We’re very well aware of the enormous complexity that is involved in managing your Steinberg products, and we are working towards reducing this complexity. One step is to deprecate and eventually retire the eLicenser. Future steps will involve consolidating Steinberg Download Assistant, Steinberg Library Manager and Steinberg Activation Manager as far as possible. These things, however, take time, money and organisational focus.
In the meantime, it’s the “reactivate” option you want. You don’t need to (indeed cannot) deactivate the software on one computer. You leave it installed on the computer on which it’s already activated.
First, you register the Soft-eLicenser on your second computer in your MySteinberg account, the same way you did for the Soft-eLicenser on your first computer.
Next, you click the Reactivate button in MySteinberg and choose to reactivate the lute instrument, and choose the Soft-eLicenser from your second computer as the target eLicenser for the reactivated license. This will give you an activation code that you can enter into eLicenser Control Center on your second computer.
You will then have the software activated on your original computer, and on the second computer, but as far as MySteinberg is concerned, the software will only be activated on the second computer. However, the software will continue to run indefinitely on the first computer.
