...and notice that it requires the Command Center...

 
It's not essential. You can download the installers from your "My Products" page and bypass Command Centre if you wish.

Just curious.......
 
If you have it installed on say, 3 computers, and you're working offline, how does Sonar/Cakewalk "know" if more than one is being used at the same time?

They trust their paying customers that signed the agreement that said they would only use one at a time.

I believe 2 is "supposed" to be what the ULA implies. But I agree with Brian in that, as long as its not being abused im sure they aren't going to send the DAW police to your house and break your door down using the VST battering Ram.
The most I've ever used it on (needed) was 2 but I can see some cases where 3 would be needed (2 home / 1 mobile unit).
 
Cakewalk really is cool with its clients. Its good to know that company's out there trust their customers to a certain degree. that's hard to find these days.

I have two computers, one for home and one for the road.  It works fairly well.  I only download one instance of the newest Splat  update using the CC, then transfer the file to the other computer.  Just a bit of a pain with the couple of Waves plugins I have, as Waves appears to allow only one registered computer at a time.  And Vocalalign requires the use of an iLok, so I have to move that from computer to computer when switching.
