Cubase 14 upgrade

Good afternoon: I have Cubase 10.5 and I am going to upgrade to Cubase 14. When the update is installed, do I have to reinstall all purchased non-Cubase plugins? Kind regards

Unless specifically Cubase 14 has something special with it, it should not be necessary to re-install your not Steinberg plugins. Those are stored in folders that successive versions of Cubase recognize as plug-in folders.

The only thing to watch out for is whether you have VST3 versions of your plugins or not. As of Cubase 13 VST2 is no longer supported.
I wish you all the best with your update!

Cubase 14 will copy and apply Cubase 10´s preferences, so there is pretty much nothing you need to do.
As @themancable already mentioned: if you rely on VST2 plugins you need to explicetly include them in Cubase 14 by checking the VST2 box in your VST plugin manager (Studio/VST plugin manager, see option below).

Smooth transition!
