I don't look at that 20% as "fees".... I see it as a "discount" for paying all at once. lol

Thanks Karyn!

I must admit I agree, but the official price is the one-off price.

Hi-
 
SONAR will be going on sale later this month and wanted to just share some tips to make sure your upgrade experience is awesome.
 
1) If you haven't signed up for an Single Sign On Account (SSO), please do so before you buy. You can go to:
 
https://www.cakewalk.com/my-account
 
You will be asked to create an account if you haven't done that yet. Please use the same email that was used to purchase your product at the Cakewalk Store or that was used to register your product. Once you have created an account, you should see all your purchases listed under the "Products" tab.
 
2) The first time you visit the Cakewalk Store (shop.cakewalk.com), you will see the price listed as MSRP. That means it's the full price. Don't be scared. Click "Buy Now" and you will be asked to login. Once you do this, you will automatically see your upgrade price reflected in the cart. This is one of the cool new features of the store. No more searching for the right upgrade path, we give it you automatically. And once you are logged in, you'll always see the lowest price for all products (like an upgrade to Z3TA+ 2 for SONAR Platinum customers). You can see if you are logged in at the top right of your browser window on the Store (right below the search button and language selector).
 
3) Once you complete the purchase of SONAR, you will see a link to download Command Center (https://www.cakewalk.com/Command-Center). Once you download Command Center, you will be asked to login. After you login, you'll magically see all your products in your account. You can start installing your products. Download times are quick and no need to enter serial numbers. This is also another cool feature that will make the process painless for customers. 
 
I'll leave this thread open for any questions or concerns. 
 
Thanks!

Your existing products will not show up in C3. Using C3 starts with SONAR Artist/Professional/Platinum.

As Scook said. We built Cakewalk Command Center for products moving forward. We've been referring to them as "Connected Products" (more so just because I haven't come up with a better name myself yet ;) )

• Before purchasing Sonar Platinum, I already owned Rapture, Dimension Pro and Melodyne.
• As I already owned these products, I chose not to install them again using Cakewalk Command Center
• Loading an existing project, shows that Sonar Platinum has detected these already installed products and they play as expected (at least at a quick listen all seems fine).

• Although Sonar Platinum has found and is able to use the previously installed products (Rapture, Dim Pro, Melodyne), Cakewalk Command Center still shows them as uninstalled (red bullet to the left of them in CCC).

That said, this is the initial release of Command Center.
