If you are still running Dorico 3.5 or earlier, please be advised that Steinberg has announced the end of support for the eLicenser system that these versions of Dorico rely upon. After March 2025, it will no longer be possible to activate, re-activate, update or upgrade any product that has an eLic…

I hope everyone gets to see this before finding out the hard way that they can’t reactivate their license, and neither can they update it. Hopefully there is an email mailout about this as well for all the customers who don’t frequent these forums. Steinberg has records of all the licenses so it’s…

I believe we have already sent one email to everybody whose account is set to allow us to email them, and I’m sure we will send further notifications by email (as well as using social media, banners on the web site, etc.) to try to ensure that as many people as possible are aware of the eLicenser en…

Does this mean a portable install will now be possible?

If you’re talking about your existing Dorico 3.5 license, a soft elicenser activation can be moved to a USB eLicenser for portability.

This absolutely terrifies me. What do I have to do? Keep it on my computer? Are there any instructions anywhere?

You did not mention what release of Dorico you are using, but I guess it is one that is prior to Dorico 4. So if you have a Soft eLicenser it will survive as long as your computer is active. To avoid losing this you can still buy one of these USB eLicenser sticks, transfer the license from the Soft…

Thank you. I’m using 3.5 and have a USB elicencer. I’m not sure what a soft-elicenser is and will look that up. The link you gave me is partially helpful and I’ll browse through the user manual/installation to shed more light on how it’s done. I’m happy with 3.5 as I use it for engraving, not com…

[image] IvorStuart: I’m happy with 3.5 as I use it for engraving, not composing and playing. I don’t want to have to shell out another £500 just because I’m replacing my computer. The upgrade price from version 3.5 to 5 is £135. “Even” for engraving, there are no end of improvements and addit…

[image] Essential Update Price We have now extended the offer to Dorico 4 users as well as to users of Dorico 3.5 and earlier. You can use the code UPDATE50 to save 50% off a single-user update to the latest versions of Dorico Pro or Dorico Elements. @IvorStuart , my understanding is that the …
