Can I download X1a,b,c updates and patches with out buying SONAR X1?


I'm just asking because I'm trying to figure out if the updates are *free* or if I have to pay something to get access to them?




I thought it seemed simple... but some one is trying to confuse me and make it seem complicated.

Why are you being a dick?

I don't know why don't you try and report back?

Though I don't know what good they would do if you don't have X1.

Of course you may want CW to give X1 away free thus you can have some use for those patches.

Oh BTW you would only need to DL the C patch because it has all the other patches in it as well.

It may be best not to humour him. This thread will only get longer and for what point?

You're right!

Because it would be against the TOS for him to refer to the person in question that way. Yet the other guy seems to be able to be annoying for the sake of it with impunity. And for that matter how are you entitled to shoot your mouth off to another member with a personal insult? Go figure.

Annoying in this case must be in the eye of the beholder.  LOL

For the record, you can download the patches without supplying a registration code, so the answer would be yes. You know, if we're being mindlessly pedantic about it.

As always, people who like to bang on most about terms of service violations are attempting to abuse the rules by bandying about their letter, not their spirit. It's the classic move of the true internet troll. God knows why, it doesn't actually work.

I would guess nobody reading gives a monkeys about it; if you think it's got legs, go and report it to a moderator. I bet you get little response.

You and John do more to disrupt this board than anybody else, nobody can put any kind of reasoned counter forward without a thread being reduced to rubble by one of you.

I don't give much credence personally to insulting anybody, but in the case of either of you two and the way this forum is going my membership here is becoming increasingly pointless and my desire to toe the line is quickly diminishing.

Some folks never change. I for one am not surprised. But I will never understand why someone goes out of their way just to annoy and rattle the cage of others.  Cross we have to bear for free speech.

Come on Mike, this stuff is kind of funny in the Coffee House, but here its rather pathetic.

You're right!

Correction, you merely agree with the TOS violation here.

There's no right about it.

I have no idea what you are going on about.

If you are so concerned about a TOS violation perhaps you would tell your friend to stop trolling against CW. Or don't you see the implied bashing in Mikes post?

I see his post as a response to your refusal to see anything but your view on how updates are funded.

Mike is saying he would actually pay (and does) directly for improvements to the issues he has with software to be implemented.  And yet you seem to be on a crusade to silence or derail any voice that doesn't ring in harmony with your views.

But you carry on mate you're going to do whatever you are going to do.

I've never seen the forum in the state it's currently in where pretty much every thread is reduced to rubble where at one time there used to be reasoned debate.  Sides used to be taken on point not personalities.

There were enough people around at that time though for you to be a just minor in the background annoyance now you've managed to overrun this place...well done mate.

I don't even care anymore.

Normally, a person can't download the patches from the Cakewalk support site, unless they prove that they made a purchase of the product (which is done by entering a product key the first time an attempt is made to download a patch for a particular product.) If it seems a person can download a patch without entering a product key, it's most likely because that person has been to the CW site previously and entered a product key for that product, or because CW made a mistake and the site is allowing downloads without proof of purchase.

And of course, the other way to get a patch is the illigitimate way dealing with software piracy. And I wont elaborate on that.

No, seriously, you can just download them, not logged in, from any old computer you like. Try it. Not the quick fixes, for some reason, but the patches, yeah.

Yes.

Indeed you can.  I'm glad your question was answered.

If that is the case, it's a change from how it worked in the pass. In the past, a person would have to enter a product key to get the download. Oh well, it's nothing I'm overly concerned about.

maybe the Johns could have their own subforum?

If I annoy you I have done my duty then.

My refusal to agree with Mike? How ridiculous. Since when is it that anyone has to agree with Mike?

All I see with Mike is a troll that is trying to persuade people not to buy X1. I see you as providing backup for him.

I think that is an outrage and should be stopped. If you two were on an independent forum I would not have an issue with what you both are trying to do. Here I think CW should ban you both.

I have had a very high regard for Mike in the past. I now see him as having only one intent.

Preserved due to it's priceless nature...

Unbelieveable.

Is it that they are availble because they are installers that detect the product is in fact installed on the target machine, whereas the Quick Fixes are not accessable because they are just drag and drop perhaps?

It doesn't matter. A patch does nothing without the main program. 
Why are you treating this like it is a legitimate query? Why are you still posting when you said you were out of here?
