The attached photo shows two USB e-Licensers I received years ago with Arturia software instruments.
Are they both usable with Dorico?
I’m asking because after iLok updated their hardware, some software required the 2d-generation dongle.
e-Licenser Control Center doesn’t say anything about the hardware being different, but I’d like some verification from Steinberg.
In other words, is there more than one version of the Steinberg USB dongle, how are the different versions distinguished, and which works with Dorico?
(BTW, Arturia has long since switched to a proprietary software solution for both managing licenses and for plugin upgrades, which allows for authorizing on two machines. I would love to see Steinberg doing that too.)
Yes bobk, I have a dongle exactly equal to yours and it works. It’s not the most recent, but works. It’s not even the most old (longer and bigger), but I don’t see any difference in speed with the most recent.
As I understand it, the two dongle designs that have been supplied with Cubase etc. are functionally interchangeable. I believe the later model is both smaller and faster, which some find improves performance in Cubase.
Mine is very old. Probably from when steinberg first started with usb dongles. Never had problem with it, but Dorico does not seem to like it, and I’m replacing it next week. See my other post.
, but I have ordered a new key. I try to replace my old before contacting support.
