The information in this article applies to:

The Dimension Pro disc included with SONAR 8 Producer Edition does not include the x64 version. If you are using an x64 edition of Windows and would like to use the native x64 version of Dimension Pro on Windows x64 see the instructions below.

In order to access this free download you must be a registered Dimension Pro customer. If you have not registered your product you can register online now.

1. Click here to download the version 1.2 update.
2. Run the 'DimensionPro1.2Updater.exe' to apply the patch
3. Once the installer is finished, you will have to run SONAR with Administrative Privileges. To do this, right-click on the SONAR 8 icon and select "Run as Administrator".
