When I start Cubase 12, I get a window that says
- HALion Sonic Common Presets Content
- HALion Common Presets Content
could not be loaded because the licenses are missing or time-expired. Okay, so as I understand it (via the “More details” button), I’m supposed to go to Steinberg Library Manager and remove those libraries. But when I go to SLM and search for those contents, nothing comes up. I have no idea which libraries to remove. What’s going on and how do I fix this?

Hi,
Keep HALion Sonic SE and remove HALion Sonic and HALion, please.
Hi @Martin.Jirsak - in Library Manager I see the following HALion libraries (not counting the SE ones):
- HALion 4 Factory Content
- HALion Sonic 2 Combis
- HALion Sonic Factory Content
- HALion Symphonic Orchestra
Should I remove them all?
Hi,
If you don’t own these licenses, yes remove them, please.

Thanks, I removed them all but I’m still getting a warning about “HALion Sonic Common Presets Content” and I don’t see any non-HALion SE libraries enabled in Library Manager.
Hi,
Could you try to locate the HALion Sonic *.vstsound files manually, please? They are named with HS, not HSSE.
