Registration absent after purchase of SONAR - Artist

I registration even needed?  I purchased Artist - downloaded needed exe. (mirror 1 & 2), my Studio Instruments, MP3 Encoder.  Reboot but registration still not visible either in CC nor MyAccount for SONAR - Artist. Suggestions? I've searched Forums and surprised found little discussion.

    The manual process for activation is on this page http://www.cakewalk.com/D...p=Introduction.29.html

    I DO enjoy internet connection so the manual - offline activation NA for me.  I believe my product is activated because in Command Center - "Artist" and "Studio Instruments" are highlighted in Green. Is it really necessary or recommended to install the "other" items . . .  
    Creative SuiteFX /ArtistInstruments/SoundCenter/Tutorials/Anderton/SonarLocalDocumentation/Rapture.
     
    If my product doesn't show "registration" then I only have "trial version" ?

    I was a little confused when reading

    and was not sure how they were installed. The Command Center handles activation automatically. The SONAR About screen should show the status of the installed SONAR. Your member status is shown on https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Membership.
     
    It is up to you whether to install the rest. Creative FX may have a plug-in or two you do not have. The Anderton Collection are FX Chains, some relying on the plug-ins in Creative FX. You may want to compare the instrument list with what you already have and decide what to install. Rapture Session is a new synth player with new content. It is like Cakewalk Sound Center except 64bit and during install will add any installed Cakewalk Sound Center, Dimension LE/Pro and Rapture sounds to the Rapture Session program list.

    I know its recommended to use Command Center, yet, I activated / installed Artist from MyAccount.  I believe my product is activated because in Command Center - "Artist" and "Studio Instruments" are highlighted in Green. Yes, in meantime I have installed all else except Anderton & Rapture.     
     
    Registration is absent on Artist (in both CC and MyAccount) and I'm worried I only have "trial version" ?

    Apologize for being such a worry wart.  Checking "About" in SONAR affirms I have an "owned" version. I guess I'm finally satisfied.

    There should be a serial number displayed in the Command Center and https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Products. There are no published registration codes any more. Activation is handled automatically through the Command Center or manually by the process described in the documentation and video referenced above. The commercial version of SONAR will through a demo mode TOAST message if not activated. In demo mode files cannot be saved.
