I am waiting after the issues reported by users after the latest release. I believe we are to see another update soon (ish) if I recall correctly.

Looks to be a misguided rock that caused some analog waves in the digital realm.

We don't need no negative waves. (nice "word picture" Mesh Meister)

So now that we got the central thingy, and the new improved ZTA now locked into a single computer (per install anyway). Are we headed towards Waves level of authorization paranoia?
 
Always take a step back over this type of scenario. Useless hypothetical crap, but what if North Korea drops their new H-Bomb on Cakewalk headquarters. Appears that I won't be able to activate ZTA on the next computer upgrade.
 
My profile goes back to antiquity with Cakewalk, and can still install the old stuff with a serial number and whatever challange code to authenticate. Can move the vintage stuff from computer to computer at will, and have always respected the intent of purchased licenses.
 
Installed the ZTA update on a computer purposfully isolated from the internet. Only the demo mode is there after downloading, and can't find any way to get it authorized out of the demo mode.
 
Understand that Cakewalk has to protect their business. Just a sad day for me as the end point user is more isolated and maybe more distrusted. Others may disagree for better reasons.

Same with my pre "connect" Cakewalk software, and shouldn't get myself bent out of shape over it.
 
Was just taken back having to struggle with unsuccessful offline activation, out of my control with Cake for the first time in 20 years. Gave up on the ZTA update on the non internet connected computer. May be a way but lost interest. Did read thru the literature and found the process for Sonar, but not the standalone ZTA.
Tried the update on a connected computer and the process was fast and without problems. Just the unlikely scenario that if Volkswagen buys out Cakewalk, all my newer software is lost at the first computer meltdown or upgrade.
