Old Licenses - Can they be transferred off dongle?

[John_Paul_Irvine]

I have some old Steinberg purchases, such as Hypnotic Dance that still have their licenses on a dongle. Can these be transferred to my computer so that I can dispense with my dongle? It’s bound to fail at some point at which time I lose several purchases, which is not ideal.

PS I posted a different post a little while ago about not being able to get Hypnotic Dance on my newly reinstalled system, but I have now managed. That post has been deleted in case someone saw it and was wondering…

Thanks Ben, is it a software or hardware issue, as I have to choose…?

Now, if I could just get a dongle-less version of Cubase 6.5 before the cats eat my elicensor

Twer you I would buy an additional used license <= Pro 11 on a USB licenser. There are always some offers popping up for a reasonable price but there will be less and less over the coming years. This way you don’t have to keep your cat on a leash anymore inside your house…

[SOLVED] USB eLicenser inside a laptop?

Update: the laptop I was trying to fit the new, shorter eLicenser into is now long out of support, so with nothing left to lose, I was able to flash a modified BIOS which “whitelisted” the internal MiniPCIe port, now working perfectly with the Delock MiniPCIe-to-USB2 adapter. Here’s what it looks like: [Built-in_eLicenser.JPG]
