Not exactly. It also means no more bug fixes. So if a Windows update kills any functionality in Sonar, you'd best have a backup image to restore to. Most users don't.

Also, and more importantly, Sonar activation only works as long as the CW server is up. We know two CW employees have remained for the time being to keep things running -- but for how long? Two months? Six months? No way to know.
It's only sensible to take some precautions now, and be prepared to jump to another DAW if Sonar suddenly becomes unavailable. I'm not saying you should stop using Sonar. I'm still using it myself... but have also purchased Studio One, and hope to be reasonably fluent in a couple months.
I sincerely hope Sonar keeps running for years... but I'm not going to leave myself unprepared if it stops.
