hey guys i just installed x stream and halion sonic 7.1 (on steinberg download assist) 2 hours ago but when I try and load an instance of halion sonic 7 and x stream it doesnt load and has a minus sign on all the presets.
whats the fix for this?
am i suipposed to activate it ?
Had the same problem. After restart Activation Manager all is fine now.
Same here. Also Bought ā Hybrid Hitā last year & not all of the samples are available. The whole Activation & License set-up is pretty awful & the Cubase ā Helpā rarely helps me. I must be missing something ā brain cells ? There dosnāt seem to be anything straight forward or logical about anything Steinberg.
I rarely use Halion & Groove Agent because of the awful layout. Maybe Iād learn it a little more if I used them more regularly. ?
I compare them to Spectrasonics & have noticed the difference in āease of useā to be astonishing.
Having a ā Library Managerā , Download Assistant ā & 'E-licencer ā as separate entities irks me.
Iāve been a Cubase user since the mid 90ās - on the Atari - & I still cannot fathom how this works . As I wrote, maybe Iām just too dumb.

ok got it working! so you actually got to download it directly from steinberg website.
you need to click āDownloadā and then itll work
love this plugin by the way pretty much turns everything into a pad & drone hahahh
Thanks xerix . I kinda half remember that. Steinberg probably [ maybe ] tell us that with the announcement. But I will have speed-read it & missed it, no doubt
When I rest my ears from the project Iām doing now, I will probably have another go. .
Thanks again for the replyā¦
It says the product will be automatically activated in the Activation manager but it is not. And the No License found window has a retry button that does nothing. Restarted my PC twice already. I donāt find the whole install and activation process that smooth.

WORKED OUT : Download and install from Download Manager
Donāt open Cubase
Instead open Activation Manager, activate thereā¦
Run Cubase, works.
Just weird that it didnāt activate from within Cubase, had to close it firstā¦
Anyway, cool freebie 
Ive tried all combinations of these processes, still does not show up. All the other freebies installed just fine, Colours, Verve, etcā¦ so I am stumped.
Iām also stuck here. Iāve installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled everything from the Steinberg Download Assistant. In the Activation Manager, the X-Stream is activated, but Iām still facing issues. Any suggestions on what I might be missing?
i had the same problem and tried and tried a variety of things. After about an hour of futzing around, I got it to work, only to be underwhelmed by the sounds of the presets. Mehā¦ Iām glad that I moved onto Ableton and Bitwig from Cubase, and limit my VST plugins to Arturia, u-He and Native Instruments products. They just work well without the Steinberg licensing hassles.
Had the same issue. You have to allow a bit of time for the licensing to roll through, THEN open DA and install from my products. If itās not there, close DA and wait a bit more. An install from VSTi will not be licenced.
