Cubase 6.5 & Cubase Artist 6.5 Grace Period update
All customers who have activated Cubase 6 or Cubase Artist 6 on January 1, 2012, or later, are eligible to obtain a free Grace Period update to version 6.5.*
Please note: Cubase is activated as soon as you have entered your activation code within the eLicenser Control Center (eLCC). (The license is then saved on your USB-eLicenser.) Please note that the date of activation is the determining factor — not the date of purchase or the registration date.
