Sim situation, soft elicence # won’t jive and I got an “activation code” sent immediately from Steinberg and that didn’t work either.I could not go any further and the activation failed.There are contact options ,I’m using a Zoom R24 also had Cubase bundled and never went to use it till today and no go. I am phoning them tomorrow, there are support options, but they end January 5 2015 for CUBASE LE5.fyi
Goodluck.
