Probably the wrong forum for this and maybe even not worth trying, out of interest though has anyone been successful with installing it?

.........   Nevertheless, the old Cakewalk Professional v3.01 runs just fine under Windows 3.x, Windows 9.x, and Windows XP, as well as the newer Windows Vista and Windows 7! :) ..............

 

 

I suggest diverting to this thread:

I have it on pirate disk's but I have since burnt the evidence in case there are lawyers around, I was a pesky (mature?) student at the time. It's the only reason why I'm using Sonar nowadays so Cake got money off me in the end.

BTW I reported this to a moderator, Jimmy this isn't directed towards you, I absolutely know you had good intensions (and I stated so in the report), I don't think you've done anything wrong, I just though Cake should know about this just in case there's some issue about linking to this site (I know pot, kettle, black!!)

Interesting - its actually free...
 

Anyhow, quite a while back Twelve Tone Systems granted permission to freely distribute the full retail installation of Cakewalk Professional v3.01... which had a suggested retail price of $350 back in 1995!

So they say, it would be interesting if Cake would clarify status, I suspect though it's probably a Mexican standoff or something.... Who knows... I doubt Cake will comment or maybe they are consulting their lawyers right now. It is somewhat odd that they are allowing a third party website to distribute it whilst not distributing it themselves.

Somehow I get the feeling that using software form the past is like driving a 68 Volkswagen! 

With the new Beetles you don't get that nastalgic feeling as you aren't breaking down so much...

Yeah,
I never pull out this old combo

Really?
I mean, ya think?
