The latest version of the eLicenser Control installer that can be installed on Windows XP is the archived eLC version 6.7.1.8151 (http://www.elicenser.net/en/download_archives.html).
This version installs an outdated “eLicenser License Database”, the version that was current at the time the archived installer was created. This outdated eLicenser License Database version will not work correctly with the new Cubase 8.5 license.
So you will need to update the eLicenser License Database on your Windows XP system; the easiest way to accomplish this is to use eLCC’s “Update eLicenser License Database” action, but this requires an active Internet connection.
The only way to update the eLicenser License Database without an Internet connection would be to manually copy the respective files from one computer to another.
So you could download and install the very latest eLicenser Control installer on any compatible machine, then manually copy the installed eLicenser License Database files over to your offline Windows XP machine.
- On Windows 10, the eLicenser License Database files are located in the invisible “ProgramData\eLicenser\eLD” folder.
- On Windows XP, the eLicenser License Database files are located in the invisible “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\eLicenser\eLD” folder.
