SDA only with Cubase 12 - no need for dongle but still e-licenser installs

But a caveat - if the eLicenser Control Center is not installed, the Hub News section is blank. Why is the Hub dependent on the eLicenser Control Center being installed?

Blank news hub with C12

OK, I figured out the issue. I don’t have the eLicenser Control Center installed (because C12 is dongle free and I don’t need it, right?) As an experiment I re-installed the eLicenser Control Center and the Hub now displays content. Why is the Hub dependent on the eLicenser Control Center being installed?
