I understand that the grace period for Cubase 14 is from october 8, and I´m not feel “cheated” because of that.
But in my case, I felt “cheated” about buying Cubase 13, because, I did activate C13 on September 26, nonetheless, I really wasn’t able to actually use it till October 8 because of an issue I was having, as seen at this post
, and as well, I sent the dump files to steinberg, so they could confirm.
So my point is, I activated C13 on September 26, but it really got functional after october 8, at least for me.
