Hi David

I have had the free cakewalk ever since it was introduced by band lab.
As a matter of interest the demo time limitation was removed with an update within a couple of weeks with an update,
However the actual download and install instructions I seem to remember where very specific in that you had to open an account (free) then install from there.
If you down loaded and installed without opening an account you got the problem you had. As far as I can recall.
Regards
Mike
