Too late again

I have clicked everything I can find. I still have not yet seen the "Demo" tab. The page I keep seeing says Try or Buy, and it wants me to download the Command Center. I have clicked everything I can think of, but obviously I'm still over looking it.
Thanks again.

Let's start over. I'm logged in. I go to what appears to be the Home page. It says "You spoke, we listened." Not much else on that page, so then I click Shop and Cakewalk store up top. All I see then is "buy" options for several products. So then I go to "Sonar." Then I go to "Top Downloads" and I don't see anything about demos. Then I start over at Cakewalk. Then Products and SONAR.  I see TRY SONAR and BUY SONAR. I still don't see anything about Demo, even when I scroll all the way to the bottom. Then I click "TRY IT" and the whole cycle starts all over again. It wants me to download the command center and I've done that twice, and then nothing happens. I'm just going in circles. I've even done a search for "Demo" and never find anything.
 
What step am I missing?
Thanks again.

Have you logged in to CCC, and clicked on the "Demo Products" tab? You should have access to the demo products from there. 
All the best.

I've logged out, I've logged in, and I don't know where else to login. I went to the Cakewalk Command Center page. When I sign in I go to My Account Home. The only logical place I see to go from there is the Command Center. When I go there it says the same thing....Try It or Buy It. Then it wants me to download the Command Center thing.
 
I've clicked everything I know to click and I have still not seen the word "DEMO" anywhere. I don't know what else to try.

Did you download, install and run the Cakewalk Command Center? The demos are available through the Command Center utility.

Three times. It wants me to install, I think, the concrete limiter last. Once that happens, everything stops. I can't find any trace of SONAR Professional doing a search on my computer.
 
 
EDIT. I may have found the secret passage. I'm already logged in every time I go through this, but looks like it wants me to login again. I did that and it looks like something is trying to download. I have no idea how long it will take.

It's been downloading about 4 hours now. I can't find a way to tell how far along it is. It just says it will let me know when it is complete.
 
I have a mid-speed DSL connection. About how many hours should this take?

Update. I got it, and got it working. I finally learned how to get the download and started it. It ran for about 4-5 hours and never got beyond 40.45%. It ran all night, but this morning was still stuck at 40.45%. So, I started over. Then, I got SONAR Pro to download in less than an hour. It's on my Windows 10 laptop and I've been just piddling with it here for a little while just to see if it works. Well, it works, and so far works great. It's my favorite of all the Cakewalk products, and my first was Guitar Tracks Three, back in 2007 I think it was.
 
So now, I'm going to take it to the next room in my little studio, connect it to a 32" monitor and have some fun and give it a good work out.
 
While that's going on, I'm going to see if I can also do a trial of one of the other versions...Artist or Platinum, on my MacBook Pro. There is a place to initiate a download from the Cakewalk site, so that must mean it's ready and available. This is going to be interesting. That is something I've wanted to do for years...SONAR on a Mac.
 
I'll keep the progress on everything updated as needed.
Thanks again for all the help!

IIRC the Mac version did not ship yet. It is due this autumn..
