Membership purchased through JRRshop

Just curious, I ordered a Platinum membership from JRRshop. I called them to see when I should be able to get my license code and they said they are waiting on Cakewalk for provide new serial numbers. Does this make sense to others. I would think somehow there would be some sort of electronic automated transfer between Cakewalk and their re-sellers.  I've had good experience with JRRshop, but if it is going to be a hassle for the little saving perhaps I should have ordered from Cakewalk direct?

Thanks, so confused, what are people using in their reviews within this forum. I see people talking about their experience with Platinum?

They got an "invitation only" early version. Cakewalk randomly selected a bunch of X3 users for an early upgrade. Seems like a bunch of folks jumped on it.
 
Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea to wait for the first patch or two, unless you absolutely must have the newest thing. I've already seen reports of a few bugs/instabilities (it's kind of a given with any brand spanking new version). Your new "membership" will start when you register, not when you bought it. So you're not losing anything and arguably gaining some.

Yes, it seems the best strategy is to buy from a 3rd party and wait for the major bugs to be ironed out, then register.  That way you get the best price, the show-stoppers fixed and then 12 months after that.  If you're able to wait a bit, that is.
 
 

Does anyone remember the code from JRR? It seems to be 149 there now. I thought I'd try to use the code if anyone remembers it. Maybe it is for sale cheaper somewhere else, I'm looking. I was away for a few days. I guess I should have bought it last week, but I didn't. I don't want to mess around and end up paying 199 instead of 149... but.
 
Thanks,

Pre-orders on Sweetwater and JRR Shop should be made available today as well.

Just ordered on Sweetwater for $149 and paid via PayPal.

Just got this from Sweetwater -

I'm pretty sure that my purchase of new guitars, drums and basses on his paypal account was NOT the problem. 

Possibly, I paypaled too but I've had no email saying there's a problem with the transaction.

Yep.  That's what I plan on doing.  Especially since I won't have free time for awhile and want to clean up my system before I install etc.

I'm just wondering. I think there was a statement here that your 12 months starts at the time you pay for the software whether if it was here at Cakewalk or at a retailer. It is not when you choose to install it. Of course, the 12 month timer should not start unless the software is available to install.

No, when purchased from a retailer you get a redeem code. Your 12 months start at the redemption, not purchase.
 
If you buy in CW Store your purchase is redeemed immediately.

So when?  Yes I'm an impatient patient.

Andrew Rossa [Cakewalk]
When you purchase from us that is correct since we deliver files immediately. When you purchase from retailers, it starts when you redeem the product. You'll get a redemption code and then instructions on how to install. So you won't be penalized for pre-ordering.

Andrew, please edit that post.  It implies conceptually, and conceivably that some might be penalized at all.
 
Yeah, this isn't a subscription.

I took Andrew's statement to mean an order from retailers will not lose time (penalized) off your 12 moths as you wait for your redemption code.

Exactly Bapu, but are we really supposed to be worried about losing time now?
