This version of Sonar Producer Edition 5.0.1 has several limitations, as detailed on the Cakewalk web site.
You can't save files, put data on the Windows clipboard, export audio, Acid files, videos, or MIDI groove clips, or bounce to clips or tracks. There are several other limitations too, which are basically designed to allow you to work with the Sonar 5 demo but not really preserve the results. Furthermore, several instruments and plug-ins aren't included.
However, you do get trial versions of 11 Sonitus Direct X plug-ins, the Cyclone and Dreamstation DXi2 synths, the TTS1 DXi (although it stops functioning after 10 minutes and beeps every 10 seconds), the Pentagon I and PSYN II DXis, an SFZ Soundfont sample player, and eight Cakewalk MFX MIDI plug-ins. There's also the option of downloading a variety of content, including templates, to make it easier to evaluate the system. (Note that you need Direct X 9 installed on your computer for the demo to work.) For more info, as well as details about downloading, visit
