I would like to know if any of the fixes for the Platinum version of Sonar would be applicable to the Sonar X3 Producer version that I own? It seems that anything that would fix any of the outstanding problems with Sonar X3 should be available without having to purchase a newer version. I must admit that I am not a fan of your new method of purchasing. It seems to me that we are being asked to purchase a product before we know all of the parts and we are told that we don't have to install what we don't want, even though we do have to pay for it! Sorry but I like to know in advance what I am getting so I can decide if I need it.
Please advise if any updates to outstanding fixes to Sonar X3 producer will ever be considered. That way I can know if I'm going to continue with this product or not. BTW I also own a Roland Fantom so I'm familiar with companies that abandon their customers. I hope that Gibson is not following Roland's business practices!!

Why would Sonar updates apply to X3?  Did X3 updates apply to X2?

I must admit that I am not a fan of your new method of purchasing.

Then use the same method of purchasing used for X3 and every Cakewalk DAW before it, the one-time up front payment option. The biggest different is the more frequent update cycle and the (announced a year in advance) upgrade cycle which is now called a membership.
 
Just like every version of  a Cakewalk DAW before it, when the new version is released, updates to the old version cease. With the new model there is no guessing when your upgrade cycle begins and ends.
