Pragi Posted May 13 Posted May 13 (edited) Me not.😎 This has been discussed a. thousand times. Answer : May be in the future................................ Edited May 13 by Pragi 1
Alan Tubbs Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I’ve considered the perpetual license and love it but Bandlab considered it and doesn’t. Guess who won? 1
Glenn Stanton Posted May 13 Posted May 13 (edited) well Studio One has the answer - apparently you pay every time they upgrade versions 5 to 6, 6 to 7 etc and since they upgrade every 9-12 months, it's practically a subscription, but you can keep the older version as long as you like, just no more updates etc. from a user perspective a subscription model seems onerous, from a dev perspective it means i cna continue to pay my people and keep deveoping the product and maintaining it. maybe the right approach is - when you cancel your subscription, you get to keep whatever version you are at when you cancel. no more updates (except maybe catastrophic bugs).

John Vere Posted May 13 Posted May 13 It’s why nobody is left here. I now have 4 Daw’s that I can use forever until Windows update kills them. And I reverted to Platinum if I need to access old projects. Im happy! But it sad that Bandlab forgot about us. 2

So now if you cancel subscription you can't use Sonar at all? If this is true it is deal breaker for me (I am considering to upgrade from CbB at the moment but I am also not too keen about subscription)

OutrageProductions Posted May 13 Posted May 13 As an aside: other than Mark @msmcleod, I haven't seen much presence from any of the Bakers since mid March. Either they are busy coding on the next update, or... 1
dougalex Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I understand you are in a different situation, but... For "regular users who generally always upgrade to latest version", the subscription makes total sense AND I believe actually costs less over time.
Wookiee Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Pointless discussion, been literally done to death, since the subscription was introduced. Just search back through the forum if you want the companies perspective. 3 1 1
