This is what was communicated. Therefore I was suprised the activation was inactive, while it worked the day before without any problems. This PC was not on the Internet and WL refused to start. Only after re-establishing the internet connection I was able to use WL again, as described above.
IMO this shouldn’t be necessary - there was no change in hardware or anything else.
A clarification from other Steinberg guys about what is going on in this regards would be very appreciated.
