Hi, all Cakewalk USERS!
I am from Poland, and I paid for liftime updates (199 USD is not a small money in Poland!!!). I wrote an email with a very shy question: what they are going to do with all the USERS who trust them and spent money for lifetime updates... Unfortunately, still no answer from Cakewalk Support...
I would like to ask if anybody turned to tchem with such a question (or similar). I will appreciate your oppinin. THX!

Do not expect a refund. **** happens and they will not keep their lifetime promise. You were NOT screwed though. For the $199 you were given a tremendous value, excellent DAW that will work years from now and third party plugins (AD2, TH3, Blue Tubes. etc) worth much more than $199.

Hej, Kolego z Warszawy :-) To, że Cakewalk jest jednym z najlepszych DAW, nie musisz mi uświadamiać. Mam z nim styczność od prawie 20 lat. A to, że "dostałem" wtyczki do programu - to nie tylko JA, ale i WSZYSCY CI, którzy wcale nie musieli "bulić" za dożywotnią aktualizację, nieprawdaż??? A to jest jednak subtelna różnica...
W każdym razie, bardzo dziękuję za "odzew", mimo iż możemy się różnić, co do kwestii podejścia biznesowego. Tak się , po prostu, nie robi... No, cóż, ale nie będę pewnie wynajmował dobrej, "starozakonnej" kancelarii prawniczej z NY, aby zapytać, czy mój "lifetime" się skończył i czy pora do Pana :-) Najlepszego w afro-bębnieniu :-) MS

Jakbyś nie zabulił za dożywocie to byś płacił subskrypcję (za niewiele mniejsze pieniądze) i za kilka miesięcy zostałbyś z niczym. Jestem wściekły, nieco oszukany ale NIE okradziony.

To, Kolego, nie chodzi o pieniądze - ale o ZASADY... Nie użyłem słowa kradzież, ale mogę się czuć oszukany...

All those features were included before lifetime updates. When talking about what you get for the lifetime updates, I'd suggest only mentioning things released after that time. Which depending on when someone bought the Lifetime Updates during the period, might only include major enhancements like Ripple Editing and Adaptive limiter, which I certainly wouldn't have paid $200 for alone as they are locked to Sonar features.

To all users who does not know Polish. Sorry, for a "debate" in my national language. It was a normal exchange of Polish users oppinions.
Anyway, still waiting for "voices" in English from other sites. THX in advance!

Generally you are right, but he says he paid only $199 so in this case it does not matter what was included before lifetime.

Dear Afrodrum: it seems to you did not pay 200 bucks for lifetime updates - so, please fo not confuse terms. It was "a deal", and I can feel cheated, can't I? Ancient Romes used to say pecunia non olet - it was 200 bucks no more and no less... :-)
