That is totally crap and the language is like we are poodles to Steinberg. It is this arrogant managment behaviour which upsets a lot of people, you can be sure about that. This is going into the wrong direction! I don’t want to be controlled by companies who I pay for the products they deliver. We get leashed to the will of a software company, which should serve us.
I bought so many Steinberg licenses , which allowed me to stay offline as long as I want, not been given time schedules of being “allowed” by the software maker.
