Maybe I am stupid (that probably most likely) or not, but I try to find some information about the monthly payment method. I assume I can use PayPal for that? It's the only payment method I have, apart from the European based iDeal method (I live in the Netherlands). And secondly - do you have to do the payments manually, or will this go automatically?
 
I seached the website, but did not find any clear answer to this questions. I can contact Cakewalk directly of corse, but I rather try to find the answer here first. So - anyone can tell me more?
 
I really looking forward to update my "rusty" X1 Producer Expanded to this latest version...

You can use PayPal to make the initial and all subsequent payments. At the time each payment is due, Cleverbridge will send you an email that contains a link.  Click on that link and follow the instructions to make that months payment.  This is how it works for me.  In my case, for my Sonar Platinum membership, I get the email (from Cleverbridge) on the 17th of the month. Cakewalk Sonar Help about "Valid through"date increases by one month on the 23rd of the month.

Others that use Paypal may have set up an automatic payment, but I actually prefer the manual method so I know that it has been processed.

Ok promidi - thanks a lot.
 
I did not even know Cleverbridge was involved. No information on payment methods is presented on the main products page. Glad to know how it will work..
 
And just in time. An friend offered me an (monthly) subscription on "something musical" for my birthday (22 of april - I wll become 60 then), and I am sure that unnamed person was expecting an (more or less expensive) musical magazine with disc or concert pass.. But now this will become an whole different kind of subscription (yes, I will pay the price difference myself)...

The Cakewalk store uses Cleverbridge as the backend so it's transparent to the user.
When you get an email either as reminder to make your monthly payment or an acknowledgement of a payment made there is a link that takes you to the Cleverbridge site that allows you to check your orders and payments etc. or to cancel your current membership.

Do I need the SSO if I purchased through Steam?

You have an SSO already. It is used to gain access to this forum. I would imagine there are Cakewalk customers using Steam which have not bothered to create an account on the Cakewalk site.

Thanks.  That makes sense!

I am from the Netherlands too. I can verify that paying using iDeal is an option with Cleverbridge.

I am NOT connecting my Main Studio Computer that I use for recording to the Internet NEVER EVER!!!!!! now that said, How can I purchase Sonar Platinum and get upgrades when they are ready. I have a Win 8.1 64bit laptop for Internet purposes.
