Nuendo + NEK should be able to open the Cubase Pro app.

Sorry for being unclear; I was referring to getting rid of the NEK, not giving Nuendo users a “free” Cubase Pro license. That said however:

The first is speculation, and if the license given is essentially one license that opens both - meaning the user can have open only either Cubase or Nuendo - I’m wondering if it’d be an issue. If I granted a license my primary concern would be how many instances would run at any given time, and if it would still be 1 then no big deal, increased sales aside.

The second isn’t negated by allowing Nuendo users to open Cubase.
