Sonar paid monthly.

According to the FAQ in the Cakewalk Announcement if you were currently on a pay to own plan your account should have been unlocked so that you can continue using Sonar. I would try sending Cakewalk an email.
 
 
 
What about monthly payment plans?
We have officially closed our web store, and any monthly payment plans will be automatically discontinued. If you started a monthly plan within the last year, your statement will reflect either Cleverbridge or Digital River as the merchant. If you have trouble finding this information, or have any outstanding payment questions, please contact Cakewalk support. If you are on a rent-to-own plan and not have made 12 payments we have unlocked authorization so you can continue to use SONAR without interruption.

Well, looks like it's not that nice. Sonar went to demo mode today. 

I would contact support as soon as possible.
Cakewalk has said users paying by month will receive Sonar unlocked.
 
Lets establish a few things first:
 
- How did you install the software ?
- Using Command center ?
- Using offline authorization ?

I don't think it could work that way. Why should someone get a full unlocked version after they only paid for a fraction? I personally think that it was a risk people took by deciding  to only pay by the month. 

Because it is the decent thing to do given this hot mess. The penalty for monthly payments is that you pay a little more, not that you may be left high and dry with nothing for your money through no fault or decision of your own.Why should they lose the money they have paid in so far? It is a compromise really. I suspect many in this situation would prefer a return refund and to spend their money on something with at least a shot at longevity.

I've just noticed an email with "We have recently canceled the following subscription." in it. No explanation. I try to contact the support. Maybe if somebody can cancel my subscription, maybe the other one can tell me what's going on.

 
You skipped right over my questions.
 
Now It doesn't really matter to me, your the one in demo mode. But you might want to establish a few things first-
 How did you install the software ?
 
If your not using Command center how are you authorizing ?
You need to connect through Command center to authorize or re export an offline authorization request.

So basically I guess the bottom line is you rented it for a few months. Too bad there wasn't an option to let people have an unlocked version at a discount, but maybe there are issues with selling through the online store after a company has been closed.

I'm sorry Chuckebaby. I didn't mean to ignore You. I installed it using command center ( 3 month ago ). Everything seemed to be as usual. Now I've checked My Products on the site and my Registration Codes are N/A.

No problem man.
the N/A is totally normal (it says the same for me too). What you want to do is click on Sonar on your My products page and then look for:

SONAR Platinum

This is a membership product, your membership ends on: ... ... ...

 The Cakewalk software is still hanging on the wall in a local GC.

I saw that too, Well I saw it on line for sale.
I left a review to warn people.

Hi! Sorry for insisting, but has anyone seen online retailers which are selling Sonar 2017?
 
I'm using Sonar 2017.07  but it is on demo mode, and I have to use Sonar X3 for saving projects. It's not bad at all but if I could buy an official update it would be great!
 
Please note I'm only asking this because I read people have seen online retailers selling Sonar.
 
Thanks!

Hi, anydmusic! Thanks, I'll give them a try!
