USB eLicenser (Steinberg key)
Access to professional audio software from Steinberg , among others
The USB eLicenser – also called a Steinberg Key or dongle – is a copy protection unit required by most Steinberg software products. It is included in the box versions of our host applications Cubase Pro, Cubase Artist, Nuendo and WaveLab Pro. In addition to the host applications, many Steinberg VST instruments also require the USB-eLicenser. However, the dongle is not included in the product boxes of VST instruments and must be purchased separately if a USB eLicenser is not already in use.
The USB-eLicenser plugs into your computer’s USB port and can store multiple Steinberg product licenses thanks to the Steinberg copy protection system. You can also transfer licenses between USB eLicensers, with certain restrictions.
