Installing Sonar on different machine using Command Centre

My main production PC is not connected to the internet so I normally download the new version files to my laptop, put them on a stick and then install them on my main machine.
 
Ive just downloaded the command centre on my laptop and download the new version of sonar.  Where are the install files so I can put it on my main machine?  I can't see anything other than command centre setup file in my downloads folder

    Command Center is not needed/intended for offline machines. Please check this out. It should help.

    When I asked about this I got the impression that people like you and me will not use the Command Center but rather find our download files in our user account and download them as a normal download.

    Hi Bill,
     I think it's fantastic that Cakewalk has prepared a video on this subject.
     
     Good stuff!

    Btw, if you're willing to connect once temporarily, you can just run Command Center to install, then launch once. From then on a connection isn't needed so you can unplug again. Much faster and easier if you're comfortable with it.

    Thanks again Bill, that isn't going to cause any problems with my license is it as it seems to have installed in my laptop?

    Nope. You can install on multiple machines as long as you're the exclusive user, per our license agreement.

    cool thanks for your help.  Do I need to have Command Centre on my main machine if I want to use the roll back feature?

    Not really. You should be able to grab older installer downloads from your account.

    In case anyone is wondering why I marked one of the OP's posts as "helpful", it was accidental. The page scrolled while I was clicking somewhere else. I can't unmark it.

    SHARED PATHS ISSUE
    I like the concept of Command Centre, but I've fallen foul of using it to initially install Platinum on a new build DAW. I've removed (the resulting installation did not result in giving a traditional "Uninstall" option) as my new set up has me wanting to have all programes on a different drive (not my main C drive). I am sure I've located all Cakewalk files and deleted them.
    Having downloaded the installation files in order to do a custom install, I find that the previous installation is "detected", and so I am unable to amend shared paths. Is this a registry thing? Can I relocate them afterwards? If not, any tips on how I resolve this please?
