Well that adds $40- $50 to the price for me as I pay $10 a gig  for bandwidth at my home which uses Cellular internet because I'm rural. This means taking my DAW all the way to town just to install software??! I guess I'll just wait until it comes out on DVD then. I can't buy it anyhow until someone fixes my store account.

Disclaimer, I haven't tried this but I think you could download it using command center on the PC you used and then copy over the whole C3 Cache folder and transfer it to your home machine. That way it will be all synced up on your home PC. Let us know if it works :) At worst it will be no different than downloading externally.
 
Edit: This won't work since C3 will think it needs to redownload again apparently.

Thanks Noel, I'll try that, I'll be using my laptop, I don't do any recording with it anymore it's to wimpy, but I like to install Sonar so I can open it while helping people on the forum. So It's one of the 3 machines I'll be installing it on. The 3rd is just a back up DAW I keep just in case something goes haywire when a client is here. 
 
I still might wait for the DVD if we can order those extra. 
 
But I still can't pay for nothing until support fixes my Cactus Music account log in. Are they just real busy? It's been since Friday. 

Never mind the developer says that won't work so don't bother :)

Just downloaded it. Now I have to wait till I get home to install it.

Important: If you downloaded it on a different machine please note that you will need to install command center on the main machine if you want to activate SONAR. Or alternatively you will have to use the manual offline activation process.
 
Its a much more straightforward and streamlined user experience to use command center to download and install SONAR so I don't recommend downloading from the web and installing it standalone. Another disadvantage to this approach is that Command Center will not know that your product is installed since it won't have it cached. So you wont get accurate update notifications.

Thanks for the heads up, Noel. Unfortunately, I don't have internet at my house. I did the offline authorization using my church's computer, and everything is running great! Thanks for a great product, guys!

I tried downloading thru the Command Center....after 3+ hours it was up to 73%.  I get online thru my phone which is usually pretty fast.  Finally my phone battery died (even being plugged into the USB port) so I shut everything down and came home.
 
Went to my account page here at home...thru same phone connection.  Downloaded the Platinum installer in 15 minutes to my laptop.
 
So command center can't see our products unless they are installed thru C3 ?  I'd really rather not have to try the download again since I now have the installer downloaded.

Since I don't have internet at home, I'm hoping that I'll be able to see available updates when I go to my store account. Does anyone know if this is the case?

I ordered the boxed version from sweetwater as I have a new computer and slower wi-fi connection. My question is  will the CC know that I have installed it from disk? Also will there be any advantage to owning the disk as all the updates will be on the CC, or will I be able to write the updates to disk? (highly unlikely I know)

The main advantage to having it on disk is that you can install it on multiple machines without having to download it every time. You'll be able to save the updates on CD or USB stick.

I still got no email from JRR Shop. But I logged in and found the serial in my account. Weird.

Maybe this helps other people...
