Who else is annoyed by the USB copy protection? Lots of us have mobile studios, or more than one studio, and I am praying each time I have to take my USB stick on the road not to lose it while plugging into my laptop. Come on its 2018, I’m sure there are other ways to do this! ProTools have ditched…

-1 I want that option to stay or I’m out.

-1 It’s the most flexible copy protection out there (that actually works)

-1 I reluctantly stay with the USB eLicenser as it’s the only system I’m aware of that prevents software piracy. Nevertheless, there are some other ideas out there (for example, blockchain, or here ). For laptops, you could also consider my solution and put it inside where it can’t get lost.

No, keep the USB protection, it is the best way to license a product. I can easily move the dongle between computers, the alternative of having software protection restricts use to only the one computer,

And I want a pony. I’m the one guy who never likes to rain on any one’s suggestion, but this is the ONE suggestion that is just ridiculous to ask of SB and should never even be allowed to be asked for at this point. In fact the Mods should probably have a NO DONGLE POSTS sticky at the top. I know ho…

It won’t be long and the ridiculousness of your post will be made clear. Things are going to change. For better or worse? Only time will tell. Do you ever actually read any forum posts other than your own? I don’t have any problems with using the USB-eLicenser, but I guess it’s a “deal breaker” f…

I actually agree with this sentiment for now as there is currently no better option available, and while it was not the OP’s intention to rekindle this now decades-long debate, removing the USB anti-piracy protection is tantamount to voiding the investment of legitimate users. Putting a sticky to …

Enlighten us, please! What do you know that the rest of us don’t? Are you perhaps beta-testing a new and equally effective anti-piracy method that does not involve hardware protection? No, but it has been mentioned several times recently in various forums/sub-forums that Steinberg is working on…

Agreed… I’ve seen several posts from external mod RTP stating the Steinberg is working something new. Interesting for sure. :wink: Like this one… [image] Modernise Cubase Licensing Cubase …

1 Arturia, Native Instruments, Apple, Ableton , and especially U-HE are superior in their licensing schemes. I hate it when I can’t use Cubase on my MacBook because I forgot my USB licenser… All the other important DAW’s dont’ have this limitations. It’s old fashioned, and doesn’t help the legim…
