Hello, after searching here and not finding any specific or current results I need to ask, is it possible to be grandfathered into a Sonar 202X subscription if you are a perpetual license holder of Sonar Platinum life-time (on Steam)?

I recognize that my original EULA is most likely invalid, but it seems that there was some lateral offerings a few years back.

Thank you kindly,

SONAR Platinum is a Gibson product jointly owned with Cakewalk Inc. Your agreement is with Gibson and Cakewalk Inc. Cakewalk Inc. was/may still be a totally owned subsidiary of Gibson Inc.

Bandlab Technologies did not purchase Cakewalk Inc., consequently it didn't buy any of its dependencies. Bandlab Technologies are under no obligation to honour any agreements between users and Gibson/Cakewalk Inc.

It should probably be noted that Cakewalk SONAR Platinum, by Gibson is a completely different product to Cakewalk Sonar by Bandlab under copyright, it just happens to use a shared historical code base, much of which has probably changed over the last 6 years.

2 I am ready to purchase a Sonar licence if it's priced similar to competitors, to show my support. Or even pay for current version of Cakewalk with a promise that it will not spy on me and activation will not expire. I am not interested in pay per view entertainment. If you like current model, great for you. It's just I will not rent software.

Right,other important competitors have released new DAW with full license for less than 200 euros with integrated Atmos render.

I love Sonar but i want my license.

Just as a matter of interest how many of your listeners have a full Atmos playback system? I don't mean a sound bar, with a Micky mouse sub, that pretends to produce Atmos, I mean a real 5.1.2 or 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 or 11.2.4 true Atmos surround system?

I have yet to hear a quality peice of music in Atmos. Atmos great for films flying effects wizzy wizbangs but not honest music. (This is of course just my own furry  opinion not intended to influence others thinking much)

ah come on, how many listeners do you have? what's "honest music"? cult member you are, he's talking about daw functionality

i had a 5.1 system for some time, the most disappointing surround mix was pf's dsotm sadly, the best were flaming lips, cornelius, sfa... but only from the "sweet spot" chair, which was mine haha

just make a *****ing faq about the pricing

/fwiw

Well “they” have said that mentioning the competition was ban-worthy and I'm assuming strong criticism is #2 but I thought it was a clear and valid assessment.  It wasn’t personal but …

not sure why my request for a faq about clear pricing info gets a thumbs down, it would make everyone's life easier @Wookiee

 

The price structure has been made quite clear to you personally and anyone else who reads your posts. But for clarity I will repeat specially for you, the subscription service is quite clear.

1. Currently special offer $99.00 for the year, normally $149.50

2. Monthly $14.95 per month.

The thumbs down is because you know it, you know full well there is no price for a perpetual licence but you just can't stop nagging can you. If it is going to happen, and what you completely miss is I would like to see a perpetual licence but it is out of my control, Bandlab Technologies will make that decision no one else, no amout of user badgering is going to change that fact.

Due to one users persistence at pushing the envelope this thread has founds its personal rabbit hole. 

As for a FAQ there is a dedicated webpage a faq here is not required.
