Those of us who have been Cakewalk users for going 20 years understand how great this deal is. Cakewalk are banking on turning more JJC users into long term customers and not the fair weather ones who will go crying off the Steinberg or throw their toys out of the pram. Subscription is the new model as far as creative products is concerned. The price point is low enough for people to take a punt and you will get new features as often as you used to and then some. I am getting used to the new features and of course thankfully it's not overwhelming us with things. Well done Cakewalk.

Indeed - it's "Rent to Buy" with "Evidence based Trialling".

As long as there is no break in payments after month 3 (ie, you pay month 4, 5, etc...) then the "special" price will continue until you've paid the full 12.
 
I believe if you miss a payment or two (or three or four) then the payment will revert to the "standard" rate.
 
As far as I am aware you can't mix and match between monthly payment and full payment (in one year),  which is what you seem to be asking.   You CAN pay monthly for this year and then pay in full up front next year.

It's the last new version.  From now on everything will be updates   (unless they lump all the updates together and call it a new version)
You should do a fresh install and let it take the settings from your X3e install.

That may be the case, but I doubt seriously if people will stop calling it that. It's just human nature! : )

Hi all,
Here's a fairly naiive question on installing Platinum upgrade from X3(e):
If I install, does it completely replace the X3 set-up, or is the X3 set up still available. I'm basically worried about any current work being upset by virtual instruments not being in expected places, or previous instruments being no longer available.
Also - Since I arrived at X3 via two upgrades (I installed X1, upgraded to X2 then upgraded to X3), I'm hoping the Platinum upgrade is Ok over this?
(I also assume that if I ever have to replace the hard disk, I'll have to go through the same Install/upgrades all over again and have to re-register at every stage).
 
Thanks to anyone who can answer
Jerry

Like all other Sonar installation, they are seperate from each other and completely independent of each other. Be careful though uninstalling earlier versions once you've installed this version. There is some file sharing going on and it's easy to lose some previous functionality.

You only need to install Sonar, Craig's fx chains. Install the help and tutorial material if you want them.

Many thanks Mudgel, that explains it well and I'll leave all the existing stuff when I install Platinum.
 
All the best
Jerry
