Does SONAR X3 Producer come with Addictive Drums or is it an upgrade only?

I just purchased the SONAR X3 Producer upgrade last week (11/26/14). I own SONAR Producer 4, 5, 6 and X1 and no prior version of Addictive Drums. I purchased the upgrade from the online Cakewalk store and was sent a link that had copies of Keys and Serial numbers for all of my prior versions of SONAR Producer plus the new Keys and Serial numbers for X3P. The link provided keys and serial numbers for X3P and Melodyne but the serial number column for Addictive Drums only contained the text "no more serial numbers available". Is the SONAR X3 Producer upgrade supposed to come with Addictive Drums bundled or is this ONLY an upgrade if you have a previous copy of Addictive Drums? 
 
Lastly .... can Addictive Drums be used like Session Drummer with AudioSnap for drum replacement?
 
Thanks,
Rick Jones

    You are entitled to a copy of Addictive Drums2. During sales, Cakewalk may run out of their allotment of product codes for Addictive Drums. The codes are added to the store accounts after one or two business days. Look in your store account for the code. If the code is not there either post in the Cakewalk Store forum and/or contact Cakewalk Sales support. There should also be instructions about  how to obtain Addictive Drums2 in a file with your other X3 downloads. It involves downloading the XLN product installer from the XLN website and then installing Addictive Drum2 directly from their site.
     
    Yes, Addictive Drums can be used like Session Drummer for drum replacement.

    I went back through my email and found the link to my account and sure enough there was a serial number. Due to the advent of digital consoles and their ease of recording a lot of local club bands bring multitrack recordings to me to mix.  The ability to replace a drum that for whatever reason did not record properly is huge for me. I've owned Drumagog since SONAR Producer 5 and it's very easy to use but the samples in Session drummer sound better to me. The more choices I have the better.
     
    Thanks for your help,
