I am now being told by the download assistant that it can't open the elicenser and that I must have the newest version installed, which I do because the download assistant installed the elicenser itself when I reinstalled everything. I looked online for about 3 hours for a solution and it feels as though I have tried everything.įirst, I made sure that I had the newest version of the elicenser, then I tried running the elicenser as an administrator straight from the containing folder and finally I tried reinstalling everything to see if that would help. It begins to carry out maintenance and after about 5 seconds it tells me that my 'soft-elicenser' is deactivated and I need to get in touch with my software vendor. However, there was a problem with my elicenser and it states that it would like to do some maintenance to sort any issues. I said yes to activation and the assistant opened up my elicenser. It then asked me if I wanted to activate my products. Then I received my download codes and was instructed to get the Steinberg download assistant and elicenser (the newest version, as was made abundantly clear by everyone and their mums in forums), which I did.Īfter I had installed both the download assistant and the elicenser I opened up the assistant and put in my download code for Cubase 11 Elements and it showed up in the redeemed section. I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on the situation.įirst, I purchased Cubase Elements 11 directly from the Steinberg website. I don't know if I've made a mistake (I don't see how I could have considering I followed the recommended steps) so I'm not about to start ranting about how it's Steinberg's fault. As you may have read in the title, installing Cubase 11 has been horrendous.
