So Home Studio now runs in full mode. My Sonar Pro is still in Demo mode though.
 

Reiterating that the current Home Studio available by download (maybe) is not the same as the program in the OP (SONAR Home Studio 6 XL, released circa 2005).

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread. Someone linked me here from my own topic about the issues with activation, Home Studio and Demo mode.

No problem. Just didn't want others to think they were the same thing.
Like the old Session Drummer-Session Drummer 2-Session Drummer thing.

Well I just tried redeeming Sonar Home Studio the same way I did the first time and it worked!
So if you try and fail, try again.
I just went to a Windows 7 64 bit pc, installed SHS6XL and it doesnt work quiet right. It hisses like
mad if I choose 24 bit audio, and wont let me use any driver but wdm. This worked on XP.
I downloaded Reaper and it works fine with ASIO and 24 bit.

What is SHS6XL, as opposed to SHS6?

Redeeming is working now

It had extra stuff, another disk with Boost 11, Session Drummer 2, Dimension LE and Garritan Pocket Orchestra.

If you had a monthly Sonar Pro subscription that ran out, then there's your reason.  To my knowledge, all subscription plans were terminated as part of CW's announcement.  IOW, your sub would only be good until the end of the last paid month.
 
The exception to this would be if you paid for 12 consecutive months, in which case you own the license.  Then you should still be able to activate it as long as the CW servers are working.
