A friend asked me to fix BOTH his kids (in their 20's) laptops which would no longer boot. Both had HD's at 100% both had huge HD's ( 800GB) both had the download folders holding the bulk of the storage. Both kids were unaware that there was even such a thing as a download folder. 
Every movie or song they ever downloaded was still there and many with 10 or more versions. To them everything is a download and have no clue what the word LOCAL storage even means.

Nope, no other reason. Just nostalgia! It was the first time I really enjoyed midi and recording, etc.

I asked cakewalk support some time back about installing splat on more than one computer. They said 'fine, we just ask that you only use splat one one computer at a time'.
Is that no longer doable?

I have it on 7 computers, all say Legal. As long as your the only one who uses it you are not breaking the rules. and  why not?   Cubase and Wave Lab can be installed on a zillion machines but only you with your Dongle in hand can use it one machine at a time. In a way,  even though they are not popular, I like the dongle system.. It always works and never complains when I switch between computers. If Sonar used a dongle there would be 100's pages missing from this forum right now. 
 
But then of course along comes a W10 update that caused Wave Lab to tell me I needed to update the e licencer app. It was bogus, Wave Lab still ran no problem but with a nag. That is now long gone because I nuked W10. 
 
My advice is everyone should install Splat on every available household computer as safety backups.

I have to laugh at the suggestion that flash drives are safer than burning to DVD.  Ha.  Pull one out without ejecting it properly one day and you will see.  "New" and "modern" are not the same as "safe" and "reliable".
 
DVDs get scratched and die.  That is why you put them in a case instead of in your toolbox with the sandpaper.  Lifetime expectancy otherwise is on the order of 100 to 200 years.  Burn the contents of your Command Center download folder to duplicate DVD sets.
