No.
The current Sonar range is to be it. There is no beyond Platinum version. Sonar Artist, Professional and Platinum versions are updated monthly.

The product, Sonar Platinum to which the Life time update applies, is promised to not be superseded by another product. Giving a guarantee that Life time updates are just as stated. Life time.

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. 

Maybe not, check out this:http://forum.cakewalk.com/Sonar-Upgradessupportetc-m3612151.aspx in particular posts #27 and #30.

Yes, still working on setting up the campaign. We switched our ecommerce provider - yesterday - in fact, and we're back to defining the parameters of this campaign to reach out to people who missed the boat on LTU as well as our campaign before switching to our new pricing policy.

 
So I would be waiting/looking for something very soon.

Oh.... it looks like I'm not alone and there is chatter re: a another offer. Good. Fingers crossed.
 
It looks like I'm a year behind. It's $250.00 per year!    Yea...no thanks.

i have never read anything like that (i may well have missed something) but all i have ever read was that the lifetime updates apply to platinum while platinum remains platinum, but when a change is made to another version, all bets are off. i have never seen it stated or implied that platinum was to be 'infinite', only ever got the implication that it was 'finite'.

It happened and it was discussed in length

What happens if the product name SONAR Platinum were to change to something like SONAR Mercury, would lifetime updates still apply? 
If you purchased lifetime updates for SONAR Platinum, you will get lifetime updates for SONAR Platinum. If we change the name of SONAR Platinum, you will get lifetime updates to the newly named version. It's as simple as that.

hmmm, doesn't do much for me, the official thing is what i am after, i can find links to people discussing the moon being made of cheese, doesn't mean it's true. thanks anyway
 
[edit] i see you edited while i was typing, or i just didn't see the second link, looking now, thanks

yeah i have read all that stuff before, still don't see it, many things are in the wording, like there would be a big difference between just 'changing the name of sonar' and sonars 'line' coming to and end, and a new product taking over. if they said that regardless, people who purchased sonar platinum lifetime updates will receive any future cakewalk flagship daw product free of charge and continuing updates for said products in perpetuity, well that would be different, but they aren't actually saying that. time will tell
 
and if memory serves me correct, i think mr anderton has even alluded to the fact that lifetime updates will come to an end at some point.

Everything ends.  Either ones life or the product.
 
The concept and the intent is pretty clear to me.  Sonar has been the name of their flagship DAW for nearly 20 years.  If they stay in business, I think the lifers shouldn't have too much to worry about.  
 
If they come up with a non-DAW flagship type of product, no, I wouldn't expect that to be include.  They are in the Windows based DAW business and if they keep developing something along those lines, it will be free to us Lifers
