In-app activation/refresh

You can now activate Cakewalk directly from within the app, without requiring BandLab Assistant.

When starting Cakewalk for the first time, you will be presented with a BandLab sign-in dialog box. After signing in, Cakewalk will automatically activate itself.

Activation will occur automatically when launching the app if it is in the “grace period”, the period that begins when you see the timeout toast notification asking you to sign in to BandLab to activate soon.

Under normal circumstances, activation will require no manual user intervention going forward, beyond the initial sign-in.

Note that an internet connection is required for performing activation as described above but not required for general Cakewalk usage.
