Cubase Pro 9.0.1 crashes at startup on Mac OS 10.11.6

Hi,

As the title says, we are unable to run Cubase Pro 9.0.1.113 on a iMac running Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan) as it crashes as soon as the splash screen disappears, but right before displaying the actual GUI of the application. eLicenser Control and the Yamaha Steinberg USB driver for the UR44 are updated to their respective latest versions. Cubase Pro 8 works just fine on the same computer. Any help?

This is the whole dump of the crash as reported by Mac OS:

This is the dump of the crash as reported by Mac OS, I removed the binary images details due to the maximum number of allowed characters on this forum:

Hi ictmed,

Are you sure you have installed the latest version of TOOLS for UR44 and not only the latest version of the Yamaha Steinberg USB driver?

Cheers,
Jochen

Hi Jochen,

The TOOLS for UR44 were indeed outdated, we had version 2.1.2 installed instead of the latest ones (2.1.3 as of writing). Just installed the latest UR44 tools software, now Cubase 9 starts just fine and everything works as expected.

Thank you!
