They allow to move licence from connected to non connected computer , so the moving of licence on device will be there question is the elicencer .... I have one question , if the delay of 30 dayz or 365 is pass , a synchro of the comp is sufficnet or we lose te licence ? on roland , the software appears in demo mode , witch let's you remember then to sync ....

backwoods Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 they'll probably go the physical ilok if they are going to use ilok cloud too. sounds like pro tools. i hope the portico plugs and whatnot get moved over to ilok too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just by reading your post Zo, I can clearly see that we (musicians) are getting a new headache with this new authorization scheme. Like I said before, bumming. And I smell that they are trying to entice us, those who didn't register/update Cubase to the latest version yet, with this free upgrade to v12 and then just announce the end of eLicenser support leaving us basically with no choice than enter the new "backdoor-subscription" reality. Bumming. Edited November 11, 2021 by chris.r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 How many computers can I use with a new license? You are allowed to install our products on multiple computers, but you can only activate a product on two computers at any one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarine Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Quote Steinberg Licensing is an identity-based license management system, where your identity as our customer is at the heart of everything. Whether you are an individual customer, or you represent an organization, educational institution, or enterprise, your entitlement to use Steinberg products flows from your Steinberg ID. I already miss the dongle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dongle breaks the licence is gone - irretrievably. Steinberg are stopping selling elicencers and 3rd party vendors (VSL etc) are moving to other solutions (eg ilok) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Some are probably not aware how terrible VSL's license replacement policy was. They started selling dongle insurance. Hopefully that will change. If VSL every goes to a 2 machine limit I'll be a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more Vienna keys or their protection plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
