USB E-licenser not working/not recognized

Cubase

Yesterday I decided to reinstall windows and everything went well until i got to opening up Cubase again.
I have the USB e-licenser but the Cubase doesn’t somehow recognize it.

And it asks for an activation key. I have the activation key on my profile at “https://www.steinberg.net/en/mysteinberg/my_products.html”.
But the activation key is already used for the USB e-licenser activation so i can’t reuse it.

Did the steps that are told in this page but none of them worked out for me.
E-licenser control center does recognize the USB so that’s good.
And
But when i go to open up Cubase it doesn’t recognize it anymore.

Ps: I tried to reinstall Cubase too but it was no help.


This is the message/ticket i sent to Steinberg support but decided to post here too!
I’m very impatient because making music is the only thing i love to do on my freetime…
It’s only been like 2 weeks now but i’m getting some withdrawal symptoms :laughing:
If you have any tips or thing i could try i really could use the help on this one…

Hi,

Cubase AI/LE/Elements is not stored on the USB-eLicenser by default. Are you sure you transferred the license to the USB-eLicenser on the past?

If no, Reactivate your license from the old Soft-eLicenser to the new one.

If yes, make sure you have installed the right Cubase version. For example you can’t start Cubase 10.5.x with Cubase 10 license.

Hi,

You are not the first one (otherwise I would come to the idea for the very first try) and most probably not the last one. :wink:
