Benefit of subscribe NOW
Got an invitation mail. Now I ask myself:
If I subscribe NOW by paying upfront, my subscription ends earlier than when I wait for the official release or even longer. So what's the benefit of this invitation?
Don't get it somehow. What's the intention of this invitation?

We're part of a trial to help Cakewalk evaluate all the new systems that come into play in the purchase, download, installation and registration process. Cakewalk have invested a considerable amount in all these system and rightly is testing them out.
As well, once we have the program installed successfuly we get to use it and help promote it on the forum, which is working out well as its been a very stable and mature release.
I don't think there's any hidden agenda, in fact when talking with the cakewalkers through the forum there's this joy that comes through what they say because this is not just a new program release it's a new Cakewalk all round as far as I'm concerned.

So Accepting the invitation bares the risc of having to renew earlier in order to get the latest bug fix, while being part of cakewalks test phase without getting paid for my testing if their model?
Can't see a benefit of this invitation, really.

Being that cake have said it better to test on a small user base than a large one, then invites are to be testers. So excepting the invite is helping them out.
I think it would be better of all those testers had their subscription time start from the release date.

So what if you'll be paying a few days before everyone else? Before isn't the same as more. ..Just ..before..

Exactly. I accept the invitation, buy NOW, buying bugs which slipped through, too, which I spend time on finding/reporting for them to squash for the official release, and as a reward, I get the necessity to renew earlier to have a further supported product... This is an invitation to help THEM, by ensuring the quality of their work AND ensuring them to get money earlier. What invitation is that? They claim to bring more value to their customers. To me it seems like they bring more value to themselves, on my cost.

If you don't want it, just send the invitation over to me and I'll take over that heavy burden of yours.. :P

You were offered the chance to get the new Sonar a week or so before everyone else, you jumped at the chance, now you're complaining?

If you're too thick to understand, please do us a favour and don't buy the upgrade which isn't a subscription and go buy another daw. You're starting to sound like a troll after your last post with the same drivel.

Dipping our toe in the water is for your benefit. We're being rather thorough, but if the unlikely scenario where something goes terribly wrong occurs, we'll be able better manage/repair it with 20 new customers vs a million. It's not exactly a "test launch" - but it's helping us be confident before releasing to the whole world. I hope you understand.

Or actually... don't buy any DAW. You'll just be another "fool" spending time finding/reporting bugs that only future users will benefit from anyway...
