Hmm, you may need to contact 12 tone if you do that because you can't transfer a Sonar licence.

There's a possibility that I might be able to purchase sonar 5 from a friend as he is getting a protools workstation. My question is, should I leave the installation as is, or should I install all the updates that are available on windows update? This pc is not connected and will not be connected to the net, however it does have onboard lan and I was wondering if there would be any improvements to the audio stuff if I did the updates...I personally think that since they are just bunch of security stuff and what not, I can do without, but you never know...anybody have any suggestions/ideas/anything to say? If not then I'll just leave sp2 as is and install the rest of the software. I do have the latest drivers for all the hardware so that's no problem, and the latest version of the software I'll be using... Thanks, D!J!X!
