It just displays a white empty Window and then nothing more happens. Today I decided to solve the problem.īut no way, after hours of frustration I don't get the BandLab Assistent to run properly. Because my computer is normally not at the internet (even away from the house) I delayed my actions. Yes, I know I have to use the Assistent (what a misleading name!) to reactivate. Hooray! You've now downloaded Cakewalk! You have a vast amount of fun and music ahead of you, and you only need to know some basic rules.Some days ago I tried to use CbB on my recording machine, but no luck, it said 'Activation required'. Follow the on-screen instructions to download Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Click the download button for Cakewalk by Bandlab. Navigate to the 'apps' tab in Bandlab Assistant. Afterwards, follow the steps above in 'if you have an account.' You will be taken to the Bandlab site to create your account. Hit 'sign up' and follow the on-screen instructions. Go back to the Bandlab assistant and hit 'log in' again. It will take you to the Bandlab site to authenticate you. It will prompt you to log in if have an account or create an account if you don't. When it is finished downloading, you should see a welcome screen. It will probably be called 'bandlab-assistant-windows-latest.exe.' Double-click it to initiate download.

On the site linked above, click 'Download.' An exe file will download to your computer. If you have all of the above, then you are ready to download Cakewalk! The website says you need an Intel Core i5, but I have a Core i3 and it works fine, though it's a little slow. Windows 7 used to be able to be used, but after Windows 11 came out, the website says only Windows 8.1 and up can be used. The system requirements website doesn't actually say you can use Windows 11, but it will probably work.

Windows 8.1, 10, 11 (64-bit ONLY for all of them).

A Bandlab account (you can use an existing account, or you can create one whilst downloading Bandlab Assistant).2 Step 1: Bandlab Assistant and account.
