My current laptop has Sonar X1 Producer and Sonar Platinum on it. My laptop is having problems so I want to install these programs on my new laptop. How do I get the Sonar programs from my old laptop to my new laptop? Can I download these programs from the Command Center page? My Sonar X1 and Sonar Platinum were direct downloads from the Cakewalk site.

The Command Center does not work with X3 and older version of SONAR. Install X1 just like you did the first time. Platinum may be installed as it was previously or with the Command Center.

If your only installing X1 to get some of the plug ins that Platinum doesn't have.  
Install X1 first. You can do a bare bones install. 
During the install choose "custom" and un-tick all but the things you need. 
Make sure you run as administrator for registration after the install.   
Then install Command center and make all your light go green.  
 
I always make sure I've run all Windows updates and install my audio interface drivers before I install Sonar. Sonar likes to wake up with ASIO drivers running.  
If your using W7 it is important to download and install the C++ library from MS web site but seems your saying a "new" laptop so I would guess W10.
