Second hand Zoom R16. Can I get a Cubase LE activation code?

I’ve just bought Second hand Zoom R16 from CeX in the UK. It did not come with an activation code for Cubase LE, even though it says it is included on the original box. Can I get one for free, or do I have to pay for it? Are there any other DAW’s that will work on it?

Thank you

Hi and welcome to the forum,

It’s between you and the seller, if the Cubase license was part of his offer. Steinberg doesn’t provide extra licenses in these cases.

On the Zoomsite you can find a chart with compatible DAW’s:
