I tried installing Dorico. I got an error message at the end saying I needed to download and install, one by one, 5 other programs:
eLicenser Control Center
Steinberg Activation Manager
Steinberg Installation Assistant
Steinberg Library Manager
Steinberg MediaBay
I was instructed to reboot before installing. I started with the first one, Elicencer. I got a message saying it wanted to Perform “various” maintenance tasks. I’ve seen this kind of thing before, where “various maintenance tasks” breaks something in another completely unrelated program. Before I try this, I want to be absolutely positive that this is not going to give me a lot of problems with other programs.
In looking online, I’ve seen that other people have had different elicencer problems. This doesn’t fill me with confidence.
Also I found that Elicenser is being discontinued in early 2025.
I’m thinking I ought to just wait until 2025 when Steinway has its new licensing in place.
All I wanted to do was install a trial program, and I’m already not finding it a straightforward process. I’m a bit nervous about this.
So many people are recommending Dorico. I’d really like to try it. But I’m now hesitant.
