I think you are asking what happens if you let your subscription lapse for 12 months.  I believe what Cakewalk has been trying to say all along is (essentially) that their system (your account at the store) will show you are entitled to only those content items that were made available during the months when your subscription was active, plus anything that is considered integral to the core product.
 
The implication of that is that every user's "set of owned items" so to speak, could be different, depending on which months their subscription was paid up.  That implies a bit of sophistication in the download management system, but I think that's what they have been trying to say.
 
And the other implication seems to be that if you do let your subscription lapse for a period of time, there may be no way you could ever legally acquire the content you missed.  Cakewalk could offer "catch-up fees" or offer to license the missed content on an a la carte basis, but they have not promised to do that, as far as I know.  Cakewalk's goal is to have users maintain their subscriptions.  That's the whole point of this change.  That gives Cakewalk a more predictable revenue stream, which allows them to hire staff and partner with 3rd parties to get this content out to us.  That's the deal.

Fantastic! Thanks for all the awesome stuff Cakewalk.

Every merger or acquisition I have ever seen trumpets the fantastic "synergy" that is sure to follow.  In almost every case, "synergy" actually means layoffs of redundant functions.  This really does seem like one of those very rare cases where there truly is synergy and it isn't about layoffs.  Clearly Cakewalk is in a much better place with Gibson.  The Cakewalk staff must be really excited at this stage.

I'm going to do something I rarely do here, and put on my Gibson hat. Gibson creates a challenging environment, and there is always pressure to go above and beyond. I'm sure this is indeed exciting for Cakewalk but it can be scary.
 
That said, what they pulled off in the last year has been remarkable. It has been a combination of trying to regain what was lost while also moving forward. A lot of effort was spent on consolidating the three different web sites into one, and doing a huge number of "under the hood" improvements to SONAR that aren't particularly sexy, but were essential to move forward. Despite any shortcomings of the new installer, they will be fixed and the concept of being able to update in smaller chunks is sound.
 
Gibson did not acquire Cakewalk to fire everyone, make the bottom line look good for a few months, then flip it. The goal was to have Cakewalk be a valuable addition to Gibson Brands and provide a level of software expertise you can't just create out of nothing. Cakewalk has done an amazing job, with relatively limited resources but also with a very dedicated team.
 
The synergy is still in its early stages...it will be interesting to see what Neat Microphones brings to the party, too. These are very exciting times at Gibson, and Cakewalk is definitely a part of that.

I'm in with Braintree and many thanks to the bakers for this awesome release!!!!
i have a question.....i have all the new stuff but i would know if the new version is correct.
my version after the cc update is 21.00.01 build 254 ×64.
Thanks in advance

Did you also upgrade the Sonar Platinum Core ?  I have build 21.01.00 Build 37.

I downloaded the updates from my account on the cakewalk store, copied them to my offline daw, installed them and all is perfect!
Thanks Cakewalk for such a solid build!
 

Do we need to install all the items in the Command Center again?? Where precisely are the updates??

I know the following:
 
- Sonar Platinum itself
- NYC Showroom Impulses
- BOZ Digital Labs
 
Do we need to reinstall Rapture?
