I made an attempt at updating Dorico. Didn’t work out. Based on my absolutely wretched experiences with Steinberg’s Cubase (and UR44) I’m not the least surprised that a simple Dorico upgrade is so convoluted that it’s best for me if I don’t upgrade at all. Too bad. I actually like Dorico. S…

@Christian_R fantastic. Thank you!. I love all of my Steinberg products.

I must admit the two great things about Dorico is the support team and the update hub. Too bad Dorico is so convoluted I would really like to like it. Although I am not currently using Doric I am still keeping it active and updated.

Many of the complaints about Dorico being difficult to upgrade probably come from us spoiled Mac users. News of an app update is normally presented to us along with a button offering to download the update, and then a few seconds later, a button to Install and Relaunch. Two clicks, all done! Ap…

Here Steinberg - there Apple - a very questionable comparison. Perhaps Steinberg’s licensing/updating requires a little more discipline, but a musician should have that. (I think)

Because of the complex interdependencies between our applications, plug-ins, and content, and because many of our users have several Steinberg products, there is a lot of complexity to be taken care of here.

Sorry about your interface experience. I’ve never owned Steinberg hardware other than MIDEX/SMP boxes from the 80s and 90s. Oh, I had all the bits for Atari Falcon (CAC, SPDIF, FA8, etc.) None of that stuff was perfect out of the box, but it worked, and when I did finally sell it off, I got back mor…

I can produce evidence showing exactly how horrible Steinberg software is. Steinberg is bloated. eLicenser is a wretched mess. The Steinberg software causes error messages in Logic, Finale, and I believe FCPX. I’ve documented this. Steinberg support is absolutely terrible. This isn’t a “ba…

You change your mind pretty often, not long ago you wrote this

Or this

So what exactly is it?

The eLicenser is not used at all with Dorico 5.
