Upgrade from 7 to 8.5

  1. is it still possible to upgrade from Sonar 7 to 8 or 8.5? What are the prices?
  2. Is the upgrade from 8 to 8.5 a downloadable free patch  for users who have 8?

    No, it isn't. 8.5 isn't available anymore.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.

    The only legal way is if you find a boxed version that was unopened.

    In Cakewalk (and most companies these days) updates are free, upgrades are for pay. 8.5 was a paid upgrade.
