Updated today, and TH3 ran no problem, now tonight there are no presets, and it says I need to authorize product.
I did install the update through the CC. Any ideas?

Anyone know what the cost is to upgrade from the included version to the full version of TH3? I really like this plugin.

This is what I was told by Overloud when I asked about availability of the upgrade path to TH3 full:

"in a few days Cakewalk should announce the upgrade available on their store"

I guess we have to wait...   when Cakewalk know, we will know.

It shouldn't do this - maybe try uninstalling and re-installing the boutique FX? (in CCC or manually)

Here's another sanity check question re: the input sensitivity setting. The manual and the tooltips (in TH3) say the opposite.
 
The manual says:

"Sensitivity: changes input sensitivity as much as it would be on a real amp. LOW is best suited for single coils, HIGH for usually works better with humbuckers."

The tooltips say the opposite.
 
I'm thinking that high is the setting for single coils - what does anyone else think?

Here's the reply I got back from Thomas at Overloud:
Hi John,
thank you for pointing out this mistake on the tooltip.
The right version is the one on the manual. In fact when people connect the guitar to the computer they usually normalize the input level (using the level knob of the audio interface) so TH3 receives more or less the same input level, as opposite to what happens on a real amp which receives a lower level if you are using a single coil pickup.
To recreate this difference it may be useful to set the TH3 input to LOW when using single coil and to HIGH when using humbuckers.
 
So, I had it backwards ;-)
It seems like it doesn't really matter too much how you set it though...

Here is the YouTube video from Cakewalk about the TH3 update in Sonar

So basically this is just a demo I downloaded?  There wasn't a serial for TH2 either.

You get the "Cakewalk Version", which doesn't require a serial number or any activation (that was my initial question). This is a subset of the "full" TH3 - which has more amps/cabs/fx.
 
But you can then download a demo of the Full TH3, which is supposed to run for a couple of weeks (full access to everything) - then I guess it just reverts back to the Cakewalk version.

I wonder if there will be any special discount deals to get the full version upgrade from the cakewalk version..........

I asked Overloud the same thing and got the following response on April 27th, 2016

"yes in a few days Cakewalk should announce the upgrade available on their store."
