What updates have been made since the lifetime roll out?

Sonar Platinum is the only version currently available for lifetime updates, and that only until the end of the month. Cakewalk will have every bit as much incentive to improve the program in its various versions after that as it ever has in order to stay attractive to new users, competitive with other developers and to retain its current user base via paid renewals/upgrades as in the past. Any change in this practice will not be the result of a limited time offer.

Yes. There are a couple of months last year which had content available to members during that time. For example, members in Feb 2015 received Brian Hardgroove’s Bass Loop Library. People purchasing/upgrading SONAR in March 2015 or later would not receive this library for free. Otherwise the most recent version contains all updates since day one.

Thanks for your help guys. That sounds like I'd be jumping 2 versions ahead for about the price of one and still get updates moving forward.
