I don't understand the financial benefit to offer me a $99 lifetime updates deal when I've been paying $50/month for the past year. Something doesn't add up. I am skeptical into buying this right now.
The email says:
Limited-time Offer: Lifetime Updates will be available only through August 31st, 2016. Act now to secure your Lifetime Updates.
I guess I can wait until after the big June 1st announcements and then make a decision, but this is perplexing to me why they offer this!
Yes, you should wait till June 1st. The email we sent to customers today were for those that upgraded to Platinum last year and then did the renewal this year. They already paid this year so we felt we needed to send them a more personal email ahead of time to explain it. We also asked them not to share the link as it might cause confusion for others who had not renewed or even upgraded to SONAR Platinum yet :)

Oh I'm sorry - I thought it was OK to post as I see previous posts about it. I'm sorry if I did something wrong.

It's not you, that happened much earlier :) I mean we knew the word was going to get out. In your case though, better to wait until June 1st.

The June 1st email went to spam, which Cakewalk emails never do. Started off with the Plat membership, but started a new one last September. Taps toe until June 1st...
A deep chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night. It is an outburst of wild defiant sorrow, and of contempt for all the adversities of the world. - Aldo Leopold

The teaser said that they've been listening to US. Perhaps that means more actual songwriting tools e.g. Chord track, arranger tools
That's what I am strongly hoping for.

hmmm... i doubt they would make SUCH a huge deal over those features.... we have had very big improvements already in the past 18 months without a warning like this. I reckon it is something bigger...

I am a platinum subscriber who renewed pretty recently. I did not get the email. I tend to empty spam without looking at them, so maybe it went there. Please send again, and I will check spam, too. Thank you in advance.

I too didn't get the eMail. Could I get a refresh on the eMail list as well? Thanks I suppose I should add that I am a Platinum member that resubscribed January 19th of this year, too. FWIW -- I see a $199 price

I just checked out the Cakewalk Store. Looks like my price for the "one-time lifetime" deal is $149. $99. (thanks for the fix, Andrew) I renewed in January '16, for what it's worth. If I imagine myself in Cakewalk's shoes, offering this deal doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I can afford to wait to June 1st and find out the rest of the story before making a decision.
