asks for license code, free SE version.
Hi @sirfoo, and welcome to the Forum.
You should have received a code in your email. Go into you Steinberg Account (which uses the same email) and click on the red button Redeem Code and follow the instructions.
Then open the Steinberg Activation Manager on your computer and if Dorico is not jet activated, click on Activate.
Edit: See the post below for the real solution.
Welcome to the forum, @sirfoo.
These days, you don’t get sent a Download Access Code for Dorico SE. Instead, when you request a Dorico SE download, the license is automatically added to your Steinberg ID account. Sign in here to check whether you see Dorico SE listed there. Provided you do, then you’re all set: you can simply download, install, and activate Dorico SE via Steinberg Download Assistant.
If you don’t see Dorico SE listed there, go here and click Get Dorico SE.
