I believe Andrew clarified that earlier (colorfully) one license to rule them all = buy one get other automatically. This is (in my experience) normal of music related software.

Andrew,
 
Can you explain why your own web site links to JRR's X3 Producer to Platinum upgrade?
 
http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Buy-Now/SONAR-Platinum/
 
It clearly states that it is lifetime upgrade eligible!

We are updating that page now as they are getting updated by dealers. All all other dealers have product discontinued. Again, we are talking about the same thing. The page even talks about Membership and is clearly the old SKU. I've told you that much. That's all I can do. 

I get you, nothing personal here...it's just business...and I maintain that it's not ok to advertise something, then rudely refuse to honor it and blame a loyal dealer for the mishap, especially when your own company is mostly (if not completely) at fault for the confusion and the misunderstanding.
 
By the way, check GuitarCenter and SweetWater's pages below, they also both say "membership" in the description

You guys need some serious help with Channel Management.

Don't know if already answered:
I'm on X3 prof. When I buy lifetime NOW, does this apply to the Mac version, too, or is this a completely different license then?

Both but keep in mind we are in Alpha state. And the Alpha will be free to Mac customers for testing and feedback.

I know it's early days Andrew, but..
 
I'll quite happily admit you've surprised me, I didn't expect Sonar to ever be released in an OS X version, and I'm extremely pleased you've decided to go down that road.
 
A couple of questions though.
 
Is the plan for an OS X Sonar to be able to use AU plugins?
 
Secondly, pricing. I didn't pay membership for 2016 because the only PC we have is the DAW and it's been acting up badly. I also needed to learn Logic for a project and we already have Macs so I've mostly been using Logic over the last few months. At the moment I can purchase a discounted lifetime membership, until the end of August, yes? If I hold off until the OS X version is on the market might a reduced price deal for previous Sonar members/customers still be available?
 

OK My Professional to Platinum Lifetime upgrade pricing issue has been fixed, hopefully globally for everyone else too.
 
Thanks CW!

Hi.
1.) I believe "SONAR4Life" applies to those who run Sonar on a PC, on Windows. Right?
2.) I own Sonar professional. According to the big announcement, my upgrade should be at USD 299.00
Checking in the shop (Where I find my purchases listed) I find the very same upgrade is available at EUR 342.00
How come with a daily exchange rate of 1 EUR = 1.1174 USD?
Or is the price in the big announcement given without VAT?
Please clarify.
Thankx.

I've looked through this thread to try and answer my question, but I can't find it. When the Mac version goes for general release will my pre-existing subscription already give me access to that? Sonar is the last application keeping me on Windows for my DAW and I wanted to see if I could "hop" over without having to re-buy Sonar. Especially if I took the lifetime option...
 
Also - I can't remember (this might be a little OT), but does the license allow me to have it installed on 2 machines?

I've been paying Cake for over 16 yrs. I never once felt I had wasted my money and I've upgraded with every offer.
 
My Platinum membership was renewed last Jan. ( I've really enjoyed the membership program) and I thought the fee for the lifetime offer was $199.00 for me.
 
There was no question about if it was worth it so I jumped...I was surprised... the fee was $99.00. I made the transaction, closed Sonar, ran Command Center and the update was there! Fast.
 
I've been impressed by the folks at Cakewalk. They've been working hard with their skills and listening to users for years and IMO their efforts have resulted in an amazing program that just keeps getting better.
 
My hats off and thanks to all the Bakers.  It's been a fun trip and looking forward to seeing where you take it from here.

Hi all
If my credit card is already being debited monthly for Platinum rolling updates, and I choose to buy the Lifetime option, will Cakewalk automatically cease the original monthly debit?? 
 
Thank you
Bob  :-)

I do have to admit, seeing that lil' infinity symbol put a smile on my face. :)

Yes you can install it on even more than 2 machines as long as you are only using 1 at a time, and they are being used by you.
