 Have the servers been turned off? (about 5-6 hours ago now)
 
Whilst downloading my stuff, the download stopped.
I now cannot get on the www.cakewalk.com page, nor to my products.

Just tried myself, and looks like the Cakewalk.com pages are all down! Unless this is accident, then Gibson are delivering the MOST appalling treatment of users EVER and frankly (and I don't especially like bringing lawyers into everything) should be subject to a class action in the US if they don't get these up again, given the "promises" that have been made and those people who have paid for an annual subscription to find they get nothing for their money.
 
Can I suggest everyone gets on Twitter to call this out, and to tell Gibson that they've just lost a load a potential customers not only for Gibson branded stuff, but also their recent acquisition of Philips's Home Entertainment brands. Maybe also call out to Philips as this WILL tarnish their worldwide brand as well (just done this https://twitter.com/AndrewLMacaulay/status/934704175614758912)

What a pity that cakewalk close, i have lately used a lot of time to find THE daw, i think i testet them all, i ended with sonar because of their great support and outstanding updates (i never seen that before - updates every month wow) and they actually LISTEN to the users..wow
 
i was considering Platinium, but now well.. :-)
it will be very difficult to find similar replacement, so i will use sonar as long as i can

1-The best thing to do is to copy all Store licenses you might have.
2-Many VST are not from Cakewalk, will work on... with support and updates.
3-Windows 10 is a great Platform, Cakewalk has so many features, it can be useful for at least more 3 years without feature updates.
4-REASON, CUBASE, PRO TOOLS, all are options with very, VERY different workflow, before migrating , take some time to keep using it.
5-Pull the PLUG, don´t panic about that, the initial letter said they won´t let everybody without license or way to activate it... soo keep it calm, keep it SCREAMING at Twitter and Petition to try a better horizon for a so fabulous software.
6-I am sad, very sad, but life goes on, GIBSON tried a business model to save Cakewalk, it failed hard, we don´t know anything about Cakewalk Team nor real situation, but at least, we still have the latest software.

I have just tried the Cakewalk site and it is still down.  I have been away all week and was going to download all the install files and serial codes this morning.  
 
Not happy!

I've just loaded My Account and My Products pages, but it took time.
 
Probably just overloaded with users waiting for the weekend to back up.
 
I wouldn't panic just yet

Servers still down, 11:20am here in the UK, 6:20 in Boston, so I wouldn't think it's a load problem.
