Hi, Tom,
I suspect that JAWS has mistakenly decided that you need to reauthorize your
unit of JAWS. The JAWS software detected a change in your system set-up and
generated the dreaded Error 6 message I will bet.
If my theory is correct, you will find that when you press INSERT+J and then
ALT+H and type the letter A as in apple, JAWS will report that your JAWS
Serial Number is 801 and that you're in 40-minute demo mode. The next time
you restart your PC or start JAWS, you will be told that you must
reauthorize your copy of JAWS. If your PC's online, you'll have the option
to go to Freedom Scientific's site and download another authorization key
for your unit of JAWS.
Since your SN is 801, CakeTalking's own authorization function determines
that you are running a different Serial Number of JAWS then the one for
which you are authorized and issues that message you're getting accordingly.
Let me know if my theory is incorrect. If you want to write to me off-list,
use my billlist1@xxxxxxxxxxx address as our info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx address is
temporarily unavailable.
Also, if I'm right, be sure to protest to Freedom Scientific's own support
people. Freedom is aware of this problem but has not yet corrected it. I
did post a request for people to download and run a simple test utility from
FS designed to help them debug this problem. I'm told that very few people
responded. If you'd like more info let me know and I'll re-post that
message.
Bill

Hi Bill, I just upgraded my pc to 1 gig of memory and downloaded the CT 5.2
version. I completed the process of setting up and registered on the web
site. I'm still getting a message that the version I am using is not
authorized and can't do any work. What else do I need to do.
Thanks Tom

>

SONAR

>
> This new release of CakeTalking for SONAR 5 has numerous new features,

>
> Some highlights follow. See http://www.dancingdots.com/ct/5.2/ for a
> download link for CakeTalking for SONAR version 5.2.
>
> 1. The CakeTalking tutorial is updated with loads of new information on
soft

on
> and on. There's an informative, completely revised lesson on using soft

Press

way
> that doesn't leave you mystified and having to search elsewhere for

> 2. Scrubbing in the Clips pane has been implemented. As veteran
CakeTalking
> users know, scrubbing in the Clips Pane is a great way to execute detailed
> editing of audio. Well, it is even easier in CakeTalking 5. And, for
those
> who have hardware control surfaces, CakeTalking gives helpful verbal
> feedback to users of the TranzPort and other control surfaces. For
example,
> CakeTalking will say the new Measure, Beat and Tick as you rotate the
> TranzPort's jog wheel. And CakeTalking announces the name of the current
> track when you use TranzPort's buttons to move up and down in the Track
> Pane.
> 3. The VST Sfz soundfont player is supported. This is a dynamite plug in
> that allows you to play soundfonts.
> 4. Reading Meter levels is reliable and has been sped up. Here's what you
> can do.
> A. Press F2 once, says peak meter level of current track.
> B. Press F2 twice quickly, resets the now time to where the peak meter
first
> registered its latest peak.
> C. Press F2 3 times quickly, nulls the current tracks peak meter, so that
it
> can start registering new peak meter levels again.
> D. Press SHIFT+F2, and all meters will turn off.
> E. Press CONTROL+F2, turns all meters on. This is good for sighted users,
> but puts a load on the CPU.
> F. Hold CONTROL and press F2 twice quickly, displays just the peak meters
so
> that there's no additional load on the CPU.
> 5. CakeTalking is faster and more reliable than ever before. Navigating,
> skipping to columns and tracks, and using many hotkeys in the Track View
is
> faster. You'll find this especially true during playback when you're
Muting,
> Soloing, Navigating, pressing ENTER on buttons, and skipping to tracks and
> columns.
> 6. The skip to track, and skip to column hotkey scheme has been changed,
> simplified and sped up. Here's how it works.
> A. To skip to a track, hold CONTROL, and type the track number with the
> numpad keys. Then let go of the control key, and press NUMPAD ENTER.
You'll
> immediately move to that track. You can type up to track 99. So you can
> very quickly jump to any track in your project from 1 to 99!
> B. To skip to a column in the track pane, hold SHIFT, and type the column
> number using the numpad keys. Then let go of the SHIFT key, press the
ENTER
> key on the NumPad and you'll move to that column position.
> 7. Dozens of Cakewalk effects are supported. Some other non-cakewalk
effects
> are supported including the marvelous Lexicon Pantheon Reverb.
> 8. You can move tracks or buses up or down one row at a time, using
> backslash to move down, and shift backslash to move up. This process is
> faster than before.
> 9. In the Track Pane, pressing HOME will focus you on track 1. Pressing
End
> will focus you on the last track.
> 10. When holding CONTROL+SHIFT and pressing enter twice, CakeTalking will
> now report on the select state of all the tracks in the project, not just
> the tracks on the current page.
> 11. Hiding tracks and buses is now supported. Hiding tracks may be
desirable

> amongst all of them. More rarely, you may have so many buses that you
want
> to simplify navigating in the bus pane. You can hide or unhide tracks and
> buses using the Track Manager dialog, CakeTalking will not get confused
when
> you have hidden tracks. It will behave normally.
> 12. There are new options dialogs accessed with F4.
> A. Pressing F4 in the System Exclusive view will bring up the SysX Options
> dialog for inserting, deleting and editing SysX banks.
> B. Pressing F4 in the Bus Pane will open the Bus Pane Options dialog, with
> the option to open the Track Manager.
> C. In the track pane, when you open the Track Options dialog with F4, you
> will find an option to open the Track Manager.
> D. In the track pane, when you press CONTROL+I, the Insert Delete, Move
and
> Hide Unhide track dialog opens. At the bottom of the list you will find
the
> option to open the Track Manager.
> E. In the VST Sfz dialog, pressing F4 will open its options dialog that
> makes the Sfz dialog completely accessible.
> 13. If you do a JAWS SayLine, INSERT+UP ARROW, on a folder in the Track
> Pane, JAWS will tell you the contents of that folder. That would be the
> number of Audio, MIDI, and soft synth tracks in it, as well as if any of
> those tracks are hidden.
> 14. Muting and Unmuting selected clips is supported. When you have
selected
> an area of a track, or tracks, you can mute them by pressing the letter Q,
> or CONTROL+M. To unmute them, press Q or CONTROL+M again. CakeTalking
can't
> tell you if the clips have been muted or unmuted, but you will know when
> listening to playback.
> 15. There are some very useful new User Preferences in the User Preference
> dialog. Here they are.
> A. Hotkeys that have double or triple key presses to execute different
> functions can be sped up. So if you are consistently a very fast typist,
> select Faster Multiple Press Hotkeys.
> B. During Playback when changing a value, for instance the output volume,
> you may not want to have the audio disturbed by JAWS reporting the new
> value. The value change hotkeys can now be silenced during playback
> C. When pressing the transport hotkeys of Space, CONTROL SPACE, W, R, and
> CONTROL SHIFT SPACE, Jaws says what you've done, For instance, play stop
> rewind, etc. You can silence JAWS from echoing these transport hotkeys.
> D. If you find that after pressing an arrow key to navigate in the track
> pane, that JAWS mistakenly reports the column that you were on, rather
than
> the one you navigated to, there is a user preference that will slow down
> these keys and make them reliable. This may sometimes be necessary on very
> slow computers.
> 16. There have been numerous bug fixes. Here are a few important ones.
> A. When navigating in the track and bus panes, JAWS was sometimes
> incorrectly reporting that you were wrapping up or down to a track. This
has
> been fixed.
> B. When in playback, pressing Insert+ num 8 in the track or bus panes was
> sometimes reporting incorrect information. This has been fixed.
> C. If the Inspector is open when you close Sonar, then the next time Sonar
> is opened, the Inspector will be displayed. This caused problems in past
> versions of CakeTalking. This has been fixed.
> D. When in the Inspector, you can assign different controls to an external

focus
