I just got this reply - not quite what I was hoping for:
Hi Ludwig,
Thanks for contacting us and detailing your concern for Cakewalk and Blue Tubes plug-ins provided with purchase and integrated into the DAW.
Our team have been made aware of the closure of the Sonar brand and the many requests around the web and through forums of those wishing to upgrade to the full versions, for use in other DAW, should they wish to switch...
Currently our Nomad Factory products are available through end of year at up-to 80% off, so now is your best time to get low prices on stock before the turn of 2018. See our dealers list here.
But that said, you may of course still utilize your plug-ins in the DAW as is, they will still work as your DAW too, for many years to come!
If you would like to upgrade, we are happy to offer a path to the Blue Tubes v3 Bundle at further discount (only $49, instead of current $79 and list "$399") on view of your Sonar purchase receipt, which you may attach in reply here. We will then provide a one time, one use coupon for discount purchase via our dealer DontCrack.com.
The Nomad Factory team.
Best regards,
Ashley Smith

I got the same message from Motu Digital performer.
They sent me a link to a generic cross grade offer.
There are literally 1000's of Cakewalk Sonar users looking to invest in new products and these guys
don't want to give an inch "Here is are on sale offer" (You know the same price we give every one else).
That makes me want to invest in them even less.
Think I will put my money in to Overloud's plug ins. They seem to be one of the more reputable company's.
