Thanks guys for checking this out and any help is appreciated

also sorry in advance if there is another topic with this issue or if this is the wrong place to post this
but i could not find any other post with this issue



It looks as if you are attempting to activate a trial version of Cubase Pro. All licences for Cubase Pro, Cubase Artist, Nuendo and WaveLab Pro require a USB eLicenser, even if they are time limited trial licences.

In other words, you must buy a USB eLicenser to trial Cubase Pro. If you decide to crossgrade from Pro Tools, you can buy the download version of the crossgrade and activate the full licence on that USB eLicenser - you do not need to reinstall Cubase Pro, even.


If you want to trial Cubase without buying a USB eLicenser then you must trial Cubase Elements. Obviously, this will limit your trial to the Elements feature set.
