I have Cubase 6 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (my “regular” version of the DAW) as well as Cubase 8 on Mac OSX 10.11.
Although I downloaded Cubase 8 a long time ago, I only initiated it recently. I was told there was no valid licence, despite it being
listed on the dongle via Control Centre. I downloaded again, activated but still had to get a fresh e-licence to run it.
Ok, got it done.
Returning to Cubase 6 saw all my UAD plugins gone, so had to reinstall, a hassle. A connection? Dunno.
But now when I re-boot from 10.6.8 to 10.11, I’m again faced with the whole “no valid licence” problem for Cubase 8.
Worse, the activation and CC maintenance both quit on me every time I try them, so now I can’t run Cubase 8 at all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi,
I would recommend to install the same (latest) eLCC version on both macOS versions. Then I would recommend to trigger the Maintenance, to sync to the server.
I don’t believe the UAD story was related.
Hi Martin,
thanks for the tips.
The latest version of eLCC cannot be installed in 10.6.8.
I had to reactivate Pro 8 with a refreshed e-license once again.
It seems whenever I change OS, Pro 8 wigs out, and I have to start all over with LCC.
OK, this is driving me nuts.
Now I"m told I have no licences for ANY product, and eLLC says there is “no problem to solve”
when I try to recover my e-licences.
I cannot launch any Cubase in 10.11 and maintenance quits every time. The “Registration”
field in eLLC is greyed out. Every attempt at maintenance gives me “LCC2:Exclusive” “???” error messages.
Any help Steinberg? Anyone?
Why does this happen every time I boot into OSX 10.11?
