I was under the impression this had changed... No problem if not. It did work briefly...

Right, I am interested in this too. Thanks for asking. 

In X1 64 bit we had to get a file sent to us via Email which was a bit of a hassle. I'm hoping it will simpler this time around.  

I believe MP3 encoding is NOW part of X2 Producer...

I have it on my options and it hasn't timed out...it wasn't an "Optional" install..

and I say HATS OFF TO CAKEWALK for that!!!  WoooHoooo!!!

has anyone tried exporting an mp3? i'd hate to have to get them sent by email

Sorry in being unclear. It was the file to activate it that had to come by Email. They didn't have a way to do so on the 64 bit version. 

Yes I did try to export an MP3 and it worked but I don't think I've had X2 long enough to know for sure. 

Because I have Pro Audio 9 the encoder is free.  But you had to activate it with a file that came with Sonar. 

John I've just exported an MP3 directly from Sonar, no warnings, no popups, no activation - it just worked.

I do MP3 encoding all the time and it works.

I also had the license, but don't remember doing anything with it for X2 - I had it installed in X1.

But the encoding works as I am using it, so if it not complaining about any licensing I would think everything's fine.

I have too. But if I recall correctly there is a month's grace. We shall see. 

Sorry guys, but I get this message when exporting to mp3:
 
"The MP3 encoder must be unlocked before use. Please visit http://www.cakewalk.com/ to upgrade..."
 
Also it seems to have a 48000 16 bit limitation.
