A little "your existing products will not show up in command center" would have gone a long way. Sheesh I wondered where what the hell had gone wrong and I sure wasn't about to order anything new until it would show my old purchases. 
I still don't feel like this is fully baked. I must be able to tell command center where I want the installs to go. I mean who doesn't have a sub 512gb ssd as their main drive anymore. The other post got it right, you need to copy NI's service center functionality.

My production system is NOT connected to the internet.  How do I download and install the Sonar Platinum without the Command Center?  Anyone?

Isn't there a download link in My Account | Products?

How soon should a purchase appear in the Command Center? My order was completed around 15:30 GMT on Friday but I'm still waiting to download.

Thanks.

Did you log out and log back into command center?

Yes. It's not appearing in 'My Account' either so I suspect a technical issue somewhere. I've contacted Cakewalk Support, but it is the weekend...

If the new version is purchased will I be paying every year to be able to use Sonar? I have purchased X1 X2 and X3 Producer but I have owned the program for about the same price of the subscription. How many of you are going for it?

No .... once you pay for it in full you own the license and all the updates that belong to it.
It's just as before... with the addition of a no-credit-check and no fees option to pay it out in 12 payments.
 
If you do not upgrade next year, and you have fully paid for this verision, you still keep and use this version as always.

 20% more if you pay in 12 monthly instalments.

The version you keep is the version you have at the time your membership expires.
