Steinberg shop won't let me buy them

The Steinberg webshop dumps my cart upon confirming my info to purchase saying:

"An error has occured.

A product has been removed from your cart. This may be because:

  1. The product is not available in your country.
    or

  2. It is an educational product, for the purchase of which you need to be approved by Steinberg."

I live in USA. Do I have to buy them from a US dealer?

Was able to talk to Asknet AG and they said the shop wasn’t properly configured to take the order. Said they’ll fix it on Monday.

Glad I have two weeks left on my demo. Love these plugs!

Hi JFB,

I’m sorry for the problems with the Online Shop. This should really be only temporary.

Thanks,
Timo

Hi Timo-

I tried again and it still doesn’t work for U.S. customers. I talked to Asknet again and this time was told that Steinberg has to fix the webshop to make it possible for U.S. customers to buy.

I hope they can fix this before my demo runs out on Aug 9th.

Serious bummer! Sounds like a good candidate for a freebie - after all, if they will not take your money…
