It's the physical thing of getting Artist (after download) from web PC to dedicated Audio PC...

You could use a thumb drive as transport media. 

You could go for SONAR Artist. Or even Music Creator 7, if you just want the basics?

Absolutely...but the whole sticking point is it doesn't come on disc.

So I download it on my internet PC ...but then how to migrate it to my dedicated audio PC ?

Cakewalk and the control centre thing and being registered and updates and god knows what....it's all too complicated ...

I'm looking for different less complicated system now. As mentioned just something basic and stable,

It is no more complicated than you want it to be. Burn your own disc, use an external HD (that is what I do) or usb stick. Don't update if you do not feel like it, and update if you feel you need to. Scook gave you a link on how to activate on offline pc.
I will stick my neck out and say that you will not get the help offered here on any other forum. The knowledge here on this forum is overwhelming, and only surpassed by the willingness to help

Thanks Zargg...yes I know this is a very good forum, I've had a lot of help over the years .

I searched about migrating from one machine to another but all I can see is migrating project files, the info might be there but I didn't find it. I thought it might be a query often asked...

So can you confirm ? I can download Artist straight onto a USB stick or external hard drive connected to my internet PC and then install it onto my audio PC ? If this is the case I'll certainly go for Artist..particularly if there's no need to bother with updates, if the system is stable ..I'll be happy...I won't bother with upgrading from Sonar 7...I'll just buy Artist and do a new install.. It's at a good price.

I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for if you just want to throw your money away. There is no reason to buy the non upgrade version if you qualify for the upgrade. You get the exact same thing. It wont need a previous version or will check up on you to be sure you have an older version. 
 
Just install it. 

I don't mind ..whatever works....been at this a full day now.

No..honestly...I have to keep reposting ....

Some one...anyone....tell me...pleeeeeeease....can I download Artist direct to a USB stick or external hard drive on my internet PC and then install it on my non web audio PC ...that's all I need to know ...

Yes, you may download the SONAR Artist installers directly from your store account and copy them to any PC you own. Then follow the authentication routine I linked to above.

Brilliant....thanks scoop...case closed !

And if you still want your Real Space convolution Reverb after playing with your new SONAR toys, just install SONAR 7, and use the plugins from that as well
