If anything happens to your USB eLicenser after the eLicenser has closed down, please contact our support team and we will find a solution. The eLicenser has to be registered in your account of course.
Still, now updating to Cubase 13 with the 50% discount is the best deal you can get. We usually don’t do 50% deals on Cubase. Last time it was at Cubase’s 30th anniversary in 2019.
Hi friends,
I have two 70% vouchers for Absolute 6 that I would like to give away as a gift here.
This is maybe interesting for someone who is interested in Absolute 6 but only has Cubase Elements or Cubase Artist. If anyone here would like to have the voucher, please send me a PM.
Yes, this is why the license on the USB-eLicenser is upgraded to the last compatible license: Cubase 11. With that you can continue to use Cubase 11 or older with the USB-eLicenser. A Cubase 13 license can only be used with Cubase 12 and Cubase 13 as both use the new Steinberg Licensing which is incompatible with the eLicenser.
Hi Matthias,
I have 2 loyalty rebates for Absolute 6, which I already own and one for Cubase 13 Pro, which I also already own. Do you mean this?
Also 2 loyalty rebates for Dorico Pro 5, which I don’t own yet.
It would be the exact same situation if Microsoft decided to shut off the licensing server for say Windows. No server, no license verification or activation, plain and simple. Substitute Office 365, iLok, UAD Connect, or any other application that uses some sort of online authentication.
Same as authenticating on a Radius network, no server to verify your cert against, no network connectivity for you.
I wrote to the support on tuesday via the account. No answer so far.
I have 2 Vouchers for Cubase 13, 2 Vouchers for Wavelab 12, 2 Vouchers for Dorico 5 and 3 Vouchers for Absolute 6 in my account. All useless for me …
Doesn’t feel right at the moment to keep everything up to date when updates arrive!
No. You need to activate a paid Cubase Pro 13 to get the vouchers. They are not given away to everyone running the trial version. But you can buy Cubase with a 50% discount at the moment which is pretty good offer.
You can use every voucher to buy a license now:
So you’ll pay now:
0,3 x (2x 579,- + 2x 499,- + 2x 579,- + 3x 499,-)
= 1.443,30
And if you don’t use any of the 9 DACs now and wait until the following updates,
you can sell those DACs with included grace period then via eBay, maybe next year.
Normally within the grace period of the next update there would be no discount.
So only YOU have to make a discount then, that is interesting for customers for to buy
a DAC from you as directly from Steinberg. I think, 25% as discount would be realistic.
So if you’ll sell all those 9 DACs then, you’ll get
0,75 x (2x 579,- + 2x 499,- + 2x 579,- + 3x 499,-)
= 3.608,25
And so your profit would be 2.164,95 - and I think, Steinberg would not have a problem with this.
I recently made a purchase for an update through FastSping, but used an alternative eMail address to my regular Steinberg ID when filling in the details. After doing so, I have received an eMail from Steinberg, requesting that I “Set the password for my newly created Steinberg ID”.
I have the DAC for the update and would like to know if I am able to use it in my already registered Steinberg account, rather than create another Steinberg ID that will not have any products to update.
Yes, that’s possible. It doesn’t matter who bought the update or what email address was used in the online store. As long as you have a valid DAC and a matching updatable license in your account, you can redeem the code there.
