I am dense, very dense.
 
I have some Slate products
I received the email
I signed up for Gobbler
I have NOT downloaded the stuff yet
so I get 2 months free(not four)
after that,or now?, I can buy the package , but do I OWN it after the subscription?
I dont see any real details, and yea I watched the video

AFAIK you do NOT own it after 12 months is paid (and they DO NOT have to be consecutive)  is up but you do get a $99 voucher to be used toward any Slate Digital product.

Or you get two $99 koops if you opt for the $299 annual in one go.

So you have to get Gobbler to get the demo months and/or subscription?  I thought Gobbler quit supporting the PC?

Welp no good deed goes unpunished.  I went through the process with Gobbler/slate and, after signing in at Gobbler, was told to plug my iLok into a port...which it is...and power up my DAW...which I did.  Only now I get an error dialog saying Sonar cannot open because it's missing a string of letters and numbers ".dll" file.  I tried restarting.  No love.  Now I'm updating to Glouscester.  Has anyone else had this happen?

well actually the comments shed more light than the video, so UNLIKE cakewalk, you dont own the product after a year.. I think I iwll pass
but seems like thats where ALL software is headed

Also I own the console emus already, so if I opt in on the bundle does it overwrite my permanent ilok license and lock m,y purchased plug to a subscription?

Yes it's kinda confusing which = pass in my world. IF things get too difficult I'll start using the bundled software in my DAWs.
