Awesome news.
I'm glad they are doing it this way as the message should reach each and every Cakewalk customer. The only ones it won't reach are people who changed their email and didn't bother to update their Account info. I would imagine those few people are just the ones who bought a product but no longer use it so don't care.
Interesting I also got an Email to a different account ( johnnyV ) which was not my registered account but I did use it to pick up an extra FREE copy of Home Studio.
So let see what the Easter Bunny brings !
