In other words, SONAR will continue to function even if you don't renew your membership, unlike some other 'subscription' software. But, once you've paid for the software, either up-front or over 12 months, you own the software license (again, same as it ever was). (This new sales model should help expand the customer base for Cakewalk, as well slow down piracy, since the cost feels low and includes a year of 'free' updates.) The only downside of monthly payments is if you miss one, then your software switches to demo mode until you start paying again. This means you can get into SONAR for less than $10 a month. Basically, Cakewalk will tote the note for you over the year- long membership. Besides letting you buy SONAR up-front (same as it ever was), Cakewalk is introducing a 12-month, pay-as-you-go model. Therefore, during the year-long 'membership' following your purchase, you'll always have the latest version of SONAR available for download. When you buy SONAR, you're given access to updates and tech support for one year after your purchase date. Instead, Cakewalk is now updating its flagship DAW on a more frequent basis, rolling in bug fixes, enhancements, and new features whenever they're ready. Cakewalk is dropping the numbers and no longer following a software cycle of major and minor releases. But that doesn't mean that this is the last release you'll ever need. The new SONAR that replaces SONAR X3 will be the last one ever - no more numbered editions according to Cakewalk.
