Hi,
 
I have been busy with life's distractions, but I'm paying attention now. Questions:
1) I have been a Platinum user since it came out. Am I automatically a recipient of lifetime updates?
2) I am moving home studio to another room and to a different computer. Am I allowed to download Platinum and continue to receive updates on this new computer? Can I also continue to do so on the "old" computer?
 
Thanks,
 
Kawika 

you had to purchase the lifetime updates, you don't get them just from being a platinum owner/user
 
you can install and use sonar on more than 1 computer (2), but you can't (well you are not supposed to) use them at the same time
 
i don't think this is strictly enforced, like there is nothing stopping you from installing on 5 computers and using them all at the same time, but you are not supposed to. it's sort of an 'honor' thing

1) It was not automatic. The lifetime update program was available for purchase in 2016. Check your status here. Lifetime status is shown as Updates and Support valid through ∞.
2) Yes, you may install the software on both machines but you may only run the software on one PC at a time.

Hi kawika . . . sorry, the window of opportunity for lifetime updates is gone, where were you ?, it was offered for almost a year . . . I believe you can install Sonar on many computers, but you are only legally licensed to use one at a time.
 
Edit, apparently scook and grim type faster than me (:

As said no problem with installing Sonar on second machine. What you can do is update everything on the old one and then just copy the Command Center download folder over to the new computer. Saves a tonne of time and bandwidth, You only really need to download once for every update if you do this. 
The folder is found in:
Computer /C / Program Data/ Cakewalk/ Command Center/ Downloads 
 
First install Command Center to the new Computer and log in. 
Run CCC and install just Sonar.
Now copy the CCC download folder content to the same location in the new computer.
Now when you run CCC and choose other parts, like Dim Pro, It will install fast as it is already downloaded and ready to install.
 
You do realise that Sonar expires for updating after a year from when you purchased it. You will have to anti up to get the latest versions if your year is up.   

Thanks guys. How much is it now to get the lifetime updates? 
 
This whole lifetime updates seems like a curious business move. It does not seem as profitable as offering free updates for a version (e.g. X2, Platinum) and then creating another package (with it's free updates); almost unambitious like they see the end.  

It was a limited time offer which expired. It's no longer available nor likely to be again. You want the current version of Sonar you'll need to pay and it will be a 12 months Membership paid upfront or mi they payments. Your choice.
Just login to your Cakewalk account, same as your forum login and go to the Cakewalk store. Click on buy whichever item you qualify for (if there is one) and you'll get your price.

Lifetime updates for Platinum are no longer being sold. They were available from June 2016 through December 2016. Current renewal prices are here.

If it is available, I think it is $199, but I am not 100% sure on that.  The offer was really really good, and if available, I highly encourage you to get it.

OK..Oh well..looks like I missed that boat. Perhaps there will be another cakewalk product beyond Platinum to be released in the near future? Thanks anyways guys.
