Hi! I own Cubase 9.5 Elements (license stored on USB stick/USB-eLicenser) and would like to upgrade to Cubase 14 Artist. Now what happens after the upgrade, will Cubase Artist 14 replace 9.5 Elements on USB stick or the new license will be automatically transfered to my computer? I’d rather not use license stored on USB stick anymore. Thanks!
Hi,
you will keep Cubase Elements 9.5 as is on your eLicenser and it will work indefinetly after early 2025 until your eLicenser gets lost or is broken.
Cubase Artist 14 on the other hand does not need an eLicenser at all because it runs on the new licensing system.
Just make sure that you upgrade to Cubase 14 before Steinberg shuts down the eLicenser support in early 2025. Otherwise you will not be qualified for an upgrade and you would have to pay the full price.
Hope that helps!
