Im currently using dorico 5 pro trial and planning to buy it and planning to have it
monthly payment cuz its 500€ i dont have that kind of money. Im planning to buy it on sweetwater and im not sure if its okay and safe
Idk if its okay lol so i need some answers for this if its okay.
I have purchased from Sweetwater for many years. Also I have purchased Avid Sibelius upgrades from them with no problems. (A code was sent to me and I redeemed it at purchase.) I am not sure what Steinberg do, but presumably it is similarly set up.
Sweetwater have good email support and reply each time I have had queries.
BTW there is a cross-grade offer for purchasing Dorico if you already have any of the listed competing software like Sibelius etc. which makes it much cheaper to purchase.
The Steinberg Dorico team are excellent at handling licensing, purchase problems and resolving them if you have anything go wrong.

I have a little problem idk if its safe if i buy a dor 5 pro license in sweetwater can sweetwater open my account or license?
Please contact Sweetwater directly for more information about how your purchase is redeemed.
As I understand it, you would create a Steinberg account (you might have one already because you have the trial license and Dorico is installed and functioning.)
After purchase from Sweetwater, a code is presumably sent to you, you follow the instructions with the code and enter it yourself in your Steinberg account or Steinberg software, which activates Dorico as now purchased.
If you have problems, the Dorico team will help you personally after your purchase from Sweetwater.

Sweetwater are a reputable business – they are one of the largest dealers of music equipment and software in the world! There is nothing ‘unsafe’ about doing business with them.

Dorico pro is sometimes on sale, you could also wait for that to happen. If you own a sibelius or finale license, you’ll get a crossgrade price.

If you own a Finale license, Makemusic has a price for Dorico pro that cannot be beat!

No, Sweetwater wouldn’t have any access to your Steinberg account. As Ben said, they are a reputable company and you need not worry that they will do anything inappropriate.
