Dim Pro has only had about. 3 updates and none of them in the last five years. I can't see it being updated but if by chance it should be I'm sure you'll hear about it. I didn't know about the Platinum update because of C3 I got an email.

So I guess that begs the question. If an update, for say Dimension Pro, occurs within the next 12 months, that would be a free update according to your membership agreement. Would you get that update?



This is exactly what I'm concerned about. It appears that Command Center is where all future updates occur, not only to Sonar, but to all of the content that comes with it as well. If we don't download all of the included products through Command Center, will they still be eligible (and able) to get updated? Can anyone at Cake chime in on this? :)


BUMP!!!
 
I'm also in the same boat....even if Dim Pro hasn't got an update in xx amount years, what about Melodyne, Sound Center and all the others that were included in X3.......how will they be updated if it's not installed via the Command Ctr.??

Your updates come from the Command Center. You dont need to install them. When an update comes in, the led will turn yellow even if it is red at first.

I was in the CC when the upgrade came in from Craig. But if you start the CC and watch the lower bar You will see every time you start ,it checks for updates and you can also see which parts its checking for.

Well, I finished downloading and installing Platinum last night. I ended up just reinstalling everything. I'm just assuming not doing so would cause some sort of issue down the road. Probably not, but I just wanted to play it safe. I started up Platinum once and loaded my most recent project that I was working on in X3, but my iLok licensing software required an update and the Slate plugins in the project wouldn't load. This caused Platinum to not load the project at all; it just stayed on the boot screen and kept showing an error in the bottom-right corner that the Slate plugins couldn't load. Not Sonar's fault, but it required me to Ctrl+Alt+Del to close Sonar. I updated the iLok and was required to restart my computer. I just shut it down and went to bed. Haha! It was late and I had to get up early for work in the morning. I'll play around with Platinum today after work :)
