I’ve been using SX2 until very recently, I know it’s old but I get a decent workflow going and there seemed no need to change.
I tried the demo version of Elenents 7 a while back, and found it actually ran pretty smoothly on my aging Dell DAW. So I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to Elements 8.
Try as I may, I cannot seem to activate / authorise the installed software, I have tried several times also, numerous restarts, installing the latest version of the eLicence software. I have 200Mb broadband which is really stable so I know the Internet connection is fine.
Thanks for the speedy reply, as there is no Steinberg ‘upgrade’ from SX2 to Elements 8 that I was aware of, I kinda guessed users would just understand that I bought a never version of Cubase (never assume right?).
Here’s what I downloaded, which I believe is the latest version.
Version: 6.9.2.1179
Size: 33.3 MB
Release: October 22nd, 2015
eLicenser: USB- and Soft-eLicenser
My main DAW is a 3GHz Dual core with 4 GB, running Win7 32Bit, I was able to run Elements 7 so I expected the hardware to be compatible.
I also have a Dell i5 laptop with 8GB set up as a DAW, I think I’ll give that a go first. Incidentally, can I have Elements 8 installed on both machines? I’m guessing probably yes, but will only run one instance at a time?
The only way to run Elements on 2 machines is to buy a usb elicenser key and move your license to this and then you can run on whichever computer it’s plugged into.
