are there no other options, or do i actually have to pay more money for a physical dongle to activate the software?

Hi and welcome,

Cubase Pro can be stored on the USB-eLicenser only.

If you buy a new license, the USB-eLicenser comes always with Cubase Pro. If you buy an upgrade from lower derivative (Cubase Elements/AI/LE), you have to buy the USB-eLicneser extra (if you don’t own any already).

I purchased as a download from Sweetwater, no crossgrade. This will be my first time as Cubase user.

Should I be looking at them to supply the USB license?

Hi,

I expect Sweetwater should say, what it’s selling, and if the USB-eLicenser is- or is not included.

Here is the page where I think he bought it Cubase 10 pro (download):

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CubaseP10--steinberg-cubase-pro-10-download

Here is one of the warnings about the license key: “Please note: SteinbergKey required to authorize software. If you have questions, please contact us.”

But it is too small, in my opinion.

the retail box is available for the same price! Steinberg Cubase Pro 10 (boxed) | Sweetwater
