IOW, if I have Sonar 7PE, they can install the upgrade to X2 and all the ProChannel stuff as well on a new machine?
 
I asked this AND some other questions in the X1 forum...sorry if it qualifies for double posting.

Sure they can. Give Jim (from StudioCat) a call or send him an email here:

StudioCat

Unless Im not understanding the question or there are other circumstances ...Why on earth would you need to pay someone to install software for you?  My 67 y/o grandpa and my 8 y/o nice can do that.  Its  one of the most basic things about using a computer.  If you cant install or upgrade your software,  how can you handle a complex program like Sonar? 
Again,  if im not understanding the question, my apologies.  Just made me chuckle reading that.
 

DAW installation is not as simple as running an applications setup. It is not unreasonable for someone want a professional turnkey solution (not to mention the added value of support after the sale). Both ADK and StudioCat will be glad to work with you and handle any presales questions that you may have.

Really?  again,  if im not understanding my apologies.  But what's so hard about dowloading the software, clicking on the .exe and then whatever other promts it asks for?  and if there are any updates,  you dowload those and do the same.  Like I said,  my grandpa can do that. 

I'm asking because I'm guessing I would be giving them access to my Cakewalk account to allow them to download the upgrade and the time involved to download, install and make sure it's all running.

Yes, I've installed software, but the upgrades are downloads and I may be wrong, you can't download an upgrade unless Cakewalk knows you have something you're already upgrading from.  I'm probably only saving about $200, instead of just buying X2 (as I'm upgrading from 7PE) but that's $200 to use on something else.

IOW, I don't think I can buy the X2 upgrade, without proof that I already own 7PE

You would not be giving them access to your account, revealing any passwords or anything like that. Contact them, the process may be easier than you think. How does any retailer sell upgrades if they needed access to your CW store account...they don't.

well...I'm kinda asking in an "open" forum here and wondered if anyone had similar experience. 

Besides emailing/phoning them and asking directly is too easy and logicial.  I'm a musician...not a normal human being.

the process may be easier than you think.

extreamly ez.  installing and upgrading software is a lot easier than recording and mixing in Sonar thats for sure.
