Current (Updated?) Official Steinberg detailed instructions for Upgrade from C11 to C12.0.10 (Grace)

Well, there is has been this thread the whole time with detailed (of course not as detailed as @Ultimate_Outsider! Good job!) information on the grace period update.

I can’t read every post in the forum. It’s just not possible. You can tag me in your post if you want to increase the chance that I read it.

I can see in your account that you haven’t updated to Cubase 12 yet. Did you get stuck in the grace period process or did you never try it?

Here is how it’s done:

  1. Open the Steinberg Download Assistant, log-in and let the SDA run some updates.
  2. Now you have the new Steinberg Activation Manager on your system. Please open it and log-in.
  3. You can now go to the menu and click on “Grace Period Check…”
  4. The system will check if you are eligible for the update. Please make sure the the USB eLicenser is connected!
  5. You will be now directed to website and you can just follow the steps described there.
