Sonar Membership only valid through 12/2037
What if I live longer? I plan to live forever. So far, I have achieved that goal.
Some people call me Maurice SPLAT Pro lifetime, ADK 6 core 3.6Ghz with 32 GB RAM, SSD 1TB system drive, 3 3TB regular drives for samples, recordings and misc. Behringer X Touch, UAD Apollo Quad. 2 UAD2 Quads PCI (i think - inside the box whatever that is), Console 1. More guitars (40??) and synths (hard and soft) than talent. Zendrum!!!

It's a technical glitch on the website. My lifetime membership said that for awhile, and now it's replaced by the infinity symbol. (Assuming it's the Lifetime Membership that you're talking about)

My SONAR world also ends in 2037. I'm pretty old now, so it might be presumptuous to contact tech support about this.

You will receive lifetime updates for this product forever!
Hah! Even forever won't last forever. This has already been discussed in other forums at length. The end of the world is scheduled to occur on, or about, October 5, 2020, so there's nothing to worry about. Sonar will continue to function until, and after, then. End of story! literally

Seems to me I've heard several such dates bandied about over the last 20 years or so, and somehow we're still here. But hey, if you say so...

It was probably one of those instances where the number of seconds since 1970 overflows the type of variable that was used to store it, I think it's 32-bits. There's even a somewhat tongue-in-cheek website 2038.org that talks about it.

Yup basically. So behind the scenes - "lifetime" is actually 100 years. When a lifetime order came through we stamped it for 100 years. The problem was that SONAR (at the time we rolled out lifetime updates, it has since been fixed) was using unix time (or elapsed seconds since 1/1/1970) stored as a 32-bit integer. So when auth passed SONAR a date for the year 2116 it was displaying as 1980-something since it overflowed. To fix this we were only reporting out to 2037. SONAR supports any date now but we haven't gotten around to changing the reporting - in the next few months once the share of users is well past those older versions we'll probably take off the safety valve. If you believe that you'll live beyond 2116, drop us a note around 2114 or so and we'll bump your date out.
