Cinematique Instruments - need license upgrade

@ArthurNeeman

Is there a plan to transfer Halion Sonic Content to SAM?

Upgrade to HALion Sonic 7 Collection. This is the replacement product for HALion Sonic 3, which is licensed using Steinberg Licensing. It includes all the HALion Sonic 3 content, plus FM Lab and Tales.

It means I won’t go dongle-free if I won’t upgrade HS7 Collection even I already paid for it and don’t need FM Lab and Tales. Should I really pay twice for HS3 Collection?

So why Steinberg don’t ask us to pay twice for our purchased hardware just to have dongle-free Basic Suite FX?

I have purchased Dark Planet, Triebwerk, Hypnotic Dance (without Absolute) and I received vouchers for transfer to SAM. These are libraries of the same type.

Can someone please explain this strange “offer” before I get… banned for a month again?

No.

Your questions have been answered.

l. We are planning to transition all the libraries from eLicenser to Steinberg Access Management. It just takes time, as there is some manual labour involved. After all, a licensing system change is more something done every 20 years or so, I hope not more often
We want to get over this by the end of the year, hopefully. So please be patient and bear with us until it is all done.

Once the content has been updated, and you load it into either HALion Sonic SE 3 (only latest version), HALion Sonic 7 or HALion 7, it will run dongle free using Steinberg Activation Manager.
