FYI...I Asked the Bakers if They Were Going to Extend Lifetime Updates Again...
...and the answer was
NO!
Since there wasn't a sticky warning that "the end is near," I figured some people might be thinking that maybe if they wait until after Jan 1 there will be a discount or a special or something...but I have it straight from the Bakers that it ain't gonna happen.
I'll delete this thread on Jan 1 because at that point, it will be irrelevant.

I kind of figured that would happen. I do wonder, though, how the renewals will be handled. In the past when we upgraded to the newest version there was usually something extra included in the price as a perk to upgrade. Will that still be a thing and if so will the Sonar Lifers get the same perks or will it be an added cost?

I was very grateful when the Bakers had extended the lifetimes offer to December 31 st a number of months back ... Haven't played hoops out in a fenced in street court since I was a teen, but man the hoops I had to jump through in my life to get the money to buy the lifetime upgrade within the Dec 31 st deadline brought me into the championship rounds .... It was a relief to have finally gotten it together enough to have gotten in on the lifetime deal this month ...  Kenny

Same here. Pretty much all of my software needs upgraded. My video editor is years out of date. I saw the upgrade price and decided to save to be able to get at that price. The exact day I went to buy it the price suddenly jumped $30. They wouldn't honor the previous price. It's only $30, but this time of year that can be a lot. So, back to saving a little at a time. Finally get to the point I can buy the upgrade and I get an email with a 15% off sale that ends on Jan 31st, which is actually a few dollars cheaper than the previous "deal". Uhhgg!

It would have been crazy if they extended it again. However, the real question is if/when it will be offered again. I'm glad to be on board, but I image a day will come when it is offered for a limited time again. Seems like an easy way to boost sales for a short period of time when necessary.

I really don't think they're planning that far ahead. Of course at some point they might consider it, or they might never consider it, or...anything's possible. This is such a fast-changing industry you really have to be able to turn on a dime. Maybe there will be a zombie apocalypse, and the Bakers will end up bartering Platinum for food...

I love BECAN (the Coffee House spelling for bacon) but I would NEVER barter my Platinum for BECAN. Well, maybe if I had two copies.....

Ed if anyone reading this doesn't know what Becan is by now they need to leave!
One thing for sure with software is you need to subscribe to forums and company newsletters to get the deals.
I got to the top of the heap here with Sonar 100% though e mail offers and reading the forum. I think this has netted me at least $300 in savings.
And then the other day at work I get an offer fom MIcrosoft for Office 2016 for $13 via a company bulk purchase. They did it a few years ago with 2013. It's the complete suite too.
And just last week the Air- Xpand!!2 pack. It's more than D pro gives you and it was free for anyone who joined the DJWORX forum. I hope lots of folks here caught that one.
The week before I bought the Air - Strike2 drums for $43, (reg price is $180 can.)
This wonderful drum VST came to me as a result of a thread here about Home Studio.
And the week before that I got W10 for free from MS because I read something on their forum about how to go about it. So remember that deadline and the panic to get on board? MS is still offering a back door and keeping it quiet. But it's on their forum and they are more than happy to make it work.
Now If I could only find Dream weaver for $40 my year will be complete. I'm still using MS front Page 2003 :(
