OK, one aspect of my problem solved.  Even though logged in via the new 'single login' procedure, if you use the 'search' box for a product, you seem to have to go to the 'change region' link at the top of the page, otherwise the shop seems to default to US$ and you can't get past if you're non-US.  Listed products pages seem to know your identity and list the products on the way to the checkout in your local currency.  The old shop used to automatically show you a page asking for your currency preference.  The new one seems to save you the bother and link this through your login.  Unless you do a search for a product, in which case you're stuffed unless you have previously 'changed region'.  A minor coding glitch I would guess.  So now I've paid (again!) for an mp3 codec.  Which works.  Hooray!  A little wrinkle for us international users, maybe, but Sonar is still my favourite DAW and its forum community THE best. 

Well according to the thread title, it's coming "tomorrow" so I assume it's beta until the title says it's here "today" 

Well it's approx 20 light minutes from Mars to Earth. Maybe they are further away?

I gave up trying to buy anything. It was more of an impulse buy because of the sale. Gibson/Cakewalk's loss not mine. 

The only problem is my forum e-mail is different than my store e-mail. No products associated with forum e-mail. Old account not accessible.

Fixed it. Changed the e-mail on the forum login to the one from the store. All is good!

What a nice surprise. I miss being able to sort products in the Cakewalk Store though. Please bring it back. 

 
Looks like tomorrow has arrived.  For me anyway.
 

All my products are missing in my account except 8.5. I need to re-download X3 and associated plugs I purchased.
How do I get them back?

As I have been trying to install my Cake stuff, on a brand new PC, I've run into several issues.
1. I bought the VKFX suite and have the official emails confirming that, but it is not in my "new" account, so how do I get that again?
2. I bought Rapture and though it is in my account, the serial is different and I don't have the right Reg. code. When I tried to register the other serial number (I have no idea how I have 2), it says that one is registered to someone else.
3. I don't see how to upgrade (again) my Melodyne to Editor2, which I bought when I upgraded to X3PE.
 
That'll do for now! LOL
