Boss, if you have 20 laptops go and buy 10 licenses. Are you sub-renting Cubase by using the dongle? You don’t have any valid arguments in any of your comments from the perspective of professional musician, billboard producer, Dj, theater employer or any field that needs a musician | engineer. You always have the option to “stop investing your money in Steinberg” and stick with a DAW that use a dongle…Unfortunately you will have to go back in time to find one. When you buy a BiG Cheeseburger from Mc Donald’s you are not “investing your precious money” in Mc Donald’s your are investing in your hungry stomac. The same goes with the software: you are not investing in any company you just buy | rent them to make money, to be happy, to have fun and so on… when you don’t like them anymore you move on, you won’t die and they won’t die without you.
