I found the issue because of the “process id” hint in the error message. “Process” always is a valuable hint to look into the task manager. From that point it was a comparision of what is active without cubase running (after a fresh reboot), what is active while cubase is running. And what is active after cubase has closed.
it is a bug that is related to the elicencer, it causes issues discussed in other threads as well. I hope that Steinberg or whoever will repair this.
It works temporarily for the control centre but trying to load Halion SE into Ableton just returns the same error. So its currently unusable. Is this a bug or an issue with the latest Windows 10 update? It was working yesterday but not today and the only thing changed is that update.
So i just had this problem today and fixed it. Go to c:\ProgramData\Syncrosoft. Rename SeLicenser.sel to a different file extension. Then rerun eLicenser Control Center. Update the eLicense License Database then run Maintenance afterwards. Voila worked for me.
If eLicenser tool gives you failed, try killing the pid for Protected Object Server.
Hi,
I was facing the issue for several times on a startup.
But, what is beautiful is whenever I relaunch cubase it will be fixed.
And comes again on next system startup.
It ist really frustrating that i have been in contact with Steinberg Support on this without success for over 6 months (!). Now you gave me the solution THANKS
