Anyone else not hear back from Cakewalk before the Project 5 offer expired last Friday?
Just upgraded from Sonar 4 to Sonar 5 early last week, and then learned that Cakewalk had an offer in which S5 upgraders could also order Project 5 V2 for $149. Turns out it required you to order P5 at the same time as the S5 upgrade... so I sent an email to sales@cakewalk (after being on hold with their Sales phone line for a long time) asking about ordering P5 at the then-prevailing offer price, even though I'd already paid for the S5 upgrade a couple days earlier.
Never heard back... and Cakewalk sales tells that P5 will now cost $479. No good. Just curious if anyone else was unable to place an order (and is similarly unwilling to now) due to unresponsiveness.

Oh no! Tell me it ain't so! I too just upgraded to Sonar 5 PE from Sonar 4 PE and started looking at using P5 alongside S5. Just yesterday it showed I would pay $149 for P5 as a registered S5 owner. I was also interested in Dimension Pro which looked like I'd then need to pay $100 as a P5 owner. But now I don't see that option (maybe because I'm on my work computer, no cookie?). If you are correct about the $479 for P5 then none of that is going to happen for me. Oh well... Can anyone confirm the price for P5 for registered S5 owners? SilkTone

most of us already own p5. i just looked and even though the price is $479 (new) and $79 (upgrade) there is an area to enter you serial number or promotion code have you tried that.

I will try the serial number tonight but just yesterday it showed 3 price points, including one for Sonar 5 owners. So I am almost 100% sure the special is officially over.  Seriously, I was looking at P5 as an addition to Sonar 5 because I wanted to get a little bit more into loop-based programming, so this is a bit of a bummer to have it pulled out of my hands just as I was about to purchase it. I really wasn't paying attention to the deadline because my interest in P5 only started a few days ago... SilkTone

I tried the Sonar 5 serial# and the price shown is still $429.
No way I'm getting P5 now (or Dimension Pro). From $149 to $429. There doesn't even seem to be ANY discount for registered S5 users. Too bad...

I guess instead of P5 my best course of action then is to upgrade from Kontakt 1.5 to Kontakt 2 for about $170. And spend some time learning how to use Sonar's own looping features. Oh well, P5, I never knew ye... SilkTone

that sucks Silk. maybe we'll catch you on the next promo, bud! What a shame! They should have some type of better buy for Sonarites that isn't time sensitive.

Have a search round the internet, I managed to find P5 V1 on offer for £69 at Dawsonsonline and the upgrade price to V2 is only £50. Thats £119 as opposed to buying P5 V2 for £199.
