Suggestion for band's members cooperation after CbB free will be unusable

[BobXX]

I'm asking a suggestion to decide whether is feasible to remain in the Bandlab world after ~20 years of Cakewalk/Sonar/CbB

In my band I'm the main user of Cakewalk, I'm not happy to have ANY rented software, but I could anyway consider temporarily the new Sonar pay per use solution.
I have other 4 band's member that used free CbB for rare remote contributes on the projects (mainly pre-production).

What's the best solution could be for them - staying within Bandlab - considering that a Sonar payed licence for all of them  is it totally out of the question?
Thanx for help

There's always Sonar Free Tier to consider. 

You don't HAVE to pay for the full version

To find a way for occasional collaborators (band members) to continue contributing without needing a full, paid Sonar license — preferably within the BandLab ecosystem.

Why don't you all just switch to the new Sonar Free Tier
