Options for acquiring the final released version of Sonar Platinum?

Hi there.
 
Long time user, as shocked and bummed at the closure as anybody.
 
Given the forum atmosphere at the moment, this is perhaps a strange question, but... is there any way to purchase the final update of Sonar Platinum?
 
I own Platinum, but my rolling updates expired about a year ago. In the interim, there have been loads of updates... some of which solved long-standing workflow issues I've had. I had planned to purchase another year of updates for $250 within the next couple of months.
 
Because of the CW store closure, it would appear the only valid way to obtain the final update is to purchase the full version from a third party vendor.... which isn't an acceptable option.
 
Its my understanding that the software license is non-transferable, thus I assume that the rolling-updates subscriptions are non-transferable as well.
 
So... is there an option?
 
Please refrain from answers such as "You should try DAW xyz". I'm very aware of the greater DAW ecosystem, own multiple others, and will be forming a long-term transition plan on my own.
 
Cheers,

I'm hoping that Cakewalk will do something in this area either allowing all registered users to upgrade to the final version free of charge or for a nominal fee. I would also love to see a final patch update fixing any bugs that were already being worked on. 
 
This would be good for Cakewalk/Gibson and they simplify the process of closing everything down. 
 
It is good for us users as it makes Sonar support for third parties easier which will encourage them to continue. 
 
I'm pretty sure that these are the issues that they will be looking at during the "transition" period. I anticipate a further period of silence, which may be annoying but realistically they don't have much of an option, then we should hear what they have planned.
 
What this means in practice is that we need to be patient and see what they come u with hoping that it will be good, or at least as good as it can be, for all of us.

I´m in the same situation as the thread starter and I guess we´re not the only ones.
 
Edit: BTW, which version is the latest release?

Are you saying that the last update for subscription users already paid, is not available to download from "control" any more?

Edit: BTW, which version is the latest release?

The latest version of Sonar Platinum is 2017.10 23.10.0 Build 14

I have a copy of Sonar Pro in the box that hasn't been registered so can I register it and download the latest version?
Can you download the whole thing to disk or can you only download using the Cakewalk utility?

This really sucks, I've used Sonar for years. My motherboard died a couple of weeks ago and I've literally just finished building a brand new PC tonight. The last version I bought was X1 and I came here a few minutes ago ready to dig my wallet out and upgrade...

I haven't really followed Sonar's progress for a few years as X1 was working fine for me so I'm not sure how it works with subscriptions. I guess I definitely can't buy Platinum from the CW store but if I bought a retail boxed copy would I still get full functionality? I can live without future updates as long as it's stable. 

I would give it a few days. There so far has only been one post in the announcements forum that has sparked all this chaos. Who knows, maybe Noel was drunk when he posted that or we are all having a bad dream and will wake up soon. I am sure we will hear more details soon and things will calm down a bit. Most users haven't heard this news yet so I would expect there will be a formal announcement at some time and maybe a goodwill offering from Gibson. No, forget that last part. There more than likely will be a way to upgrade and it will probably be for a bargain price. I'm sure Gibson won't say no to the opportunity to take more of your money. The store is closed but I am sure they could process payments manually. Ironically they may not be able to cope with the demand.
 

Are the installation files personal or generic?

its up for sale now again... ?
