NEW Halion instrument (no licence)

There was an update to halion, with over 30Gbit of installs.. Now it says no licence ??

Do you have a license for Halion 7, the update to 7.5 requires this as a prerequisite.

No, it came as an update ?? it just dowloaded this amonst other updates.. It said “missing sounds”

did anyone else get this issue ??

You refer to the Halion 7 content though, and for that you need a Halion license, which includes that 30 gb of content.

If you don’t have a Halion 7 license, the content you own is everything under the Cubase 15 Pro Tab:

but, why this was an free update to halion I own ??

how to remove all the unpaid items.. ?? I’m not going to delete them individually ??

and, it said "missing content " ??

I have Dorico 6 licence

Please show a screenshot of the entry in the Activation Manager.

What Halion do you own?

Same. Halion is a separate product, the license you have is for the items in the Dorico 6 tab.

Please have a look at the Download assistant to clear up any confusion.

You can uninstall the Halion Content in the Library Manager, and the Halion executable using Settings>Apps (on windows - you did not tell us what platform you’re on)

I’m on windows.. I have Idconica Opus, but I dont have it downloaded now ?? I came to see any updates and it showed up to update Halioin and the sounds ??

was this update probably an error ??

how do I know what to remove.. ??

You would uninstall Halion using the Windows Settings>Apps, or the Programs and Features Control Panel.

If you understand the 3 apps involved here managing content is easy

The Steinberg Download Assistant allows for secure and convenient downloads of updates as well as full installers.


Steinberg Activation Manager is a tool that allows you to manage Steinberg Licensing licenses, introduced in January 2022

The Steinberg Library Manager is a tool that allows you to manage additional content, for example, moving or deleting HALion and Groove Agent sound libraries. It is installed along with many current Steinberg programs.
