Cubase usb dongle: can it be used also for saving other licences?

Cubase
1

I have the Cubase usb dongle plugged to my pc and no other usb iLok usb devices.
I currently save all licences of third parties’ vst plugins, managed by the iLok manager app, directly to the pc.
However I would like to transfer all these licences to a usb pendrive, so as to use them on other computers.
I wouldn’t like to buy an iLok dongle; therefore, can I save those licences into the Cubase dongle?
Thanks.

No.

ilok is for all ilok licenses.
Elicenser is for all elicenser licenses (not just for cubase)

Undestood. Thanks.

5

does it mean that I can save other eLicences onto the Cubase dongle?

Yes, if the program uses eLicenser, you can use that same dongle for those licenses.

FYI, it’s not a “Cubase dongle” as such. It’s an “eLicenser USB key” or “Steinberg key”.

Yes it can it be used also for saving SOME other licences. Specifically:

  1. Other Steinberg licenses, eg. WaveLab. The USB key comes in the box with some, and can be bought separately for others.
    see here … USB-eLicenser | Steinberg

  2. At least one other vendor - Vienna Symphonic Library - uses the same USB eLicenser. And they can co-habit. I have a VSL Pro 5 license and Cubase 6 license stored on the same USB e-licenser.
