(SOLVED) I'm Sure This Has Been Answered But...

(This part is new.  In the Cakewalk Store, if you hold the mouse over the the "buy now" box there's an option in a drop down box for "upgrade."  I was clicking on the "buy now" button all the time and there are no options on that page for upgrading- or none I saw.   Yes, the price is 50% off.)
Thanks for all the help from everyone. 

I'm busy and can't go looking.
 
I'm a long-time user.  My membership expired last October.  I think I'd like to upgrade (although everything is fine now) but I'm seeing the price is $499.  It says I'm logged in but...  Is that about right?

Thanks.  I appreciate the response but that didn't work.  I copied and pasted my serial number into the promo code box and it says invalid promo code.  Any other suggestions?

There's a sub forum where they deal with this stuff post there, or they will probably move this anyhow.

 Sorry can't answer question as everything has changed and beingg a lifetime updater took me out of the loop on pricing anyhow, to bad you missed that. It was $199 back in OCt last year. 
 

I've tried the serial number from my existing license of Platinum- a few times- in the promo code box.  It says "invalid promo code." 
 
So I'm suspecting the upgrade price for me is $499.
 
I'm not a happy camper about this.  I've been a Cakewalk client since Version 8- 10 years maybe?  I was a rolling subscriber until last October.  I'm less than a year out and am being charged full price for the updated version of Platinum?   Not good.  I've never considered moving on but may just in protest.
 
I hope I've missed something and if I have will certainly apologize but $499 for an upgrade for CURRENT Platinum user is a ripoff.

This is the forum for Sonar Platinum, right chucky?  I'm a licensed Platinum user.  I'm trying to upgrade.  So I come here to ask the question because I'm not seeing anything in the store but $499 for the upgrade.   I've tried checking out in the store three different times.  Therefore I'm taking for granted that the price to upgrade is $499.  I HOPE I'm wrong!  But if I am someone needs to make this process easier for Jesus sake!...

Post in the Cakewalk store forum. this is for problems directed towards the software itself not purchases.



 

Thanks.  I did that.  We'll see. 

Thanks Brando.  I clicked through the links you supplied, entered my current Platinum serial number in the promo code box but get an "invalid promo code" message.  So I'm stuck where I began.  I have a message to Cakewalk on Facebook and in the Cakewalk Store forum.  Appreciate it.

I would appreciate your posting your answer. I have a similar problem. My Platinum upgrade is a little over 1 year, expired 2 months ago and they said the upgrade was $250 or $25 a month. I also am not happy. I am a user since it was only a midi sequencer and upgraded to every version. That's about 20 years.

Don't know if you noticed or not - his first paragraph in the original post (choose upgrade instead of buy now) resolves the issue.
