Correct.  eLCC is still maintain, bug fixed, etc. so that people with dongled licenses can reliably access their software.  All new releases from Steinberg are Steinberg Licensing-only.

There are still many SL 6/7/8 users as seen on Steinberg forums. SL is SAM compatible since version 9. eLCC is also required while upgrading SL 6/7/8 to 10, so it kind of looks more than coincidence that an eLCC update appears on the very same day of the SL 10 release.

not really - the last Mac bug fix was in 2021.

it was a coincidence.  The eLCC update is actually a couple of days old.

There are very frequent updates to eLCC and this is the 4th this year.  They are all basically database updates, the licensing code doesn't change.   Looks like this last database change was to amend the status of licences that have been upgraded to SAM.

it's really not being actively maintained and as I say, no code updates for 2 years - but obviously you are welcome to your opinion.

Why would they add new code.  What new code is "needed."  It is maintained only to allow those users to access their licenses, as they are pivoting away to Steinberg Licensing.  It worked before, why do they need to add anything new to it other than support for migrating licenses over from eLCC to Steinberg Licensing and making sure it works properly as host platforms update/upgrade?

"New Code" isn't the only way to maintain a product.  That's reality, not an opinion. Lol.
