Still haven't seen a definitive on that.
 
What is the drop dead upgrade for the advertised price date?

There isn't one.  Some people have received email saying it will be Real Soon Now.  I've received emails that make no mention of it.  Cakewalk has said the date isn't fixed but we'll get ample notice. whatever that means.

It may well mean you will get an email saying it will be Real Soon Now. Or not.

It is kind of insulting that they do that. Attempting to make you panic buy to get the product. I do not want to lease this stuff for a month at a time. I am used to the upgrade path and refuse to lease stuff. I would have rather seen a upgrade time frame so I can budget the funds to outright purchase the upgrade.
 
Bakers, how about an expiry date for the offer? You can PM me, e-mail me, or post it outright for LONG TIME users of your product.

I guess it needs to be said *yet one more time* 
 
It is a payment plan (not a lease) if you pay 12 consecutive months. At the end of those 12 payments you own the fully functioning unlocked product *no differently* than the person who paid upfront on the same day one as you.
 
Yes, that is more than $149 but hey if you can't plop down $149 now, and don't want to pay a little more over time, then I do not know what to tell you.

That is not my main question and yes, I understand that fully. I read some conflicting info on that in a marathon thread. I am not interested in causing a debate on the monthly plan. I want to purchase the upgrade, as I have mentioned, like I have reluctantly done in the past. 
 
I would rather have you answer my main question rather than pick apart my posts please. :)
 
Yet one more time, I received another 'this offer ends soon' e-mail with no hard and fast date of the end date.
 
Hurry Sheep, BUY IT NOW does not really motivate me. Deadlines, great product and great deals motivate me...

It's marketing and it happens all the time. It might be frustrating but I wouldn't go as far to say it's insulting, you don't have to buy it. It worked on me I bought it earlier than expected. Baa baa! 

yeah, I am not saying the bakers are doing that exclusively. I also turn the channels on the TV when commercials come on too. I can watch 5 shows in a half hour that way.  :-D
 

Well I rather approve of this (warning bad language and very negative humour/humor! ):

Got a another mail today, saying the offer ending real soon.
Didn't dare to wait any longer, another white one
to join the herd. .
