The ftp server is still working fine but it has only versions up to Cubase 6. All versions from 7 to 9.5 are not accessible at the moment when your current version is V10.
If it’s no possible to add the old versions to MySteinberg then at least add them to the archive on the FTP server.
the full installers for Cubase 7.5 through Cubase 9 are accessible from this page:
Selecting ‘Cubase’ from the ‘Unsupported Products’ drop-down takes you here, where you can download the full installers for all previous versions: Cubase | Steinberg
The Cubase 5 ISO is missing, maybe overlooked.
fyi:
The ftp site contains updates and content installers.The only full installer there would be the Cubase SX3, the last version of Cubase that can open Cubase VST files.
The links I posted give you access to all full installers and updates starting with Cubase 4, except Cubase 5 (surely overlooked). 7.5 to 9 in ‘Downloads Software’ and 4 to 7 under ‘Unsupported Products’. 9.5 and 10 via the Assistant of course.
Previous versions are mirrored from the ftp and indeed don’t contain the full installers. Will ask about the possibility to add them, too.
The ISO for Cubase 5.5 is here: http://support.steinberg.de/ISOs/Cubase/Cubase_5.5.0.602.iso PC and Mac.
If anyone has the original disc that came with this bundle I would greatly appreciate it if you would be so kind as to rip and share an ISO image of it. I have the hardware and basic drivers but would llike to use the complete set up on an old HP Mini 110 netbook for live commando recordings at nightclubs.
Thanks in Advance!!
I’ve had full access to Stenie’s FTP for years.
What’s hosted on it for System4/MI4 and Cubase SL2
are, as you mentioned, JUST updates. Neither the full System
4 ISO or even a full ISO of the Cubase SL2 installer are available on
their FTP. Same with the main site. Nothing but drivers and updates.
As was mentioned above other companies take better care of their paying
customers. Every bit of Presonus software I’ve purchased over the years is
directly in my user account and freely downloadable. It would take practically
nothing for Steinberg to do the same. You would think they would appreciate
the good will this would engender. Maybe they wouldn’t be losing customers
to other companies if they treated their existing customers with more courtesy
and respect. But hey, that’s just my opinion…YMMV.
Not the first time folks have tried to send me links for Cubase 4. What I need is SL2.
The MI4 interface actually acts as a dongle for SL2. So If you own the interface it’s the
same as if you have a Syncrosoft e-licenser with an SL2 license. Therefore I own a license to use SL2. I simply would like to be able to use the product I paid for.
And, quite frankly, I fail to understand why on earth Steinberg is willing to host other Cubase .iso’s from roughly the same time period. With some them actually being more advanced versions of Cubase from that period?? Cubase SX2.2 is certainly more advanced than SL2. It makes no sense to me. Why still host these .iso’s but abandon SL2? What’s even more confusing is why Steinberg continues to host UPDATES for SL2 but neither the System 4 .iso or the full SL2 installer. This is very frustrating.
