Hi there Bane,

I’ve recently installed the trial and everything seems to be working OK (on **windows 7 x64** ) do you have the **eLicenser** control center installed? As far as I remember I just installed the demo _‘.exe’_ and it automatically added itself to the **eLicenser** utility as a ‘ **Soft eLicense** ’ ( **Sel** ) which is tied to the operating system and hardware (as opposed to appearing on my Steinberg dongle which I’m using for Cubase 7).

I don’t recall having to activate it to use it (its automatic as far as I remember). I would imagine the activation step is only necessary once you have purchased the full version online in which case I presume you would be able to register the product in ‘mySteinberg’ and retrieve an activation code then add it within the eLicenser utility by just clicking ‘enter activation code’.

I just checked the documentation (ReadMe.PDF) that is installed when you run the .exe and it confirms this:

_ **License activation**  
To permanently activate your copy of the VST Instrument,  
you require the license activation number which you can find  
in the email you received on purchasing the set._

So it should all be good to go, let us know if you manage to get it working ok - its pretty cool and addictive! 🙂

**EDIT:**

**PS** - I just recognized this thread which is recent and could be relevant to the issue(s) your having as it mentions that sometimes you have to **_“manually activate the trial period” within the eLicenser Control Center_** :
