In the unlikely event that I would want to go back to WL9.5, I already have two independent licenses and associated USB dongles. And I think this is what the Steinberg notice was about: make sure your USB dongles are in good order and consider strategies for managing that eLicensing going forward as you will be on your own.
It is funny that the notice was never posted here…
It came up on my social media feed (Steinberg)

Thanks!!! I never saw that announcement. When was it posted on this forum? I see it was a general announcement but nothing here. I would have thought that PG or others would have mentioned it. FWIW
It is also a reminder that you cannot use eLicenser licences for updates and upgrades once the eLicenser server has closed down.
Why haven’t I received an email with this info? Just have to randomly find out about it when logging into my Steinberg account by chance?
I hope Steinberg switch to cloud-based solution for old licenses soon.
Steinberg has made it crystal clear that USB based e-Licensing will be ‘dead’ and you (we) are on your own.
I suspect that one reason for this is that adapting the current e License system to USB eLicensers would almost certainly require an update of the affected unsupported WL versions and that is definitely not going to happen ever.
