I purchased the MP3 Lame Encoder for X2.  I now own Soundforge also.  Do I need a separate license for that as well?
 

There are many free lame encoders on the internet, so no, you shouldn't need a separate license

Lame is the free one...
 
I personally had a bit of trouble getting the Lame encoder to work on SONAR. Had to do registry edits and stuff. Let us know if you have troubles.

Sound Forge includes MP3 support. There's no need to get a free encoder or to pay separately for the feature.

I usually export to .wav format from Sonar, and then use Sound Forge to create .mp3's, especially if I am going to edit the wave first.

I go from Sonar > 16 bit 44.1 wav then to Mp3 via Goldwave/Lame

I use RazorLame for creating mp3's from 16/44.1 wave file exports from Sonar.  It's super easy - drag the wave file into the window, hit encode, and it drops the mp3 into the same folder.  Of course, you can set your compression as well.
