I have activated SpectraLayers Go and WaveLab Go.
For WaveLab, I installed WaveLab 13 Elements, and after activating WaveLab Go, this version also launches as WaveLab Go without any issues.
For SpectraLayers, I installed SpectraLayers 12 Elements, and after activation, the message “Cubase 15 trial version has expired…” appears.
What am I doing wrong?
Why can’t I find a “…Go” installation, or which version do I need to install to use SpectraLayers Go?
I only have a license for Cubase Pro 13.
Thanks for helps!
WaveLab 13 Elements is a package you need to buy, it is not free.
Same as with WaveLab Elements, do you have a license for SpectraLayers 12 Elements? This is also a release you need to buy.
The message obviously tells you that you had a Cubase 15 trial activated and it now is expired. I guess your Go releases did work while the trial was active.
Cubase 13 does not include Wavelab at all and SpectraLayers is release 10 for Artist and Pro. You can find the included releases in the Download Assistant for Cubase 13 Pro.
If you would like to use the current Go releases you should consider buying the update to Cubase 15 Pro.
Sorry no, because this is the english speaking forum.
Hi Juergen,
Thanks for your reply!
Regarding your comments, I can only say that I’m already aware of all of this.
Perhaps I didn’t express myself clearly.
I don’t have a license for Wavelab Elements.
The new versions of Steinberg software always install the full version of everything, and depending on which license you purchased, the version you licensed will then launch.
This is how Wavelab 13 works for me:
I have Elements installed, but my license is only for the “Go” version.
So the Wavelab Go version launches.
That works great.
I expected the same thing to happen with SpectraLayers.
Elements is installed and Go launches.
That was my question: why isn’t it working here?
What do I need to install so I can use the “Go” versions that Steinberg offers for free?
I know that SpectraLayers One is included in the Cubase Pro versions; I own the Cubase Pro 13 license, which includes “SpectraLayers 10 One.”
Ok thanks! I found it, uninstalled Spectralayers that I had accidentally installed and reinstalled the one you mentioned, but still One appears! I guess I am doomed.
Cubase Pro has an integrated version of SpectraLayers thats called SpectraLayers One.
So with Cubase Pro 13 comes SpectraLayers One 10 and with Cubase Pro 15 comes SpectraLayers 13. For Cubase Pro 15 User ist this Software as “SpectraLayers Go” without Cubase usable.
Really? I own CuBase Pro 15…and use SpectraLayers Pro 12 all the time. I don’t have SLP13.
In my online Steinberg Self-Service area I have a voucher for 10% off of SLP13. Do I have that SLP13 voucher because I purchased Cubase 15? Or because I use SLP12 daily? I really don’t know.
If I, right now, launch SLP from Cubase 15, well it’s going to launch SLP12, because that’s SLP12 version extension I set up because I don’t yet own an SLP13 license. If I purchase the SLP13 UPDATE from SLP12 redeem the purchase in the Steinberg Self-Service area and the then activate SLP13 in Steinberg Activation Manager, then SLP12 won’t show in SAM anymore because I have UPDATED to SLP13 and now SLP13 will show in SAM instead of SLP12.
Cubase is only linked to whatever version of SLP I have it linked to depending upon the license activations I have…and if I haven’t UPDATED SLP10/11/12 to SLP13, then will be whatever SLP version I’m licensed to run.
In the Cubase 15 Operation Manuals, references are made to SpectraLayers Go which is included in many versions of Cubase. Whether the SpectraLayers Go which comes free with a Cubase 15 license is a version of SpectraLayers Go is based on SL13 or not, I could not find the answer to.
I’m just trying to clarify that you are only getting an SLP13 ARA extension in Cubase (whatever version) if you own and have activated a SLP13 license.
This stuff should be simple and obvious, but it really is not
Hi Todd,
If by “SLP” you mean SpectraLayers Pro, that’s a whole different story.
I was only referring to the version that can be used for free with Cubase Pro.
Internally, it’s called SpectraLayers One…
Yes, I mean SpectraLayers Pro when I abbreviate to SLP.
The “story” comes from where I quoted you:
So, I’m just interested in clarification for the forum as it doesn’t really affect me. Like I said, in my case with Cubase 15 comes SpectraLayers Pro 12, because that’s my latest version license of SLP. I don’t see where the reference you are making to SpectraLayers 13 coming with Cubase 15…I guess I missed something
As far as, SpectraLayers One or Go, I only see SpectraLayers Go in the Cubase 15 Operation Manual.
Anyone who purchases a license for Cubase Pro 15 also has free access to the built-in tools SpectraLayers 13 and WaveLab 13.
You can find these in the Steinberg Download Assistant under the “Cubase Pro 15” section in Tools. (See image.)
If you purchase a Pro license for these tools, they will automatically be used in Cubase, and the tools with limited functionality will be ignored.
That makes sense, right?
So in your case, the SpectraLayers One feature is irrelevant—you already have something much more advanced.
And if you want to use these tools outside of Cubase—that is, as standalone applications—those who have Cubase Pro 15 but do not have a Pro license for SpectraLayers or WaveLab can do so using the “SpectraLayers Go” or “WaveLab Go” software.
None of this is relevant to you as a Pro license holder.
My guess:
You received the voucher because you own a license for SpectraLayers Pro 12, but a newer version, SLP 13, is currently available.
If it were me, I’d redeem the voucher right away
I read that the update from SLP 12 to SLP 13 is about 90€.
So 10€ is very cheap for that!
Frank, thanks for this
ah hah, the SDM!!! OK, yes, now I see, thanks for the clarification
Like I said, should be not too complicated, alas, with Steinberg users need to regularly use all the helper softwares and locations:
SB web site;
SB User Self-Service area online;
SAM;
SDM;
personal email
Yes, not really worth it for 10 sheckles…so I’ll update later…probably run the trial first like I did with 10 and 12
I guess I am doomed.
