Removing the USB Elicense Dongle

CUBASE 12 Pro. v.70. I cleaned out all of the Halion files thru the library manager and then removed the dongle. Everything boots up with no error or warnings. I would assume that the soft licensor is totally working now.

My question. since I paid for a HALion Sonic 3, would I have to put back the Elicenser dongle if I chose to reinstalled this software or will it run on the soft license?

Here’s a list of software that uses Steinberg Licensing.

thank you for the list and so Halion sonic 3 would have to be updated to Halion sonic 7 to avoid using the USB dongle

The upgrade for HALion Sonic 3 is HALion Sonic 7 Collection (click the ‘Buy’ button on the HALion page I’ve linked to and you get the option to buy HALion Sonic 7 Collection).

HALion Sonic 7 is the free player - broadly equivalent to the old HALion Sonic SE 3.

thank you
