Is somebody had a problem with Steinberg to have free Cubase 15 after bought Cubase 14 on the end of september 2025 ?

Thanks

According to the release notes, the grade period started on October 8, 2025. I’m afraid, if you redeemed your Download Access Code for Cubase 14 before that date, you’re not eligible for a free update to Cubase 15.

As @Martin90 pointed out

It’s the date you redeemed the code, not the date you activated it on a computer.

Log into your MySteinberg account. Click on Licensed devices on the left then on the little down arrows next to the device on the right. It will tell you the Cubase 14 activation date.

If that is after Oct 8th then you are eligible for the Grace period. Check under vouchers in case anything there which is where the support page says it should be.

I also saw a post from someone else that claimed they entered the 14 activation code again into SDA and the 15 license was activated so maybe worth a try, though it’s not officially how it should work.

I hesitate asking, but just to be sure, the date indicated in the “Self Service → Licensed Devices” portal shows the actual activation date of a specific product on a particular device, not the day the Product DAC was originally redeemed, correct? Pursuant to Steve’s post, it’s my understanding the day I activated an app on any given device has nothing to do with the date the Product DAC was redeemed, which is the date the grace period is dependent upon.

Yes, that’s correct. The page shows the activation dates for the computers on which the license is currently activated. But it also mentions the date the DAC was redeemed (as License added). That’s the one relevant for the grace period.

Indeed, and thanks. But that’s under Products, and not Licensed Devices as was indicated above. The intent wasn’t to be pedantic or argumentative, but rather, to provide precise instruction and specific information to others given how easily misunderstood the process dependancies are.

But even then, ‘twer I responsible for the English language presented, I would be consistent and use the word “redeemed,” even if a parenthetical element - e.g. “License added (redeemed).”

Thanks.

I don’t want to mock you, I understand you didn’t intend to write it like that. I really like this phrase. I feel this should be used in a song.

I actually started singing that the first time I saw it. I thought “Have a goodbye day” was fabulous. Until “Goodbye Girl” got stuck in my head and then it went away (nothing against “Goodbye Girl,” it just hijacked the melody).

Lucky me. I don’t know that song, so I am safe from drifting into it.

Don’t try to get that one stuck in my mind! I’m THIS close to suggesting you get caught between the moon and New York City!
