In rare cases, the Soft-eLicenser cannot be created during the installation. If the Soft-eLicenser is missing the activation code needed for the permanent activation of the program cannot be requested.

Soft-eLicenser (virtual license container) is missing
- Licenses for many Steinberg programs are stored in the so called Soft-eLicenser, a virtual license container on the hard disk.

- The Soft-eLicenser is represented by a hard disk symbol in the eLicenser Control Center - the license managing tool used by all Steinberg programs.
- The eLicenser Control Center can be found under Applications (Mac) resp. Programs (Windows).
