Do I have to buy two complete downloads or is it ok to have the same one on my home computer and my Surface Pro Tablet that I use on the road?

Thank you;

The EULA used to read "one computer only." I don't know that it's changed.

There is no problem installing one licensed copy of SONAR on two machines as long as the software is used on one machine at a time. The home/travel PC example above is permitted.

Yes - Cakewalk has popped in from time to time on this, and has consistently indicated installing it on 2 computers is OK, as long as you only use it on 1 at a time.

Yep...heard it said by the Cake reps many times before...

Yea, Cakewalk has confirmed more than one install on these forums several times. More importantly, you can install and register it on more than one computer. They just ask you not to use more than one of them at a time.

Which makes sense, esp. to keep the dongleless environment.

You will see copies of SONAR for cheap, advertised w/ serial number. These are copies that people have installed, registered their serial number and input the reg number. When the buyer tries to re-register the serial, they can't, since the serial number goes with the Cake account of the seller and the reg number isn't available.

I like Cake's methodology of trusting their customers. I've got an iLok and had no problems, but there is something to be said to using Cake's system, esp. now that they have most of their programs downloadable from your account. Makes getting a new computer easy to install SONAR.

The EULA quoted in post #3 above seems to be for a Free product according to clause 5. Perhaps it's for the Sonar demo.
