Can I buy Cubase Artist 15 for someone else's account? (As Christmas gift)

Hello! I’m not very savvy on this topic, so I don’t know if this is the right place to ask. If this should go somewhere else, could you please direct me there?

Anyway, these are my questions:

I would like to gift the Cubase Artist 15 edition to a sibling of mine that has a different version of cubase (Cubase 14 LE). For what I read, seems like this version is an upgrade.

  • But I’m concerned on how I could buy it for him without him knowing.
  • I would like to be sure that I don’t attach my random account that I created to the software, as I want him to have the software to his name, e-mail and account.

So if anyone could bring some light to these questions I’d appreciate it so very much.
Thank you for your time and effort.

Have a nice weekend!

Welcome to the Forum.

You can buy the upgrade directly in the Steinberg Online Shop, with your own email address. After payment you will see a so called Download Access Code, that you should copy.

You will also receive a confirmation mail, that also includes the Download Access Code. Give this code to your sibling to enter it in Download Assistant. The code is not linked to your mail address, so it can be used independently.

Yes, that’s an upgrade from LE 14.
