Edit/Preferences/Cakewalk Analytics
 
Check the box: "I do not want to participate at all - Analytics will not be collected"
 
The analytics info is not being used anymore since program development has ceased.
It might cause a problem in the future if the server that Sonar talks to is shut down (?)
Better safe than sorry, shut it down now.
   
 
 

Good idea, Mike.

I don't see that in Sonar Professional, I guess it's a Platinum thing.

If you do have it, it would be under Advanced / Preferences - Analytics
 

Im not too worried about it myself. Its encrypted text data that is sent to Cakewalks server after a Cakewalk project is closed.
The least that's going to happen is Cakewalk will try to send the data and then it will just fart .

It's in Artist, it should be in Pro and Plat.

Nope, not seeing anything at the bottom in advanced preferences.
 

Are you running an older version James ?

Yes Charlie, Newburyport.

Hypothetically speaking, if someone has hopes that SONAR could still be sold off and revived, maybe leaving analytics on would be a good idea. I'm just imagining a potential buyer bringing up the point that Cakewalk already burned the existing user base and Cakewalk's side being able to point to analytics to say "No! Look! We still have 92.4% of the same daily usage average as before!"
