this might be premature feedback, but I just followed the SSO link for the first time and reviewed My Products and it is a mess. 
 
in short THIS is not better than THIS
 
 
that overhaul is suffering from the same gui bloat we have seen in Sonars X series in limiting the max number of tracks viewable in track view. Bigger is not better. Smarter is. Plus everything is all out of order, with product download links and serial and reg numbers on different rows, separated by other products, and just way too big


Oh wait..... I get it. You don't like the new layout of your products.

the list is over 4 times the length of the old one. and as I mentioned all in no particular order at all (edit: i think is trying to sort by date, but failing quite a bit). The store list is a nice condensed table with each products dl link and codes on the same row - and nicely sorted by date, and viewable without scrolling.

Getting ready for all those SONAR X4 orders? That would be most excellent.


This was my first thought as well ;)

I would refrain from any My-Account/Products feedback until we publish our changes tomorrow. How it delivers products is very different and also still being tweaked.

Definitely makes sense to test a new web store in advance of a new product launch. Can you imagine otherwise? Ugh.
 
Go Cake!

BTW, I feel the need to mention that the page we're publishing tomorrow is about 547.3% smarter. As for the bigger... in due time you'll understand the why.
 
edit: typos :(

Totally tiny thing, but I've sometimes thought it would be cool to not have to determine which things I already own when I shop. Maybe just a mark next to the things I've already got or something. :-)

Fixed ;)
 
Edit: 
Oh, I should probably clarify b/c we might be discussing different things. When logged in on the new store we handle upgrade pricing based on your product ownership now (versus customers having to say which upgrade path they believe they fall into).

Is there any way the password requirements for the Store can be slightly more flexible? Current requirements are quite limiting. For example, you can't start a password with a number.


Just to clarify, the new store will use your Cakewalk SSO Account which is also being used by the Cakewalk Forum and www.cakewalk.com. So the password management will be the same as you've been using to get into the forum lately. Looks like you can lead with a number if you wish.
