How do I move Sonar (current) to my new computer without downloading everything again?

I have Sonar Platinum with that new command center thing and a TON of instruments and sample libraries etc.
 
Its like ~20 GB or so in total.  I'd absolutely hate to have to download it all again, just to get it onto my new computer system...
 
 
Is there any method or function to facilitate that?
 
Any advice is much appreciated  :)

Hi
Re-Ghost your whole drive If you have Norton Ghost.
 
There is  also Is a free program called Aomei backupper.(google it )
This will Back up Windows and everything on your drive
You have to make a boot disc which is In Instructions.
Once you have saved to a Back up to whatever program you use,restart your new computer with boot disc In ,press f12 or whatever boots the disc up and press any key after prompt.You only get about 5 seconds to do it,so just keep tapping the keys. and that will take you to a screen and prompts you to load the backup.Once that has been achieved everything should be hunkydory!!! It takes up to three hours If you have a load of stuff .have to be patient with It.
 
All the best

can you just remove the HD from the old one and pop it in the new pc? (assuming a desktop) i've done that successfully a couple of times over the years... you'll have to install new drivers for the mobo bits, and you may have to re-authorise some plugins
good luck!

while a clean build is definitely the best way to go, i never had any trouble as i described, in fact i haven't seen a bsod for maybe 10 years now, and i'm a crazy guy who uses asio4all

Yes, install C3 and copy the files to the download area. When installing SONAR, C3 will detect the files in the download cache, verify they are good and use them instead of downloading them again from the Cakewalk servers.

I have had no problem ever Re -Ghosting
In fact It has got me out of a few holes In the past.
New computer. Probably the best advice Is a clean Install

Thanks for the many answers...
 
I did find, in the meantime, that Cakewalk Command Center does not delete the archives it downloads after the installation.
 
Would I be able to freshly install Cakewalk Command Center to the new computer, point it to the folder with the existing downloads and have it install from there?
 
 
note: I'm not finished building the new system, otherwise I would have simply tried it already, but as it is, I figured I'd ask here :)

So, I was actually forced to try this move by now, cause my computer did not recognize my old SSD anymore, it seems dead as a door nail, won't work in a USB enclosure either...
 
- So I bought another SSD, installed windows and then Cakewalk Command Center.
 
- set the "download path" to the folder on my backup drive, where all the files are that Command Center had already downloaded - which is everything. There should have been no reason to download anything other than minor updates.
 
However, its begun to download every last thing I tried to have it install from scratch.
 
 
So, the whole thing really isn't working.  I suppose I could start each executable in that folder manually...?
 
Or will Command Center do its job after performing some other adjustment I don't know about?
 
 

This is the second time I've read this yet I have no problem installing from an already downloaded file in the CCCs download cache.
Perhaps try signing out of then back into the CCC.

I just went to the sys back up, made a *system backup* (it was 100 gigs though) all my samples were on three separate drives unrelated to the system drive (c:).  Then rebooted, did a clean install.  Went to the back up area and there it asks if you want to restore a system backup..you just click yes.  All registry links worked fine.
