retail version of sonar platinum?

Hello, I just purchased Sonar Platinum. is there any way I can pay extra for a retail boxed copy? I have an offline computer and to install from this command center thing is a major PITA! I have all other versions this way. why did it change? thanks

    Hi, 
    for the direct download you have to go to your sso account:

    From there you can download.

    You will only need the latest version of SONAR (and the rest), as the updates are cumulative.

    But you are right. There are 18 downloads, for the full installation of SONAR and its plugins / softsynths.

    If you log into your Cakewalk account, and click on SONAR. Do you not get a download link under the SONAR info, which says latest downloads (on the right side)? If not, I would contact support. 
    All the best.

    It depends what you already have installed on your box and what you need.
    If you download all, you can choose via custumer installation what you like to have.

    First you have to get a sso account, then you can register your serial number under :
    Products - register a new product
     then download.

    I have an account with all my downloads. I also installed command center and it installed a version of plat on my computer. once you install command center you will not get a download box on your sso account. I called cakewalk and the nice guy walked me thru how to get the down loads. open command center go to settings and on the 3rd row you will see a PATH AND A FOLDER WITH ALL THE DOWNLOADS! Thanks everyone for chiming in and helping out, now to install and offline activate!

     is there any way I can pay extra for a retail boxed copy?

    There is no physical media for this release. The boxes do not contain disks, just some printed matter and a card with a redemption code for the download version.

    When Platinum came out about 9 months ago there was discussion that at some point physical discs would be made available to order for a particular release for a nominal fee.  (just like you could order the install discs previously directly from Cakewalk - that did not contain a serial number).  
     
    I would have thought that about 9 months into this, they would have made this available, but I haven't seem much further discussion of it.

    There will not be a version on disc.
     
    It was discussed on the forum ad nauseum, but Sonar 2015 is download only

    It´s  a (short) story:
    Had the old store account in which all my purchases, downloads aso were listed.
    Then the SSo accounts were introduced and in the beginning, if I remember right 6 month or so,
    there were no of my purchases listed in the the sso account.
    I had to write some PM`s to  Ryan and the tech support ,to get my things together.
    To answer short:
    After that the Splat purchase it occured shortly after the registration in my sso account.
    So if your new Sonar purchase is already registered and not listed in your sso account,
    I would contact the tech support.......

    I´m just remembering a migration form from the old Cakewalk store account to 
    the new sso account -
    don´t know if this is still available.

    Installing via CCC is (online) registration. The offline is for manually installing the files. Just logging into CCC registers your version.
