Yea, this was always a big turnoff for me as well with Cubase, and why I never considered upgrading. I got a free license for the Essential version of the software with one of the Yamaha Keyboards I purchased several years ago, but never found it to be user friendly, and the eLicensor thing just was one of the things I found very confusing in relation to Cubase to begin with. It seemed to me, that they actually made it more difficult then it should be, to even download the software in the first place, and eventually just started looking into other DAW's. For instance, I have like 4 shortcuts on my computer that seemed to appear when I finally go thru the initial installation, that I still don't fully understand: eLicensor Control Center, Steinberg Download Assistant, Activation Manager, and Steinberg Library Manager! Big turnoff. Especially when you're new to DAW recording to begin with. With Ableton for example, you purchase the product, get the download link, install the software, and you have a fully functional DAW right on your Desktop in a matter of minutes! Cubase was way too frustrating for me. Even now, when I go to my Cubase account, I still wouldn't know how to upgrade the software, even if I wanted to too. It's confusing as hell! I have to say though, their customer service is pretty good. You can actually speak with a live person. (At least that's how it was several years ago). It it wasn't for that, I probably would even have the essential (or lite) version installed. Shame, because I do hear some people speak well of Cubase and all, but ya just about never hear how non-user friendly it is, especially in this regard. I really hope this is like the beginning to where they like, really get a handle on this issue. I'm sure they must have gotten complaints from others about it. Or, are at least aware of those complaints. It's kind of puzzling really. It's almost as if, they don't want you to use the software...

For Cubase users specifically, if you are running Cubase 12 or 13 you are already on the new dongle free system. If you have Cubase 11 or earlier you will still need to have the USB dongle for it to work. So best to ensure your e-licenser keys are on the dongle and keep it safe! In general no real issues, but if you are trying to maintain an old computer with projects from 10 year+ ago and want to run those projects the e-licenser will be a requirement. The reality is a lot of legacy music gear, computers, operating systems are timing out and it is going to get more difficult to keep these systems going. Time to get those old projects backed up, multi-tracks converted to audio etc. Thanks for the video!

"multi-tracks converted to audio" is the best advice ever for backing up projects. It's a joy opening a 15 year old tune with 30 audio tracks that playback and just work. It's a nightmare opening a 15 year old project with 30 midi tracks and VSTs that no longer play.

Thx for bringing attention to this! However, using the vouchers for upgrading my soft e-licenser products did not behave like this. The voucher code I was given was not for use with the e-licenser control centre, but needed to be input in the Steinberg Download Assistant in the "Enter your Download Access code" field. This was not, from what I can see, stated on the Steinberg website, but it works ;).

Yes thanks for that addendum 😉. The way I show is as listed on the tech article about download vouchers, you just click the redeem button and follow along.

I guess it’s a second way to do it especially handy if you still need to download the new version of the software with Steinberg licensing.

There are no user advantages to copy protection.

Imagine if your car had a mode where it would stop working because it could not connect to the net. Imagine this happening on your way to work, or the hospital. If you drive a BMW you already experience this with your seat heaters. It is a form of insanity.

Sorry it wasn't clear to you, maybe the linked first article in the description will help. Basically the old licensing system supports two license containers (places to store your licenses which are checked by the programs that you purchased): 1. The USB e-licenser. 2. The soft e-licenser which you can think of as a 'file' on your computer but it only works on the computer that it is on. You cannot move/copy this 'file'. Both of these old licensing containers will keep working after the e-licenser service goes down, but only as long as those license containers keep working. And that is probably not forever, as the USB e-licenser (#1) will break at some point and you will get rid of your computer (or it will) break which contains the soft e-licenser (#2). The video talks about how to deal with that.
