Concerned to receive and email from Cakewalk. Is this legitimate or a scam? The website to renew the subscription isn't even Cakewalk, its a company called Digital River. I've copied the text below, if anyone from Bandlab requires me to forward the email, please let me know.

I received it too and assumed it was the real deal from the old Sonar payment system.
Of course, you needn't pay anything as that's for the old Sonar, which was replaced by Cakewalk by BandLab which is now free.
Delete the email.

I believe Digital River was the last company Cakewalk used for its store. Cakewalk stopped selling their products last year when Gibson shut down Cakewalk operations. The email should not have been sent.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like it may be an automated email from Cakewalk of old. Probably worth someone at Bandlab taking a look.  It's not ideal that there is activity from the old company system firing out emails like this. 
 

It's Digital River who made the mistake of sending this out not the "old" cakewalk which doesn't exist anymore.

It probably is worth someone at BandLab looking at it. It should not affect your installed SONAR but it might and BandLab owns the keys to the activation servers so they can make sure your license continues. Even if you switched over to CbB you want them to check because you might have plugins that are potentially affected.

But that's on the remote chance not renewing would result in your license expiring. Digital River is not supposed to require any further renewals, but things slip through. Best to make sure you are covered, regardless.

It would seem, oddly enough, that it is indeed both.

Did you contact them? They had been informed to shut down the service a long time ago so its definitely some left over automated email on their end. Please don't respond to any renewal emails since that is obsolete now.

If you click the links, you can enter all your info and credit card!!! 

Didn't contact them, I just ignored the email. I did however receive another email today informing me that my subscription has now been cancelled as I didn't renew it in time. It's clearly coming from cakewalk.com so if anyone at Bandlab would like the email forwarded for further investigation, let me know! Definitely an attempt, be it automated or not, to try and encourage people to make a purchase. The link is directed to findmyorder.com and it's operated by Digital River.
