Cubase 10.5 Elements Soft eLicense vs. Catalina: fixed?

The last time I investigated Cubase 10.x Elements on macOS Catalina, I discovered licensing was restricted to USB key, and soft eLicenser was temporarily not an option until further notice:

However, the latest release notes for eLicenser Control includes (emphasis added):

eLicenser Control Version 6.11.9.3259
Build Date
Mac/Win 2019-11-12
Bug Fixes
Mac/Win SynsoPOS: Fixed macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Soft-eLicenser compatibility issue.

Question: Is it now possible to install Cubase 10.5 Elements on macOS Catalina using Soft-eLicenser for the license?

Thank you.

Will the announcement be updated soon to reflect the change?
