Upgrading from missing USB elicenser to a Steinberg Licensing?

Hi, guys!

Unfortunately, I’ve lost my USB elicenser holding my Absolute 4 license. I want to upgrade to version 6.

There is no voucher in MySteinberg, but I can see my Absolute 4 code through elicenser licenses.

Can I upgrade to 6 without the dongle?

Thanks

I don’t think so. The update code (when entered in the Steinberg Download Assistant) will look for the license from which to update in the eLCC. If your Absolute 4 was on the USB-eLicenser, it needs to be plugged in and registered in order for the update to take place.

While there is still time and if you can source a new empty USB-eLicenser, I think your only option is to request Zero Downtime to recover your lost license and proceed from there …
