Hello Andrew/Cakewalk,
 
How can I upgrade from X3 Producer? I've been trying to with my new account and I get the full price with about £30 knocked off not the Intro price for the upgrade.
Also Command Center won't let me login using the details of my new account and I can't find my Serial Number for X3 Producer within my new account. Can you help me with this problem
 
Thank you
 
Liam

Sounds like your account might not be linked to the email you used to purchase SONAR X3 Producer. Did you try changing your email at www.cakewalk.com/my-account? That might fix it. Otherwise give us a call Monday and we'll get it straightened out.

Also, regarding the trial version, I believe it will just be Artist.

Too bad only Artist to have a trial version.
Say it ain't so.
I need to test Platinum to help me decide.
 
And before the $149 intro offer expires.
JRR last time I looked stopped the additional discount.
 
 

I do believe it will be Platinum.

I tried it again with group
Coupon code "group" is not valid.
last week it was around $129?
I still will like a test ride on the Platinum before pulling the trigger.

You are correct, the coupon code (and discount in general) at JRRShop is no longer valid.  Last week they had a 15% off introductory offer ($126.65)...then if you entered the coupon code "group" it would discount an additional 1% ($1.49).  All discounts have since been deleted.

He who hesitates does not get the discount at JRR.
I want to be sure that Sonar 2015 is for me
so the trail Platinum is very importnet.

What stands out to me in all this marketing hype is, as soon as you stop subscribing, you only own the prior version and the latest beta test version. This is not the same as the marketers' claim that a year subscription buys both versions X4 and X5. In truth, the X5 version will not come with bug fixes unless you continue to subscribe. Nobody is getting anything free here.
 
Behind the scenes, the marketing folks understand, once you buy into the subscription, you will be locked in for life. You will always need future bug fixes for your latest beta test version. In order to stop subscribing, you would first have to identify the most stable point to rollback to. Cakewalk's goal to create a perfect piece of software at any one point in time will be shelved in favor of the hotdog on a stick approach. Hey, just pay for one more month, and you might get to a stable point that allows you to stop subscribing. Oh, you didn't get there yet, well just pay for one more month, ad nauseam.
 
New feature releases will follow the same hotdog on a stick approach.
 
That said, if I didn't already own full versions of TH2, etc., I would upgrade immediately. As is, I'm going to hold off and continue to use my stable version of X3 for awhile. Since I only upgraded a couple of months ago there's plenty here to keep me busy.

So, you think you should be able to not pay the full amount of the upgrade and get all the benefits those of us who do pay in full will receive?
 
Is that how it works with the loan on your car?  The mortgage on your house?
 
You get to stop paying and then own the car? The house?
 
If you do not like the convenience of paying 20 per month, pay in full in advance and you will not have to post examples of how you do not think before you write.
 
Why should anyone be getting anything free here?
