Maybe you can get from retailer still. Check every website

no, what the original OP was talking about is not only do we get a unlock file to never talk back to cakewalk servers, but I hope the bakers will please go ahead and let everyone just have the latest version with all of the updates, patches, etc..:)
 
I was willing to get my version of sonar up to the latest version by paying for it, but the stores closed before I could do this, so please bakers, when you release the unlock file, give everyone the latest version...
 
thanks..
 

Don't you think that's a little unfair on everyone who has always paid for upgrading every year?

If your membership is still active, or you are a lifetime member, the most recent updates are still available for you to download and install from My Account / My Products.
 
But since the store has closed, there is no way to renew a membership there if it has lapsed.  The last product you owned should still be there though.
 
I assume that any Cakewalk redemption codes that may be available through 3rd party retailers would still be honored.  But I have noticed that some retailers have already updated their online stores with "product no longer available" notes.  But seriously, I wouldn't sink any more money into this product!  Just keep what you have and use it until the wheels fall off!

I'm enjoying the idea (fantasy?) that the nice people left at Cakewalk will simply release the full versions of everything to all customers. I have the latest full version of Sonar Professional, and the trials of Sonar Platinum, Rapture Pro and Z3TA+ 2. So, I'm at least hoping to walk away with the full versions of Rapture Pro and Z3TA+ 2, which I'd be willing to pay for.

X3 and newer do not have physical media.

 X2 was the last version to ship on disk.

Like Steve said, X2 was the last version to ship on a DVD

Wrong, wrong and wrong. 
 
X3 was indeed released with physical media (4x DVD) 
 
Yay.....finally I get one right and scook doesn't............

I think Gibson should release all of Cakewalk's products for free to all Lifetime Update owners and $49 for everyone else. I think they should also release one more update that allows all Cakewalk plugins to work in other DAWs like the Adaptive Limiter. I understand they can't do that for 3rd party plugins but they should for their own.

As cool as that would be, the nice folks left at Cakewalk can only do what Gibson lets them. It would also be problematic for folks who paid full price for their products.
 
Enjoy what you have, but don't hold your breath for handouts.

Apparently, if you have purchased Sonar elsewhere you can still register it on your account page and it will then become available for download on your products page. The "Register a Product" button is still active. I haven't tested it though.

But you can still download from "my products".
I thought the OP just wants to download the latest files (for a backup, I assumed)

He can't download Platinum if he's never owned it.

I have plat, my sub ran out in April.   I just want to get caught up, legally if possible.

Yea, got my dates mixed up, disks were available for x3. IIRC, they were different than the initial download but both got synced up with the first update.
