Yes, you’re right. I’m getting this randomly now & not like what I’ve experienced before with Steinberg sw updates /eLicenser. As per earlier advice, the fix has always been to reinstall /update to the latest eLicenser. Not this time. The N10 update seems to have a number of bugs in relation to recognising auths, & in my case, relating to other Steinberg apps (Absolute 4, expansions, Wavelab etc).
Sometimes N10 launches fine, other times is quite mad in displaying any number of different eLicenser errors. For now, the only sense I can make of this is that this would appear related to opening ‘some’ older projects using those other Steinberg apps. Some may have been created with Cubase. Comes and goes; sometimes those same projects will open without the longwinded warnings. I too have clean installed the latest eLicenser several times now.
