Thank you all you persons that have put efforts in answering my questions and giving me tips. This is the very first time I have asked via a forum of any kind and I am overwhelmed by the kindness and willingness to help that I have met here. And this also very fast.
Solution: I will buy Groove Agent 5 were I can find the Drum kits I miss in Cubase 14.
I have used Groove Agent One in my projects from Cubase 12 (as a member of a club using Cubase 12). Now I have bought and installed Cubase 14 PRO (complete installation, not upgrade) on my own computer. The plug-in Groove Agent One is not included in 14 according to Download Assistant. Steinberg says Download Access Code is now the way to use, eLicenser is being phased out. I haven´t found a way to include Groove Agent One in the list of Steinberg Download Assistant or download it in any other way.
I have tried to include Groove Agent One into Cubase 14 PRO in different ways, but all the trials have ended with a message saying: “eLicenser(s) contain(s) no valid license for this application”. I have stopped trying new ways due to I have met too many dead-ends and re-installations. Hopefully someone has more experience than I.
Could anybody help me solve this issue, please? Is there a way to add a license via eLicenser as a complement? Or how can I do?
(We succeeded in adding Groove Agent ONE in Cubase 12 from Cubase 10, and before that from Cubase 7 to 10)
as Monotremata pointed out Groove agent One was superseeded by Groove Agent SE. Is there any specific functionality in GA One that keeps your from using GA SE?
I personally don´t have that, 14 is my first. I am a part of a Music Club that owns licenses and there I have worked with previous Cubase versions. (The reason for getting my own is that the time in Club is limited to 2 hours a week. That is also the reason why we are not finished with the songs using Groove Agent One)
Before there were this rule that you were able to load previous variant of Groove Agent, the Groove Agent One, just by copying some files into VST3 library of your present Cubase version. We used that when converting from 7 to 10 and also from 10 to 12. That procedure does not work now.
I have not found these in Groove Agent SE:
Funky Latin House Kit
RnB Electro Kit
NYC Pop Hop
Dog Hop Kit
Brush Kit
Brush Kit CD
I tried to copy in sounds from ONE to SE according to

I can see the sounds in list in my Cubase but whenever I hit something related to ONE I get the No Licence message.
Is there a way to save Preset? And in that case are those valid for Groove Agent SE?
Thank you for your answer.
I have tried this but it does not work for Cubase 14. I used your tip when I changed from Cubase 7 to 10 and from 10 to 12. (unfortunately I do not own those licenses due to they belong to a Music Club I was member of)
I found Dog Hop, RnB Electo, NYC Pop, etc included in Groove Agent 5. Not knowing how your “Music Club” licensing worked, now that you’re out of that, you may need to purchase GA 5 if you want “direct” compatibility.
Thanks a lot, Thor! Now I know where to find the sounds in a late version of GA.
You mentioned three drum sets. The one that is the most important for me is Funky Latin House Kit. Could you just confirm that this one is also a part of GA5, please?
I did a search and downloaded Groove agent one VST3 …it tells you where to put the two files. I think it’s VST3 folder in the common files folder.
Groove agent one now works fine in Cubase 14 (if you need it) But no groove agent one kits… Solution (I’ve just done this)
I searched downloaded and run Cubase 6.5.
Opened GA one in this version. All the kits were there. I opened each kit individually and then re-saved them (same names)
The kits now show up in Cubase 14…In both GA one and GA5. All working fine.
Thank you for your answer!
I tried similar yesterday, downloaded 7.5 Artist, but when I tried to start it I was not allowed to due to missing license. I think when I do not have any license more than Cubase 14 I do not have permission to use any previous ones. Maybe you have a previous version of Cubase which allows you to do this. At least I cannot think of any other reason.
Hi again,
I will buy Groove Agent 5. I think that is the fastest way to solve this, maybe also the only way. Re-working of my old songs, finding other drum kits, will cost me so much in time.
Thank you again!
The 14 license will let you use 12, 13 and 14.
Older versions used a different licensing system so the new license is not backwards compatible and you would need an 11 or earlier license on elicenser.
To add to what @Grim noted, you only get to run older versions if you upgraded from a pre-12 version with the eLicenser. Those required you to update the dongle for the upgrade. Those of us that did that, can use either 12, 13, or 14 with the new licensing system, or we can get out the USB dongle and run 11 or below. But, that is ONLY if you upgraded from an older version with the USB dongle to one of the newer versions. You can run Cubase 12, 13, 14 just fine if you need to for any reason, but you’ll need an elicenser to run anything from 11 or below.
Thank you!
This explains why my efforts were not successful. I guess there are not so many that have used to work with older versions for a long time in one context where they do not own the license and then get their own Cubase license. Then you have much old stuff in your songs causing problems like mine. I will buy GA 5 where I will find the missing GA One kits, which will solve my problems.
