It just does not feel incredible deal or special deal anymore.

I didn't realize that feeling good was part of the deal.

I had a feeling that in February 2017 next year when my year subscription is due that ,by that time my only option would be a lifetime option , maybe I am wrong but it looks like it's heading that way.

Hi  Bruce (tenfoot ) ,
 
Thank you for the kind words you said I appreciated reading them ....
 
 
Yes, when I saw the new offer in the e mail Cakewalk sent out ,  it pretty much made my day ...
Today when I went  to DMV to re-register my two vehicles and renew my drivers license I was having an absolute blast
A couple of the females that worked there were even flirting with me  ....that Cakewalk e mail I got today sure put me a real good mood and it seems to have done wonders for my love life ...
Please Cakewalk send me more e mails . You have done for me what I could not of done for myself in that one area of my life ....
 
The main reason why I brought this whole thing up is because I wasn't sure if I had to smog my car this year ...
The county where I live in WA has a thing where if for any reason your vehicle does not pass the State emissions you then have go to a DMV approved Auto Shop and pay the shop to prove to DMV that you tried to fix your car ...
That will get you a wavier good for 2 years .....
 
This whole thing reminds me exactly of how the Music Biznez can operate depending on where you are in the food chain ....
 
Essentially what I will end up doing is driving my car over to a  DMV approved shop  , hand the fella behind the counter a couple of papers that say's my car failed the smog check .
If he's in a good mood that day he may decide to offer me a free cup of coffee .
He may even pop the hood of my car ....then we negotiate a price between $150 to $200  ....
I will then hand the guy almost $200 dollars for the honor of him filling out a receipt that I can bring over to DMV to prove that I tried to fix my car 
 
If I even need air in my tires it's gonna cost me extra  I'm not kidding man ...they wont fix nothing .....
That is unless we hit the mid $300 + range ...( this is my 3 rd rodeo w this whole  song and dance )
 
SO Yeah , I think Cakewalk is offering me a great deal ..Lifetime updates for $199 ....
 
I'm very happy with SONAR ..I have total confidence that Cakewalk is gonna give me more than what I'm paying for ....
 
They always have
 
If I didn't have to jump through this little extra hoop w the car I would have upgraded my SONAR to lifetime today ..... 
 
thanks folks for listening  ,
 
Kenny

Hahaha - If it is anything like the wait in the DMV in Australia, you could be dating, married and divorced before you leave the office Kenny :)

I'm guessing there is a lot of sarcasm going on.
 
BTW would Cakewalk tells us how many lifetime licenses were sold?

Less than anticipated would be a guess. To answer the question more directly, no, Cakewalk would not share such a thing.

I really love my Sonar DAW but I have to say that "Many" people I know in the music industry are angry that things like this happen and I have to say that I'm a little taken back by this! I felt I was coming to the last moment where I "had to make a decision?" Many feel "what next?" again when the end date comes will it be extended?? then someone from Cakewalk will "Justify" the reasoning to Sonar Members??? I understand money situations can be tough, I have a mortgage & bills like most and Yes that still doesn't stop me from spending thousands on music instruments. Today most people "Don't Trust" businesses, the manipulation for more money One way or another and yet "I bought the Lifetime Upgrade?". After like most Sonar Members that have spent "Thousands" since the early years are now worried "What's Next???" these extensions only fuel the fear that people will be manipulated out of MORE MONEY for "Base-Level" or Core upgrades that are no more than "Theme's & Fixes?" I want to be "optimistic" and believe that Sonar hasn't changed like the "Gaming Industry" (whole other subject) which I have family working as designers/developers/programmers tell me about EA, Activision, Komami and milking more and more money.
 
As I said earlier "I do love Sonar" I've had such a great experience with it, very very little to no Lockups & Freezes, and I was a longtime ProTools HD user and before that Ampex/Studer 2" 30ips tape. I can go anywhere with any DAW, but I'll support Sonar because I believe it's That-Good!
