I have a copy of Sonar Pro in the box that hasn't been registered so can I register it and download the latest version?
Can you download the whole thing to disk or can you only download using the Cakewalk utility?

I too would like to find a way to upgrade to Platinum from Professional, and/or at least acquire Rapture Pro and Z3TA+ 2.
I'm still relatively new to Sonar, but after trying a couple of other DAWs this past couple of days, I prefer Sonar.
Some other DAW UIs look better on YouTube for me, but I didn't like them in the flesh.
Just saying in case the right people are listening.
 
The idea of someone at CW saying `ah fu$k it!', and releasing everything else for free to registered customers, sounds like fun.

This really sucks, I've used Sonar for years. My motherboard died a couple of weeks ago and I've literally just finished building a brand new PC tonight. The last version I bought was X1 and I came here a few minutes ago ready to dig my wallet out and upgrade...

I haven't really followed Sonar's progress for a few years as X1 was working fine for me so I'm not sure how it works with subscriptions. I guess I definitely can't buy Platinum from the CW store but if I bought a retail boxed copy would I still get full functionality? I can live without future updates as long as it's stable.

I think that is a problem we are all having at the moment. It's only when you lose it that you realize what an amazing thing you had.

I would give it a few days. There so far has only been one post in the announcements forum that has sparked all this chaos. Who knows, maybe Noel was drunk when he posted that or we are all having a bad dream and will wake up soon. I am sure we will hear more details soon and things will calm down a bit. Most users haven't heard this news yet so I would expect there will be a formal announcement at some time and maybe a goodwill offering from Gibson. No, forget that last part. There more than likely will be a way to upgrade and it will probably be for a bargain price. I'm sure Gibson won't say no to the opportunity to take more of your money. The store is closed but I am sure they could process payments manually. Ironically they may not be able to cope with the demand.
 

The Cakewalk Store is closed. No sales, no development.

Are the installation files personal or generic?

has anyone noticed the license agreement? 
there is none under legal...  only for 3rd party stuff...
make me wounder if there is no license agreement.....
or is it someplace else?

its up for sale now again... ?
