Hello robw,
Are you on a PC or on a Mac?
What version of the SKI remote did you installed?
It seems that the SKI remote and the eLicenser Control Center thinks that you have the Android version installed, therefore it searches the license making Cubase hang when loading the SKI.
I am guessing that now that the Demo license has expired the eLicenser Control Center has finally realised that you have the iOS version of IC Pro and therefore you don’t require a separate license.
It is not very clear at this point what is causing this, so any information you could provide is welcome.
Best regards,
GN
