PS I would've bought that package if it would run on W7. However, bells were ringing loudly and I checked CK site first.

Maybe Apple are buying Cakewalk.

I just got an email from Cakewalk btw, for those who are interested. It said that there are big announcements coming on June the 1st, 2016.

$118 Inc VAT seems like a pretty decent offer for lifetime updates !!!!!!

For Sonar Platinum, yes. But what if they release a new DAW later? Or just rename Sonar?

I don't know if I want to pay that much for the lifetime licence (233 € with VAT, about 2x annual renewal price). DAW world is unpredictable one and anything can happen in two years.

Andrew: I haven't received any e-mail from Cakewalk for some reason (my subscription seems to be active, though)
My lifetime fee was $99 USD since I upgraded this January. Considering that's less than they usually charge per upgrade/year for continued updates, was well worth it.

They may release a new product eventually but if you follow what they are doing now, I don't see that happening for a long time and at $99, even if they closed up Sonar in 2 years in favour of a new DAW, I already paid for those two years cheaper than it otherwise would have been. So win-win.

If you renewed this year already, it will be lower via the link in the email. It's all based on when you last paid for the annual renewal.

When was that e-mail sent? I don't remember receiving any e-mail with such offer.

Started last night. There have been some issues with their email server unsubscribing people. They got it mostly fixed but some people still haven't gotten theirs. Send Andrew a message on the Cakewalk forums and he can hook you back up with it if you've not yet gotten it.

I would be VERY COMPELLED to part with several hundred dollars to be reunited with my 15 years worth of CWBs and Sonar projects on my mac. I jumped off that train at 8.5 when I got tired of fighting windows.
