Maybe Cakewalk have listened to the people who only want bug fixes and improvements.

Perhaps the lifetime offer will give you those, but any new features (like vocal sync, drum replacer or aux tracks were) or add ons (Melodyne etc.) will be charged.

Just a thought.

Me neither.....   I even logged a support request about this.  Have not heard back....   I have yet to receive a newsletter even after opting in a few times. 

 
Fixed this...
 

Awesome!  Thanks for that.  Got the email immediately....

Yup, My Membership is now valid through December 25, 2037...

Does this show up in the Sonar program itself or just on your cakewalk products page?

After purchasing the lifetime, mine shows this date (December 25, 2037) on my Cakewalk products page but my Sonar program itself about still shows the original membership valid until (05 Jan 2017).  I'm guessing that the date in the Sonar program About, will advance in due course.  I have opened up CCC and clicked "Check Now" on the settings page.

Mine just shows up on the product page. Will probably have to DL the upcoming update for it to show up in Sonar.

Could you send me the email as well Andew?
Thanks!

On the page for the lifetime update, it says at the top:

Lifetime Updates included
When you upgrade to this version of SONAR Platinum, you will receive every new core feature, enhancement, and even fixes for all future versions of SONAR.

I would consider things like vocal sync, drum replacer, and aux tracks to fall under "core features". I don't think Cakewalk would try to pull a fast one on us like that. I imagine that it includes the same updates as the current membership.

No email arrived for me at all...

I re-activated your email. 

Ya no e-mails here. I dunno, Google may have nomed on the e-mail though, it does that sometimes.

For example, if you renewed SONAR Platinum for $99 earlier this year, you pay
only $99 for lifetime updates. Pretty simple! We’ve already taken care of all
the details and adjusted your price so it will appear correctly in the store.

I renewed for $99 in January and it is still showing as $199 in the store.

I re-activated your email. You didn't renew this year which is why you didn't get an email. More info to come on June 1st

I didn't get the email, but the link led me to the correct price. A real 180 turn from a yearly membership to a one shot everything forever deal. Almost has me wondering who's lifetime we are talking about....still, a nice gesture for those who have spent thousands over the years.
