But as we move forward, more and more features will be introduced. Steinberg Licensing will be a work in progress for a while and, at first, features will be restricted. As new versions of other products are released, they will use the new system, too.Īs with all new technology, the full potential will gradually unfold. I can also tell you that Cubase 12 has been moved to 2022, allowing it to be the next software after Dorico to harness the potential of the new system. You will soon be introduced to Steinberg Licensing, with the release of Dorico 4 early next year. But bear in mind you will only be able to access the new services offered by Steinberg Licensing with the new system. This means you will be able to continue using your eLicenser dongle. It is important to point out that, for a certain period, both licensing systems will run side-by-side. Over time, Steinberg Licensing will be the key to unlocking enhanced opportunities and greater convenience in different areas, both within and beyond the world of Steinberg.ĮLicenser technology has played a significant role for a very long time with Steinberg customers and transitioning to a new system has and will continue to entail a big effort on our part. That experience includes sophisticated tools for creating music, premium content to work with, and various useful services that bring our global community together. Steinberg Licensing is a big step forward, a huge milestone in further developing our vision to bring to you the best user experience. But, in the way of all good surprises, this one brings new benefits and has inspired us to look at things in fresh, innovative ways. While this announcement might not be news to all of you, I'm sure it comes as quite a surprise to many. Earlier this year we announced our intention to migrate to a new ID-based licensing system - Steinberg Licensing - and I can now confirm that we will begin to roll it out early next year. I am writing today because I want you to be the first to know about the start of the transition to a new method of Steinberg product licensing. What’s more, we’re now offering ViennaKeys at a substantial discount, and we’ll include a free €20 voucher with every ViennaKey order in our web shop.Ī NEW AND EXCITING ERA BEGINS AT STEINBERG Before you ask, at this time we don’t know when exactly we’ll be able to start moving licenses to the iLok platform, but you’ll be the first to know as we move along in the process. We’ll be able to provide more information later this year. You will NOT be asked to return or delete any of your existing licenses on the eLicenser. Steinberg will keep the eLicenser license server available as long as possible, so you’ll be able to move licenses between eLicenser USB keys and will receive replacement licenses in case of damage, theft or loss of your eLicenser key (for free if you have a valid Vienna Protection Plan) well beyond the time when the iLok system is already available to you.įor every registered product in your VSL account, you will receive an iLok license. Once the project has been saved again, the eLicenser will no longer be required.ĬONTINUED SERVICE: You’ll be able to continue to use the ViennaKey/eLicenser USB key as well as the eLicenser Control Center for as long as it is working on your computers’ operating systems. To make the entire migration as easy and hassle-free for our customers (and for us -), here are a few key facts we’d like to share that early in the process:įREE TRANSITION: Moving your licenses from the eLicenser to the iLok platform will be free of charge for you.ĬHOICE OF KEY OR CLOUD: You will be able to choose if you’d like to store your VSL licenses on the iLok hardware key or in the iLok Cloud without using a hardware key.ĬOMPATIBILITY: Under the iLok system, you will still be able to open existing projects as long as the eLicenser is connected. This will take some time, but we’d like to let you know as early as possible that many new options in license handling will be available to our customers in the future, and that the entire process of purchasing and activating products will be streamlined and improved. Thus we’re currently preparing the transition of all of our products to PACE’s iLok license management solution. It is my pleasure to announce that we’re starting to prepare the move to a new license management platform.ĮLicenser has served us well during many years, but we’re also well aware of some limitations of the platform that we want to overcome for our customers and for us. ![]()
