You need the voucher for it. Maybe @Ed_Doll can help you here to get this into your account.
Ah! Well spotted! Thank you!
I just did it the same way I did all the othersā¦ redeem the voucher, use the activation manager, etc. I didnāt realize there was a whole new version that went with it.
Redeemed, acitvated, updated, everything works perfectly for UR44C and UR242.
THANK YOU very much!!!
Downloaded, installed and working perfectly on UR44C and Cubase 13. Many thanks to all the Steinberg folk.
I should have had more faith!

So i have a questionā¦ After downloading it and activating, i uninstall the elicenser control from my applications as i dont needed anymore, but everytime i open the steinberg download assistant it will reinstall the elicenser. Why is this if i dont needed anymore?
thanks for finally porting the fx suite license!
That will probably be removed as soon as the eLicenser servers are shutdown sometime next year.
As long as there are users out there, who need the eLicenser it will stay. Removing it just for some users, who donāt need it anymore makes no Sense.
Thanks! Yep i guess steinberg will at least give us a option to uninstall it after license servers are shutdown. It definitely wouldnt make sense to keep something that has been abandoned.
Nop. Not everyone can uninstall Soft eLicenser, because some still use Mystic, Prologue and Spector instruments that runs only with dongle.
Correct, but you donāt need the eLicenser Control Center anymore, because that is required only for maintenance of the Soft or USB eLicenser data.
Soft as well as USB eLicenser donāt need the eLCC to work, because the request for the license is built in to the various product. They query the eLicenser directly.
Wrong!
Just for sundayās leisure I uninstalled eLicenser Control and of course I cannot load Mystic/Prologue/Spector plugins.
Dongle is just the license holder. Like flash memory. Only the eLCC can receive requests and read dongle and then send acceptance on requests.
Yes, eLicenser Software - of course they query it directly. So if you uninstall it, they cannot receive anything on their requests.
CONCLUSION: While you use something that needs a license on the dongle, you cannot uninstall eLlicenser Control Center. Even after servers go off.
That Test is completely invalid at the moment.
Together with the eLCC GUI you uninstall the required libraries, so the license Test must fail.
In the future the eLCC libraries will stay, but the GUI disappear.
What do you mean with āat the momentā? Do you think they will redevelop any software so it will read dongle without eLCC?
The eLCC is a GUI Frontend to Control and visualize some functions. If these functions, like maintenance or adding or updating, is not possible anymore, the GUI is useless.
What needs to remain are the libraries to validate the license in this āflash memoryā when an old product is launched.
However, Iām sure Steinberg already has a plan how this will work internally, but Iām sure the eLCC GUI will disappear.
Please give me the link to the article where this is stated āThe eLCC is a GUI Frontend to Control and visualize some functions.ā Otherwise, you are expressing your imagination and understanding, which may not correspond to reality.
P.S. Probably we should end this discussion because itās off-topic here. But if you need any consultation in computer systems, we can continue with direct messages
This doesnāt make any sense to me.
Iām pretty sure one will need to have the latest supported eLCC software installed to continue using products not migrated to Steinberg Licensing. I donāt see how the products could work, otherwise.
Ok, I didnāt want to go that deep into this, especially because this thread is about the Basix FX Suite.
However, here is some details, Iām on Windows so on Mac this looks different, but the way it works is basically the same.
Here is a screenshot of the contents of the eLicenser installation directory.
As you can see there are two subdirectories, one contains the eLCC executable and one contains a program named SYNSOPOS.exe. This is the āProtected Object Serverā. If you uninstall the āeLicenser Control Centerā it will delete all of these files and that is also removing the pieces that need to survive.
Lets have a look into the process list. If you launch the eLCC GUI you will get this view
You can see that the eLCC (the GUI component) is launching the SYNSOPOS.exe in the background. One executable that requires another executable to work, obviously.
For testing purposes I have reinstalled Cubase Pro 11 and, as you can see in the screenshot here, it also starts background components. It is the SYNSOPOS.exe component, the object server.
There is no trace of the eLCC.exe anymore here, it is not needed to allow the application to work and get the license check passed.
In all current applications a new component is loaded first, the SteinbergLicenseEngine.exe, which is part of the Activation Manager. At the moment even here the old SYNSOPOS.exe is attached and loaded, as this screenshot from HALion Sonic shows
The dependency between the Steinberg Licensing and the old eLicenser is currently required, but can be removed by a hidden setting in a JSON file in the Activation Manager installation.
This is what Iām talking about, you donāt need the GUI part to allow eLicenser based applications to work. What you need to keep is the licensing piece, which seems to be the SYNSOPOS.exe.
What I can imagine for the future is that Steinberg changes the eLCC into a dumb license viewer, so that someone can at least have a look into the USB dongle, but does not try to access the eLicenser servers at Steinberg (because they are shutdown). For applications to just work the eLCC is not required.
Ok, enough of this. Iām not going any deeper in this, lets work on music and not discuss computer technology.
Thanks for the offer, but I do that myself for the last three decades.
Thanks for sharing that information, @JuergenP . Very interesting, indeed !
Do you think you are the only one that smart?
Where did you get SYNSOPOS.exe installation? Simple question needs simple answer.
You are not eligible to install SYNSOPOS separately. Of course we are from the age of ātry before buyā, but last decades Iām clear from such operations.
So if you uninstall eLicenser software, how do you get SYNSOPOS?
