Steinberg Product Activation FAQ

[Ed Doll]

Hi all,
Depending on the program version available, there are different methods on how to register, activate and maybe even download it in the first place.
Please read the knowledge base article that provides an overview on the different code types like activation codes and download access codes, the registration process and eLicensers.
It also features a video link that explains the processes in detail.

Hi,
I think I made everything correctly but couldn't activate. Here is the error message that I am receiving when I run eLicenser Control:

Currently, there is no eLicenser connected to your computer which you can download your license to. Please connect an appropriate USB-eLicenser to your computer. In case you do not have any USB-eLicensers available and want to download the license to a so-called "Soft-eLicenser", please contact the software vendor of your product, to learn how to create a Soft-eLicenser on your computer system.

I obviously do not have USB-eLicenser as I bought the WaveLab LE without the USB-eLicenser. Do I need to buy USB-eLicensers separately to run the software?

[Ed Doll]

Hi! No, you don't have to buy a USB-eLicenser to work with WaveLab LE. Without any details on your system, which bundle you bought WaveLab LE with, the version of the eLicenser Control Center and whether the eLicenser Control Center is just empty, I won't be able to help much.

Hi,
I bought Olympus LS-P4 recorder as a bundle with WaveLab LE 9. Yes, eLicenser Controls center is just empty. It is 6.11.10.2260.
Thanks for helping.

[Ed Doll]

Okay, and which operating system are you working on?

[Jaro1]

I am using MacOS Catalina, the latest.

This article may help but keep in mind that WaveLab LE 9 is not officially compatible with macOS Catalina.
