after a reboot i am getting “launching steinbert acctivation manager” which seems to want me to activate dorico, i have been using dorico 4 for a while. if i start the activation manager it just hangs and does not use an cpu.
Perhaps try restarting a second time. Occasionally my computer will restart but everything doesn’t load properly. It’s rare, but it does happen.
You could also open the Steinberg download manager, which would update the activation manager automatically if there is a newer version. This might help too.
thanks.
tried all that including restarting.
Could you please post the log files that can be found under
Windows: %appdata%\Steinberg\Activation Manager\Logs
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Activation Manager/Logs
I got this earlier tonight. I ended up resolving it by entering my download code and reactivating my upgrade license (even though, in activation manager it said my 3.5 license was non-upgradable). It took a moment, but the issue was resolved after that.
I have the same problem. I have followed all the instructions in the thread you directed to. What would be the next step? Enter some codes again? I am sure I did that one month ago when I started with Dorico so it does not seem likely that I have been running on a trial license.
-------------------------EDIT
I managed to solve this after all. My upgrade from 3.5 to 4 had to be activated through the old licenser instead of the new Activation Manager.
I used the download access code, entering it into the section of “elicenser products” in my account, and after the site launching the old elicenser going through that routine, everything worked again.
So my problem was that I missed the fact that I had to use the Elicenser.
hmm… here they are. i also looked in the event viewer and saw nothing.
i am running windows 10

Hi Ulf,
Thanks for that. I did try all the steps Daniel outlined, but sadly no success.
I’ve raised a support case with Steinberg, so here’s hoping it’s resolved soon.
Best wishes,
Harry
Hi @hrderrett ,
the user here reported that he repeated several times until he could succeed.
Maybe if you give it another go…
Hi @Ulf ,
I’ve tried that several times now, but no success.
I’ll just need to wait on the Steinberg team responding the support request I submitted.
Thanks for all your help.
Best wishes,
Harry
