so...they want $49 to be able to use a plug in we already own, but in a different DAW?  Is that how I'm reading this?

We own a version locked to Sonar. For $49 you can upgrade to the full product which is not locked to Sonar.

So who exactly do we reply to get this deal?

I wrote to Nomad Factory and they replied with their form letter (see post above). I also asked if the coupon could be applied to the Integral Bundle, but the reply was no.

I sent it to General Inquiries

I realize that.  For them to write the code costs us $49.  My "locked" version is the full version, if I'm not mistaken.
Too bad they can't replicate what Overloud might apparently be doing.  In this world of competitive software, a gesture I think along the line of Overloud's will ultimately go a lot farther than asking for more $$ just to unlock a code.  This isn't in the same ballpark as buying a new DAW.  It's using products you already have, but transferring to another DAW.  Almost all software nowadays allows for that....even switching computers.

I too wish they (all developers) wouldn't lock stuff to an app or bloat of relatively useless LE versions. What can you do?
 
Just to plays devil's advocate, they slip through by not selling us the product but a license to use it. Our current license is for use only in CW. sigh

To be fair to Nomad,  and others,  we have always known the restrictions and most of us have not taken the opportunity to upgrade to the full versions. Most have always offered a reasonably priced upgrade options to a more fully featured unlocked version. 
 
Where Nomad differs is that it is full function and locked. My guess is that Cakewalk made the deal because they needed a good set of VSTs to complete the package. I think that the deal with Nomad benefited Cakewalk more than Nomad. 
 
I think that Overloud have been amazing and I hope that they are rewarded with some sales for their support of Sonar customers.
 
One lesson from Cakewalk's demise is the developers need to sell products to make money. 

Support the developers! 
 
We got the locked versions of the plugins bundled as part of the Sonar deal.  A lot of value provided as long as Sonar was around!  If you like them and use them, and want them to stick around, show your support by upgrading.  They really don't owe us anything. 
 
I am in awe of the response from Overloud, however.  They are more than worthy of our support!!! 

I'm just happy that they're such nice plugins for a really good price - you just cant beat $99 for what you get.

I've seen a few posters want the Lounge Session, Re-Matrix Solo, and the Breverb Solo. Seems these LE versions are far from useless.

Haven't heard about anything yet from AAS regarding unlocking the Cakewalk versions of their plugins, such as Lounge Lizard Session.
 
But Overloud is working overtime to release a VST port of their Cakewalk Pro Channel Re-Matrix plugin.
