I stopped using Sonar for about 8 years, however during that time I always paid for upgrades and new software, even though I never took it out of the plastic.

I am not really interested in selling, never really sold anything but I have Sonar in a plastic as arrived and not using it, can I give this to someone? Okay maybe I cannot sell it but can I give it to my fellow struggling musician?


I am currently using Platinum.

Thanks

Hi. If purchased as a part of, or as an upgrade, it is not resealable.
If purchased as a new product, and never registered, you might be able to sell it.
Others will know better.
All the best.

Assuming as Zargg wrote, you purchased a retail copy of a Cakewalk DAW one time then purchased upgrades through Platinum, you only have one license. If you were to transfer any version, whether registered or not, you would have to transfer your license as well. IOW, after the transfer you would no longer have a license for any of the products from the original purchase through Platinum.
 
If all the purchases were full retail purchases and not upgrades and never registered, you may dispose of them as you wish.

Thanks, I think one was new because Cakewalk mailed me the Physical Installation Disc in the mail. Which is why I asked. I am cleaning and realized I never opened the packaged. I have friends who are recording and I was thinking I could simply give it to someone else. I think it is 8.5 or X1 not sure but it was never opened.

All upgrades prior to SONAR 8 shipped on disks and most were visually similar to the retail versions. SONAR 8.5 was available on disk and download (although the download still required the SONAR 8 disks). The X1 upgrade was available on disk and download (first full download version). Giving the 8.5 or X1 upgrade disks to another will require you to give them your license too. The same license which permits you to use Platinum. Two users may not share the same license.

Thanks for the explanation:
Looks like I have found a cool Sonar Beer Coaster!
