Hey I'm not a ct user, but isn't it incorrect to use ct7 with sonar 8? I
thought they went hand in hand with sonar major versions?

Latest CakeTalking for SONAR from Dancing Dots
Hello, guies. This is good news, but I have some questions about upgrading.
Over a week ago I successfully updated to Jaws 10, (and am loving the new
features, I must say). However, when I tried to download Sonar 8.1, I did
not have success with that. I knew I couldn't download CT 8 unless I had
downloaded and run Sonar 8. I guess my main question is:
Do I need to buy the software for CT 8 and Sonar 8 before upgrading? I'm
currently using Sonar 7.0.2 Producer and CT 8. Thanks in advance.
God bless you.
Bobby Lusk.
