![]() Technically, they’ve been in violation of licensing previously. Seen it on this forum in the past week where people are wondering how the new licensing is going to work with their current method of ‘sharing’ the dongle between machines and users. So people will and always have made ‘copies’ of legal licenses in such manners, users who are desperate for offline use ‘for security reasons’ no doubt carries a percentage of who are bypassing licensing terms in such ways. People were cheating with the current dongle, as you can register one as stolen and then use it in an offline machine. If we want a flexible system then it falls on us to morally adhere to the terms - or such benefits will have to be removed, sadly. There’s loopholes wherever you want to seek them out. Likewise you could just activate a friends machine with the new C12 system too. You’re basically asking the question as to why someone wouldn’t adhere to software license terms? I mean, let’s be honest, if you’re talking about offline machines you could activate C12 on the new licensing, take the machine offline and then contact Steinberg to have the license deactivated as the machine had failed. ![]() This means that accepting the terms of the license you cant be distributing it to another person, as it’s tied to your C12 update and licensed to you as an individual. If you update to C12, Your current C11 is supplied back to yourself as NFR. As a Cubase owner you get all previous versions as part of your license, so you’ll lose that ability. If you ever needed to open an old project in a legacy version of Cubase, the new license will only support C12 onwards. Does Steinberg get Money for my friend producing music with a legal Cubase 11 license on a dongle? I don’t need it. I give me dongle to my friend - He can produce music. That doesn’t mean its a free for all and everybodies friend now gets a free Cubase 11 license cause we can give the dongle away after it comes out.Įxample: So My Cubase 12 will run - I will produce music. You do not own two separate licenses, you own ONE Cubase license, you simply have the ability to run the older version because they’ve changed the copy protection in 12 and haven’t deactivated the elicenser yet. Giving away your license to 11, forfeits your upgrade to 12, unless Steinberg all of a sudden decided to have the most generous upgrade policy ever. Which means you cannot give away your license to 11 regardless of how it is stored, or what you think your license is actually tied to. Your upgrade to 12 was dependent on you owning a license for 11. Sorry but that dongle IS tied to a person regardless of what you think. All of your download activation codes are tied to YOUR Steinberg account. The Steinberg Download Assistant makes you sign into YOUR account. The elicenser software has you sign in to YOUR Steinberg account. And that dongle requires it to be registered under YOUR Steinberg account.
