Producer upgrade costs?

I have a question for all you Sonar Producer users out there...

What is the average upgrade cost of Sonar Producer?

I am debating on upgrading to Sonar X1 Pro from studio,
and am trying to figure what the long term upgrade cost is.






Thanks,
Anthony

    $99. 

    I remember $79 and $89, but that seems long ago.

    I don't think that's right, Aldwyn.

    anthony - if I am reading you correctly, you want to upgrade from X1 studio to X1 producer?

    according to this it's $199

    if you're wanting to upgrade from S8.5 PRODUCER to X1 PRODUCER, it's only $99.

    I am sure there are many on this forum who have owned Producer for a good
    number of years.

    I have! 

    It's usually $99 to go from one Producer version to the next Producer version.  The Cakewalk store is down as far as checking pervious orders, but from what I can see, it's been $99 since 2004 (not bad considering there has been no increase since 2004!). 

    So...
    7 Prod to 8 prod = $99
    8 Prod to 8.5 Prod = $99
    8.5 Prod to X1 Prod = $99

    I've owned the Sonar4 Producer, then 7, 8, 8.5, and now X1. So, my upgrade path solely depended on my wants/needs. Some users are still on the older versions while many have upgraded regularly. Generally, the upgrade path for users with the latest version has been $99 (I think every year there's been a new version).

    It's going to be difficult for you to get an average as everyone hasn't gone for the latest version and upgrading depends on you personal needs.

    Average upgrade cost?  upgrade from what?  how many years do you want averaged?  I'm afraid your question is a little vague.
     
    I bought SHS4 originally, then Sonar 4 for upgrade for I think it was $250, then Sonar 6 for $179 then Sonar 8 for $179 then Sonar 8.5 for $79 then X1 should have been $99 (but I got that for free!)

    As I recall, I upgraded from 6PE to 7PE in 2008 for £89 (UK Pounds).  This was a discounted offer.  The usual price was £119 (equivalent to more than $200) or even £179 at one stage.

    and you rightfully deserved that free upgrade..i think with all the help that was needed it was to cakes benifit to have you using x1 to answer questions as they know all you do for this forum.with the amount of help you have given others.
