More Steinberg Nonsense: "Verification Pending"

image

Clicking Activate does nothing. Why? What’s it there for?

Steinberg Download Assistant: * Enter the Download Access Code at the top left.

Where the hell do I get that? How about a hint? The one they emailed me? Why is it not in my account info? Why doesn’t that instruction tell us where to get it? Are we just supposed to know?

All I want to do is get some work done, but instead I’m dealing with this rabbit hole BS.

What in the everloving fck is going on?

Why is this the experience Steinberg treats their customers to?

So did you insert your Dongle as the last picture says ?

The Elicenser Control Center is looking for the license you currently own to verify the update/upgrade. So if you open the ELC on its own, what licenses appear?

Does your license reside on a USB key? (as @Paul_Bryce indicated)
