I own Cubase 11 Pro, but did not use it for a couple of years now
I just saw the Steinberg message about the end of the usb dongle service
I kept reading at the help center about the whole transfer and such and also their message about upgrading to the new elicenser, something about the vouchers
At my account page I dont see anything there
Also wasn’t sure enough who’s eligible for the voucher and who isn’t
In contrast to many Steinberg libraries and virtual instruments, Cubase 11 won’t be migrated to the new licensing system but still requires the USB eLicenser (dongle). You can keep using it as long as your dongle works. So, there are no vouchers for a Cubase Pro update. However, you can of course buy an update to the recent version if you like. That one uses the new licensing system and no longer requires the eLicenser.
As mentioned, you can continue using your Cubase 11 with the elicenser dongle on your Windows 11 system. All self-contained. As long as your dongle works or is not lost, Cubase 11 will work.
Do you mean that you want to buy Cubase 15?
Cubase 15 doesn’t utilize the elicenser dongle in any way.
Continue as you are.
