I would like to thank Sonic Foundry for the opportunity
to purchase ( and I did purchase ) SF5.0 for the
limited time offer of $99.00 as a downloadable product.
I am a registered user of Vegas Video 2.0, Acid Pro 2.0,
SF4.5XP/CD Architect and over a dozen Acid loop libraries.
I was not looking for another audio editing program,
(I already had Cool Edit 2000 to do 24bit) but I
could not resist the $99.00 promotion. I must
say that I really like the look and responsiveness of the
program. It will now be my main mastering application.
I can still import my final 16bit wave files into CD
Architect to burn my CD. I look at it this way, the more
SF can increase the installed registered user base of
SF5.0, the more R&D can be allocated to improving the
product for everybody.

PS. On cnet.download.com(shareware site)SF5.0 has had
almost 200,000 downloads of its demo in less than four
weeks. I can see a lot of potential customers taking
advantage of this incredible offer, which I believe
benefits everybody including a future SF6.0.

Just my 2 cents!

Bill

I agree with you, if I was not able to purchase this
program for this price I would'nt have been able to afford
it. I am also a registered user of many Sonic Foundry
programs and I think they're products are great. I will
continue to use them, I'm learning alot from them as well.
We'll just have to work around the CD Architect thing and
deal with it. Beginners have to start somewhere and this
is a good break for them. Be Cool

So, how do you get this deal? I own most of their products
and am a little annoyed to find that as a loyal customer I
cannot get the product for this price.

If you are a SF customer, you should have recieved an e-
mail regarding the $99 offer. If you have never provided SF
with an e-mail (so they can offer you specials) then they
have no way to contact you. That's how it works. If they
just allowed anyone to hit their site and get the special
price would that be fair to loyal SF customers? The
upgrades url is
https://www.sonicfoundry.com/shopping/Catalog.asp?
Category=4. But, you will need to be a current SForge
user ...I think. I was not a SForge user but I was able to
get the 5.0 version. The only caveat is I did get an e-mail
from Sonic Foundry. Also, give them a call and see if you
can get the $99 price since you are a SF product user.
Other than that I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.

I own several of their products, including XP4.5. Almost
all were purchased in downloadable format. I do receive
notes from Sonic Foundry quite regularly, but don't recall
anything jumping out saying "$99!". :)

I tried, but no dice. It insists on charging the $250
price for the XP4.5 to 5.0 no matter what I do. I guess
I'll have to give them a buzz.

Your right if you do it on line it will charge you that
way, what you need to do is call them directly and they can
give you a serial number over the phone. Good luck
