I took the course and have the Commercial License. It is good for 5 years. The test is just a little more in depth than the standard test.
The law is that anyone operating a boat for commercial purposes or pay needs that license. That means that if you are delivering boats for a dealer or you are a realtor, in your own boat, showing property to prospective buyers, you need the license.
I would assume that many people the Marine Patrol would say should have the license, do not have it.
