Can anyone tell me how on earth Im supposed to install X-Stream into cubase (13 pro) ?
Ive installed it twice from the download manager, even rebooted my system and its nowhere to be found. Someone suggested that it had to be downloaded directly from steinbergs website, the link always takes you to a link to download the download manager ! I also have the latest version of Halion installed (7.1.0) Why cant this process be straightforward ?
Did you activate it in your Activation Manager?
It wasnt activated in activation manager, but neither were several other instruments that ARE avaliable in halion (Zaria for instance). Anyway, I activated everything then restarted Cubase, and it crashed, reporting a problem with VST connect ! I tried it several times, same problem, so I rebooted my machine and the error went away but STILL X-Stream isnt available
Does it show up as installed in the Steinberg Library Manager? You can also use it to check where it has been installed.
Its not in the library manager and now In getting an error stating
āSteinberg License engine is not respondingā
Ive shut my pc down and restarted, still the same. Cuabse work OK though so that license check must be working. Any update/install process with Steinberg is bloody frustrating, these sort of issues arent a one off. Ive now had to register a suppot ticket with Steinberg, so thats at least a week or more before I get any sort of reply
Iām having the same issue.
Hi, is anyone else having issues with this install? I am getting the same problems I had with GA a few months ago. Using the VST in a DAW shows everything is red and unavailable. Using it standalone is seems to be fine. I tried to de-activate, -re-install, and re-activate. The install of X-stream generates other errors for other Halion instruments.
Iām having the same issue too. X-Stream shows up in the Download assistant as installed. ( I have reinstalled 3 times). But doesnāt show up in the Activation Manager. The Instrument loads in Cubase 13 pro. But none of the sounds are available. They all have a small āno entryā style icon by them. If I double click on a sound I get a message that there is no valid license!
OKā¦ I have solved the issue for meā¦ (Windows-Cubase13 pro)
- Download and re-install a new version of Download Assistant.
- Open Download Assistant and expand the āMy Product Downloadā window. Not the āVST Instruments & Pluginsā window.
- X-Stream still shows up with the green tick as installed. Re-install X-Stream. (Install Again).
- (To check). Open the Activation Manager and X-stream should now show up there.
- Load Cubase and HALION 7.1 of your choice and X-stream. All my sounds are now available.
This worked for me, so I hope that it works for everyone else too.
Happy music makingā¦
I tried that but it made no difference, X-Stream is showing up as installed and activated but its still not available in Halion. I also get a weird error with vst connect when I load up cubase after running the activation manager. I guess Ill have to wait for Steinberg to get back to me

my x-stream install is still hosed. is this compatible with mac silicon?
I have nothing but problems with Steinberg products!
***** Have this same issue and a few others****
X-Stream no show, no download link, nothing anywhere! WTH!?
All I see is activated.
Why do you need a website and 5 different auth, install and bs managers?
Bloatware.
Disappointing how bad this company has gotten.

quick update. Loaded up download manager again and I had a fresh option to download and install X-Stream (despite the fact I had downloaded and installed it 4 previous times)
I had also decided to delete all the contents of the download area for download manager, in my case
F:\Downloads\Steinberg\WIN64
I reinstalled X-Stream and its now showing up in Halion ! I donāt know whether Steinberg had done something or it was because Id deleted the contents of the downloads folder, either way, its up and running now

Very embarrassing! Seems that a lot of Users canāt play with X-Stream and there is no solution for the problem?
Per usual. You and everyone else is correct.
They should add another fix-it app to connect to website, email , and the four other apps to make their crap work.
That will make 7 things that make no sense and are absolute useless and make nobody more productive nor creative. . . Lucky 7ās~
Just keep cramming in more crap to get folks to use their crap for free as a promo to see how great they areā¦
āReal men of geniusā¦ Letās ruin our reputation by offering freestuff that donāt work music software developers. . .ā
The answer is REAPER 7 updated 1-4xās a month by four developers with all 40k free scripts that work. Never fails.
Good luck!
