pbognar 143 Posted February 23 Please remind / reassure me again... I've got a boxed unregistered crossgrade to Cubase Pro 10 (with a USB e-Licenser) . If I register it once v12 is available, am I entitled to 12 Pro? Or is there any reason I should be registering ahead of time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way should work...if you register now, you should automatically get 12 when released, or you can wait until it's released and register and get it right away - that is unless something has changed that I'm not aware of Edited February 23 by cclarry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, you know I should probably register. I don't want to miss out on a crossgrade from Mixcraft to Cubase Pro 12 for $189. 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steinberg haven't been clear about what software they consider 'legacy' and what will be updated to use the dongle-less system. Portico still use the dongle and I suspect they will use the dongle for a while longer...but that's just a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
