Hi, For customers who own an earlier version of SONAR who want to use CakeTalking, our policy is to sell them a license for the current version of CakeTalking at the current price and provide an authorization code for the earlier version. However, we do not support earlier versions of CakeTalking or SONAR and, obviously, one cannot expect any maintenance releases to correct any bugs that might be found. Also, we sell SONAR Studio for $299 and Producer for $599 to "payment-with-order" customers. Not sure what you meant by spending $800. If you want to contact me off-list to discuss your particular situation further, please write to me using my info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx address.

Plus, if you are buying a second hand, already registered or illegal copy of SONAR, , you may not get support from Cakewalk when you need it. Details, I know but....
