I know that I've seen this on here before but I can't find it now and I just can't seem to remember how to use Sonar to figure out the bpm of an audio clip

Hi. Have you tried to drag the clip up to the timeline. Drop when it turns blue.
All the best.

I've tried that with quite a few different clips and I just get the "Can not do" mouse icon wherever I drag it outof the track view

They may be groove clips (beveled clip edges). If they are groove clips, when selected their original tempo is listed in the clip tab "Groove Clips" section of the inspector and in the Loop Construction View. Groove clips cannot be processed by Melodyne so the drag to timeline option is not available. CTRL+L to make a regular clip from a groove clip although it is not necessary in this case.

So I need to have Melodyne installed?

SONAR relies on the Melodyne VST3 plug-in for this function just like it does for Melodyne Region FX processing.

I never installed Melodyne on my Surface Pro since I never planned to do anything big just have it to mess around with when I'm not at my main desktop.  I guess I'll get that installed then

Melodyne does so much more than people realize. I use it to tune bass parts, transpose audio, level vocals with respect to amplitude, and even do envelope-controlled flanging. Many of these applications are documented in the "Friday's Tip of the Week" thread.
 
After you install, you'll have the best results doing tempo detection if you select Percussion as the default algorithm. 
 
The only real downside is Melodyne's color scheme doesn't fit too well your Aqua or Green Glow themes

lol, yeah there's still a few things that don't fit perfectly with them
 
Can the Melodyne included with SPlat only be instaled on one machine at a time? it's not letting me register it on my Surface Pro

Sorry, I don't know...that's a question for Celemony.
