Sweet, thanks!

Never mind, I guess I already created one...

How soon do you see pre-orders from Sweetwater? Do they come in as they're ordered or are they batched up?
I ordered my copy last night so I was just curious if it's already on your system.

+1 i think having a subscription OPTION is awesome. Say you take your music in for mixing/mastering and the engineer only has pt if they hear something in the mix they can tack on 50 bucks or so and get a copy of sonar to really see whats going on instead of trying to fix it from audio files alone. I think this is a great move to get sonar into the professional repertoire. 50 bucks for sound advice and hands on adjustements vs 500 for maybe just one client using sonar is a real win imho.

I suspect that at release we'll get emails from Sweetwater containing a serial number that will give us access to our download at Cakewalk through the Cakewalk Command Centre (CCC). That would be similar to how I've always recieved downloads from a 3rd party retailer.

For downloads purchased from retailers, expect to receive a redemption code via e-mail. Enter the code here https://www.cakewalk.com/Redeem to get the product added to your account. The product will also show up in C3 (Cakewalk Command Center).

Quick heads up for anyone buying the Pre-sale version:  I got an email, went to buy at upgrade price.  Following the advice at the top of this thread, I hit "OK" despite it saying it was going to charge me the full amount instead of the $149 upgrade price.  Unfortunately, it DID in fact charge the full price and the advice about the price "switching" did not work.  Already talked to someone on phone and it is being sorted out, but you may want to change that bit at the top about the price changing if you proceed.  Did not work.  Kinda freaked me out to see a bill for $525!

Blimey, that's scary.

I've asked this elsewhere, but that thread is so crowded, I may never see a response, so...
 
Can I start the monthly plan now, or do I have to wait for the official release?

When it's officially released.

The Canadian exchange rate is way off. When's that going to be fixed? $149 = $178 CDN but you have nearly $191.
