As far as I've understood Sonar does not allow transfering the registration onto another person. If I buy it used, will I be able to use Sonar 6 Producer without registering it as long as I have the keys and original software?
Thanks!

According to the EALU no...

according to your conscience ... well...

...Oh, ok, thank you. Does anybody know where you can buy old versions of Sonar that are new and that you can register?

this question may be a little to complicated for anyone to answer...but i will try...i believe its against policy rules to byu a used version of sonar or cakewalk and try to regester it..your just asking for trouble...ie buy it and they dont send the regestration)your better off just buying one new..for the price your going to pay for some secondhand version you may have complications regestering,you can get a new copy..depending on how indeph you wanna get.i think 8.5 producer is 150.00 with specials and such..do yourself a favor..get a new one..dont get busted or banned for trying to jerry rig a used copy or pirate job..do the right thing.
(please be advised as i cant promice everything i said is true,just what i believe to betrue)

my bad...i think the upgrade is 150

Thanks, I appreciate your response and it gave a little more clarity over the situation! I'll go ahead and buy a new one!

Chuckebaby, in post #3  the OP is not talking about second hand versions, but new/unused copies of older versions, ones that can be registered, as he clearly states.

Sometimes you can find those old versions in netshops, but you can also get cheated if you buy from other than a known, reliable company.

Buying a new one is the recommendable way, though.
However, if the budget is limited, one doesn't have to buy Producer. X1 Essential or Music Creator might do for starters. They are powerful tools, both.

Thank you for your posts. I did find an older version in a netshop (totally legal!) and am very excited about getting started! Now I just have to learn it... haha

kalle...if you read the first post...youd see where he was going with this...did you read the first post???...i believe someone gave him an answer he didnt like so he asked it in a different way...i was replying to his first post...but thanks anyway

You're most likely right Chuckebaby. The guy only wanted to check what are the chances of getting "caught" somehow..
