Steinberg Licence Engine is not responding?

Hello all!
I am new here and …sorry for my English.
I have a problem with Steinberg Activation manager. Every time I start it, a window pops up with the message “An unknown error occurred while connecting to the Steinberg License Engine. Please restart your computer and try again”. After restarting, this window pops up again.
I’ve tried reinstalling the Steinberg Activation Manager but with no success. I work on Cubase 12. Everything was working for me a week ago, but now I can’t open the program .

Hello!
Thank you for your reply… but…I already restarted my Mac a few times. I uninstalled the Steinberg activation manager and also the Steinberg license engine. Installed back but no success. I just installed MacOS Ventura but still the same. So I probably have to reinstall the system.

Did you restart your computer?

Yep, so many times

Could you zip up the files from ~/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Activation Manager and send them to me via private message?

Hello, I’m looking for a solution to this problem still. I am on Windows 10, and have tried reinstalling both cubase and the activation manager to no avail. Restarting doesn’t help either. Cubase was working fine just a few weeks ago. (I’m working with Cubase elements 12)

What kind of problems, can you be more precise?

Are there any dumpfile that you can provide?

This version of Windows and the processor is a problematic combination. Your processor has the new architecture of P/E cores and the full support of this is starting with Windows 11, the so called Thread Director.
