I guess using "internal" versions is not a good idea, even in case that is somehow possible at the moment, the "backdoor" can be closed in any future update.

This opinion was expressed by a couple other Sonar Platinum licensees 7 years ago when I first wrote out the procedure. But despite it being a public topic, out in front of anyone who wants to see it, no representative of Cakewalk has ever suggested that people not enable the FX and make full use of them.

The same procedure was circulated by Creative Sauce and Craig Anderton (in a magazine article) around the same time I wrote it up.

7 years on, Cakewalk has shown no desire and made no move to disable access to the hidden versions of these FX. They'd need to do a bunch of coding and testing, and it's hard to imagine that they'd choose to use resources on it.

For 20+ years Cakewalk has not updated the set of "core" plug-ins. Now they are updating them. Note that some related DXes from what I remember are used in Style Dials. In the future they can consider updating "extra" plug-ins, proper locking for particular purpose (f.e. Premium or Style Dials only).

I mean most old users have "normal" versions and new users better know the procedure with internal plug-ins is "a trick" which can stop working without warning in any update. It can happened it will work another 10 years, it can happened it stop working in a month. We don't know. The point these internal plug-ins are not in the official list and so can be removed/locked at will.
