I have emailed support 2x and got nothing back yet.
Basically i want plugin load balancing, i own Sonar professional, But now i use a lot of the Acustica plugs and think the plug in load balancing will help a lot with those as they are high cpu usage.
Anyone know who to talk to to get an upgrade at this point in time or get a deal on sonar Platinum?

Thanks, i am aware of the situation, that is why this is difficult to do.
 

So you own Sonar Platinum and then you want to get a copy of Sonar Platinum? Are you using a bootleg copy of Sonar, otherwise you should be able to get a copy by your membership in the download center.

Re-read the OP. The user has Professional and wants to upgrade to Platinum. Unfortunately, upgrading is not an option ATM.

The only circumstance in which plugin load balancing will make a positive difference is if you have one or more cores which spike a lot higher than the rest. This usually happens when a plugin or synth makes a heavy load on one core. If your cores are heavily taxed, but all at a similar level, then load balancing won't help and in fact might make matters worse because the feature carries some overhead itself. 
 
Personally I've never seen a benefit. This is what my cores typically look like in a very large, plugin-heavy project - as you can see, quite high CPU usage but nothing is really spiking. 
 

 
In fact in my case, turning on load balancing often makes Sonar refuse to start the transport for whatever reason.

I own Professional not Platinum. My first processor in line of 16 cores is spiked when i use the Acustica plugs. They all seem to fall on the 1st one. Load balancing seems ideal for me here from what i have read.

I do, but i like these plugs on busses too and using the patch point tracks still is a bunch of work to record down in real time etc.

I wish mine looked like that! What plugs do you use?
