For some reason The Steinberg download manager now automatically installs new elicenser control version when you open it- this broke the license for the Spectralayers One that is bundeled with Cubase 11.
It claims its Pro version and that it will run out soon- it somehow got connected with the emergency All programs licence which will now also run out because of this issue. Ive tried to run all the usual maintenance but no solution.
The only solution is to completely uninstall SL 7.0.20
Also the iisue is bigger because im getting this message in every ARA capable software for every project I try to open although I never used Spectralayers in these projects.
Im on windows 10 1909 with the latest Cubase, Spectralayers One and elicenser software v 6.12.6.1284
I dont see anything abnormal in the control center. The only thing that happend is Steinberg download center installed a new elicenser software verion when i opened it today. This issue didnt happen before today:
The last elicenser update must have caused this. Do you know of a solution to reverse this?
I dont know who from the dev team thought the idea od automatic elicenser update via Steinberg Download manager is a good one. There is no way to reverse versions. I cannot find an older previous version anywhere on Steinberg website.
How there is nothing wrong. My Specttralayers One (the one that comes and is licensed with Cubase Pro 11) changed to Pro version.(also shows as pro in Cubase 11). USB licenses cannot and dont need to be reactivated. the first knowledgebase article is for soft elicenser.
I have an activated license for Cubase pro 11 on my USB dongle since November. It worked normally since today when Steinberg Download center updated the eLicenser software. Cubase 11 normally runs from a premanent license, however Spectralayers One doesnt- it somehow changed itself to Spectralasyers Pro version that runs on the All aplications licence that will run out in 3h and 12 minutes. I newer owned or trialed Spectralayers Pro version.
thanks for describing the problem, which I also had yesterday morning. After Iâd upgraded eLicenser Control Center to the actual version 6.12.7.1285.
Until then, there was only SL One 7. With the updated eLicenser Control Center (and the usual database maintenance) only SL Pro 7 started, and continued to use up the USB e-Licenserâs âAll Applicationsâ license. Still 1 hour 29 minutes to go⌠However, I did actually take the chance and tried to familiarize with most of the functions in SL Pro 7. I think itâs a great piece of software, very well structured! (so Iâm going to order a Pro license anyway, later on)
The same had happened when Iâd installed the free Dorico SE 3.5 last year. But there was a valid workaround by having to press either the CTRL or ALT key right after klicking the Dorico SE shortcut. By this method, one could change between all the three versions of Dorico (at least in Win 10).
Sadly, something similar doesnât seem to work with SL 7 right now. So one would really have to entirely use up the 24 hrs âAll Applicationsâ license on the USB stick, just to get the Cubase Pro bundled SL One 7 back.
Thanks for your post. Yes its silly that the all licence has to go out of time. I strangely had only 3h of time left for quite some time- i newer used it by myself.
Hey guys and girls
i own Spactralayers 7 elements but for some reason i get this massasge since yesterday
The license for application âSpectraLayers Pro 7â will expire soon.
Duration until expiration: 3 hours 56 minutes 1 second
i uninstalled to make sure i really installed the elements version. which i did
but still it gives me this elicenser error massage.
in my account and on my elicenser elements is showing normaly and everything is updated
does anyone have an idea what could cause this issue ?
I had a similar issue. Just let it run out and it will go back to normal.
Somehow the All aplications licence gets triggered when a new version of Elicenser software gets installed.
That is not whatâs happening. You donât understand whatâs going on, and you have not given any information to allow anyone on this user forum to help you.
