Hey all, I'm back after many days of gnashing, resuscitating my dead motherboard with a new one, and failing to get the old Windows 98SE installation on my hard drive to boot correctly with all the new system hardware.
Anyway, I finally bit the bullet and decided it was high time to move to XP.
Now I am installing my audio apps, and i have a bit of a problem. Maybe anyone that's been through this before can guide me to the best approach.
Just to be clear, I have been a long-time Cakewalk user and I am using legal, purcheased copies here.
Her's my issue -- when SONAR was released I bought SONAR 1 XL, with the Tassman. When I upgraded to SONAR 2, I decided the extra $$ for the XL stuff wasn't worth it, and just gotr the regular, non-XL edition. So my Tassman DXi was still available to me from the earlier installation.
Now, if I start my reinstall process with the 2.0 CD, I loose my Tassman. But if I start my install with the 1.0 CDs, I have a different problem (aside from the annoyance of having to install one version only to immediately isnatll the next on top, p[lus the patched versions, which have to be done in order, etc.) -- I can't find my 1.0 serial number.
Typically I have written my Serial Number inside the manual. But when I got the 2.0 version I decided that perhaps I might give or sell the old manual to someone who wanted it at some point, and soo I blacked out the number. The little card that cam e with it might be somewhere in my stuff, but it's not iin the folder where it should be.
I am not asking for a serial number. What I do want to know is:
(1) If the last part of the serial number is the same between versions, I'm cool if I know the front part, the bit that identifies the project and version. Can anyone who has both serial numbers handy just verify for me that the last part is the same between the two versions?
(2) Is it possible to install Tassman on its own after installing SONAR 2.0? It appears to be globbed into the SONAR 1.0 install, so I doubt it.
It's not a huge deal, and I can wait a little while, I have lots to do in the meantime -- re-entering 5 months worth of Quicken data that I lost, for example. I'll also try calling Cakewalk and see if they'll give me my number over the phone, if I don';t have to wait too long on hold.
Thanks, guys...
