August 3, 2022 – The Cubase 12.0.40 maintenance update is now available. With this update, we are introducing some new functions and scripts to the MIDI Remote integration, we are resolving some issues with ARA extensions, and we are fixing more than thirty issues in various areas of the application.

I'm sticking with 11 right now...not real excited about the new licensing scheme. I've usually updated as soon as the update is available and have never had any issues...but it all depends on how you use your DAW :)

Bill

That's often not a bad approach. I did the upgrade to 12 and definitely really like it and some of the new features and the conversion was reasonably seamless all things considered. I was converting across to 12 early on so their servers were a bit stressed. I'd recommend 12 though for sure ?

I don't care for the new activation method....install a new hd, get a new activation...have a major update in Windows, get a new activation...mess with your Lan, get a new activation. Right now my Cubase always works and I can switch machines just by moving my eLicenser. Cubase 12 is definitely a downgrade license wise.

But with that said I may give in one of these days ;) Still running Wavelab Pro 11 on the elicenser as well...if it ain't broke don't fix it :)

Pros and cons for sure ?

The idea of using up a USB port purely for a license seems a little archaic to me. I've got enough audio interfaces, MIDI keyboards, regular keyboards, external hard drives and things that actually do useful stuff when taking up a USB port that make them worth being plugged in and they all add up

Then there's the risk of it being misplaced, lost, or stolen if travelling, or gigging. I likely would've have upgraded to 12 when I did unless they got rid of the dongle.

Having the option is good though. Lots of people like the eLicenser.

That said, ain't broke, don't fix it can't be underestimated either ?

A few months and I'll probably wind up in Cubase 12 knowing I can always use 11 when there's an issue with activation :)

I just spent a bundle on a new machine I put together so I have to cool it on the new purchases! I picked up a MOTU Midi Express XT for the midi gear...no USB Midi here. Went TB4 but had trouble finding a new interface so went with a TB3 interface...Presonus Quantum 2626.

I like their new licensing since I've got it on 3 machines.  I found out it might be a good idea to restart your system after an upgrade because yesterday I had a licensne not found issue and a restart did it.

Ever since the move to 12, quitting Cubase is only accomplished with ctrl-alt-delete and end task. Maybe this one will work better.

They have supposedly tried to address that in their recent updates.  A lot of variables though, so I'd be very surprised if it's addressed across all cases.

I’ll ask my fortune teller and will let you know if anything comes out of it.

I had some trouble with my PC
So I had my fortune read
I had some trouble with Windows 11
And this is what the gypsy said

The gypsy cried cry-eee-y-eeide  cry-eee-y-eeide . . .

to add "sung to . . . " in case someone didn't get the musical reference

I'm hopeful. It has exited successfully at least twice since the update. :)
