Cubase, like other Steinberg software, requires the use of a hardware copy protection called a USB-eLicenser. The first step after installing Cubase for the first time is to make sure your USB dongle is activated and has the proper license to run the software on your system. This is a one time step. First, make sure you've plugged in your USB-eLicenser into a free USB port. Next, download and install the latest eLicenser control center software. While you're at it, make sure you also have the latest version of Cubase installed in your system by going over to Steinberg.net.
When you first open the eLicenser software, it shows you a welcome screen with more information on how to download licenses and upgrade your software. Let's go ahead and close this for now.
Next, click on Perform Maintenance Tasks. I would suggest doing this when you open the software.
This updates any licenses in your dongle. Let's cancel for now, since we've done this already.
Next, go up to Enter Activation Code up here. Get up and running with the cutting-edge DAW Cubase 7 in this quick one-hour class. Author Pieter Schlosser shows how to use Cubase 7 to create your music, starting with the very first steps: setting up audio and VST connections, utilizing templates, and customizing your Cubase workspace. Then learn how to import audio, set your tempo, and create a click track and markers. The next chapter shows you how to record and edit audio tracks, including how to overdub and loop, as well as apply and edit fades and crossfades.

Then, Pieter moves into MIDI recording and editing, covering how to choose sounds, edit performances in the Piano Roll view, and use MIDI controller lanes to enhance the performance. He wraps up the course with a chapter on adding effects, creating aux sends, automating your mix, and exporting the final track.
Hi, this will maybe sound silly but I have to ask. Is there any way to emulate my own eLicenser? I am not asking someone else license, or an illegal license. I just want to know if it is possible to copy the whole data of the key and be able to use Cubase without this oversize stupid ass usb dongle.
Because hacker can use this software for free, without this oversize usb dongle, and honest customer who paid for it are penalize with this piece of shit hardware! It may sound like a no big deal for some of you, but for the way I use it, on the road, it is a real pain in the ass. I am always stressed out about loosing this dongle before an important work.and also for those who use a macbook pro with only 2 usb port, it really sucks to only have one port left either for the soundcard or for a midi controller. It would be great if Steinberg shrink down this hardware enough so I dont have to unplugged it to carry my laptop and incorporate a hub in it so I wont loose my usb port (Steinberg worker, if you read this, please take a note!). But until then, is there a way to emulate it? Thank you.
It throws up error messages although sometimes you can still save and close, re-insert the dongle and continue. A good tip is to get yourself a short USB extension cable.
That way the dongle is not a rigid thing sticking out of your port. Way harder to break, although still not ideal. Personally I don't know why they can't adopt the Propellerheads method. There's a hardware 'ignition key', but you can also authorize your computer as a key and you can use online activation.
Your username and password is enough to unlock the software. Of course you can only use one method at a time but it means you can work just about anywhere you have internet, and Reason 8 still hasn't been cracked yet. So what's Steinberg's excuse?!
