Problems with Soft-eLicenser and Cubase LE 7

Cubase
#1

I’ve recently bought a recorder which came with a license for Cubase LE 7. I followed the steps to download the product and registered it into MySteinberg account.

There, it lists my download access code and an activation code, saying “Not yet activated”.

Initializing Cubase LE 7, it prompts me if I want to activate the product or follow the trial period. If I press Activate/Register, it returns a connection error, which makes no sense since I have all sorts of things running in the internet on the background. I tried it two days later, thinking it was a server issue and the same error came up.

Reading more instructions, I found out I could try activating via the Soft-eLicenser, but I get the following error “This Soft-eLicenser number is not valid”, which does not make sense. As I know, that number is unique and depends on the machine. It’s not logic to have an invalid number because this is a new computer and the only time I tried to use the eLicenser was now, attempting to register Cubase.


I CANNOT have access to support, for some reason, as well. If I press “request support” in MySteinberg page I go to an infinite loop of Steinberg pages stating how I can have support, but, apparently, I have no rights to e-mail support.

As a last note, attempting “Maintenance” via Soft-eLicenser gives the same invalid number error and states “try MAINTENANCE again to solve the problems”. Well, the problem came WITH maintenance and executing it again gave the same error.

I thank any reader who read this through and might solve my troubles.

Have a good day.

I can help you with this. What specific operating system and version are you running?

Hello,

I’m working under windows 8.1. I’ve just installed the newest version of the eLicenser, as suggested, and the same error occur, during maintenance phases 3 and 6(if I let it continue). I’m my very first try (a week ago) attempting to register the product, I didn’t do maintenance (why would I do maintenance in a freshly installed environment??) and input the activation code given, which is valid, but it doesn’t proceed because it tries to reach the internet and check if my number is valid… which falls into the current problem mentioned.

Trying to register via Cubase LE 7 gives error 1003, which I think is a false-positive, since I have no problems connecting the internet during the process.

Thanks in advance.

Hi There,

I have the exact same problem, I have been struggling for two days. Tried turning off the firewall, synchronizing the internet clock, downloading the latest elicenser but still the same error saying - cant connect to the server, there is either a network problem or the server is down for maintenance…

I am using a Windows 7 PC and trying to get my Cubase LE 8 to work, thanks for your prompt response.
