to the settings in Command Center and change it from there as well. If you have any trouble, you can always get assistance from Technical Support. 
 
Rapture v1.2.2 and Dimension Pro are only connected products if you own SONAR Platinum. Otherwise you can just download these from your account page.

 
but you didn't address the second part asked by the OP - the forced (no install option to change) 
 
C:\....\cakewalk\Z3TA +2   paths to
Arpeggios
documentation
Resources
 
while only ~16 MB's on C:\     this "no option" to change install locations, or where to redirect an install during updates is becoming a real PITA
 
First it was latest two Sonar updates , now it's Z3TA +2 - I assume the upcoming Rapture Pro update will be the same?   and it's NOT a SMALL install
