I downloaded the free Dorico SE 3.5 and when I activated it this appeared on my screen and I thought this is free but it shows that this is only a trial version 
2021-08-30|690x387 can anyone give me an extending support on how to remedy this one? Thanks a lot:)
Isnāt this because you get a 30-day trial in any case, if youāve never used it? I honestly donāt know, since I bought Dorico pro on day one (oct 19th, 2016) but I think that was the idea. You can use any of the three flavours for 30 days and once the trial is over, you have SE.
Marc this is the free Dorico SE 3.5. I was happy to download this and watch the video Steinberg posted on their site. I followed the procedure and after the activation, I was expecting my newly acquired Dorico but it didnāt go that way. The version is trial version.
If you already have another Steinberg product, like Cubase Pro, and a USB-eLicenser connected to your computer, then Dorico will be finding the time-limited āall applicationsā license on your USB-eLicenser and using that in preference to the Dorico SE license. If you activated Dorico SE onto your USB-eLicenser, then thereās nothing much you can do: your āall applicationsā license will eventually run out, and then Dorico will run as SE. But if you activated Dorico SE onto your Soft-eLicenser (i.e. on your computerās hard drive rather than onto the USB-eLicenser) then you can simply unplug your USB-eLicenser, and Dorico will run as SE.
