I am a long time Firefox user and had the same issue as you.
I finally figured out it was the tracking protection that was the issue.
Most modern browsers have some sort of internal tracking protection.
I got Steinberg validation to work with Edge and now I use Edge ONLY for Steinberg things and Firefox for everything else.
Open Edge and go to settings|Privacy,Search and Services.
Turn off Tracking Protection.
Clear the Browser Cache.
In Windows 10, Settings | Apps | Default Apps… Make Edge the default Browser (Important!).
Now try the Download Manager or Activation Manager.
Once you have installed Cubase, be sure to change your default browser back to whatever you use. If that is Edge then put back the heightened security features.

thank you for your replay
i try what you advice above step by step
i still have same issue

I know this is a while later, but I was experiencing this and the only thing that worked was for me to run a repair on the Activation Manager itself. if you look in the installation folder for the activation manager there is a .msi file. Click on it and it will ask if you want to modify, repair, or uninstall. I chose repair and after that, it all worked as it should again.

I had the same problem. I stopped the tracking protection and I ran the Activation manager in Admin mode and surprisingly It worked. Je job is not finished but some progress. It is ununderstandable that Steinberg is not giving any support on this problem …

Did this get solved? It’s a very big issue for us as it completely stops us using the software! @Ben_at_Steinberg

Would really appreciate a solution

Please let us know which browser you’re using and whether you have any application firewalls or anti-virus software which could be preventing URLs being launched from Steinberg Activation Manager.

Hi Ben,

Things I’ve tried (with no luck).
