more than a second license (quite expensive!), I would recommend to have a spare empty USB-eLicenser.
Besides the 25-hours license, which is good for 3 eight-hours working days, you can request a 30-days trial code without having to wait to have someone to reply your support enquiry.

Recommending customers purchase two dongles to use Cubase in an interesting solution, albeit (IMO) an unrealistic one in that itās something most customers will probably donāt think theyāll need to do, as highlighted by the OPās situation.
Iām not arguing Cubase should eliminate copy-protection, only that this instance highlights how the dongle installation scheme Steinberg employs places an unnecessary burden on their paying customers, and at a time when much more modern and efficient means of copy protection are readily available.
You donāt need to buy a second dongle, just make sure you donāt lose or break the one you have.
I donāt find the dongle scheme a burden and prefer it any of the other copy protection methods. With the dongle I donāt even have to remember any serial numbers or activation codes just make sure I look after my dongle and whenever I install software itās ready to go.
Why donāt you elaborate what more modern and efficient solutions to copy protection there are?
You bought into the system and then you expect to change it ? Except it for what it is as there are a lot of people happy with the Steinberg system including me .
Steinberg have already said that they have no plans on changing the licencing procedure so I would get used to it if I was you or ā¦there are plenty more fish in the sea if your not happy
Hi!
Iām from Ukraine.
Today Iāve lost my USB eLicesnser with Cubase 7 EE license.
Local distributor (Jazz Club) recommend me to resolve this problenm in my steinberg account.
But when I try to āRequest supportā i got the message :
Yes you must of seen the comment on GS about it but there is also a thread on here stating after that comment was made there is no plans to change the eliencer system in the foreseeable future .
Love the ājokestersā here making fun of someoneās unfortunate circumstance (which could of course had been avoided if Steinberg had a modern, internet-based registration system in place).
MaxNRG, you should attempt to get ahold of Steinberg support directly.
Anyone have an alternate email address for MaxNRG to try?

In that case Iāll get a software only key for my house and car? Having keys for those is an intolerable burden. If I donāt clap my hands they donāt know where they are.
If a situation depends on the dongle being present for income, one would think that a user would logically protect such a delicate situation, an extra dongle seems perfectly in line with that sort of thinking. I mean, if it really carries that much weight.
There is no more āunnecessary burden on their paying customersā. Itās no different than any other USB device.
What if your Internet provider is having problems? When it comes down to it, there just isnāt a perfect solution. Sure, there are alternate solutions, but they all have proās and conās. Steinberg chose the eLicenser route. You know this when purchasing Cubase.
