Here's a reminder that the Nomad Plugins are licensed only for Cakewalk X3 and later versions.  So don't expect to use them in other DAW software or even earlier versions of SONAR like X2.
 
I didn't catch that until now.  I'll learn to look for the details a little better next time.

Given that I already own the entire suite of Nomad plugs (and did not install CWs version) I'm golden.

I wonder if the Pro Channel tape sim is licensed only to X3, I haven't tried loading it into X2 yet?

@Bapu -- Who's surprised. ;-)

Well that's a bit disappointing.  I've been sitting out upgrades since 8.5 -- X3 (X1 and 2 had all too many reported issues) caught my attention and I am considering - but this will certainly factor in.
 
Thanks Dave for the heads up!

Nope.  It's licensed for X3 and above as well.

This is starting to feel like a weekend with a loose woman.  Lots of regrets afterward.

Well now that I have X3 why would I want to use X2 ??
 
As for the Nomad bundle, I'm curious how much did that costs by buying it separately from X3 ??
 
I have no regrets.

you've had nothing but negative posts this weekend hu  dave ?
I mean sure, everyone is entitled to their opinions but your just looking for the negative.
 
like yesterday when Panu started a thread about a crash in x3.
what did you say ?  o ya,  "we have a winner folks"
 
like you had been waiting around all day for a crash to happen so you could pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate a cakewalk failure. 
 
you used to be helpful around here, specially to Toontrack users.
now you sound more resentful more then anything else.

Surely it was obvious, even to a casual observer, that we could not expect all those Nomad plugs, plus Melodyne, and Addictive Drums etc. for the price of an upgrade?
 
Even buying Sonar Producer for the first time would cost less than buying all that, with the DAW thrown in for free.
 
As soon s I read the leaked info about X3 it was obvious that they had to be locked into Sonar, otherwise how could Cake, or their partner do it?
 
I almost exclusively use Sonar, although I have a couple of other DAWS, so am very happy with the deal.

I was told that Melodyne is not locked to X3. How about Addictive Drums? Is it locked too?
