USB copy protection key for Steinberg software licenses and compatible products
The USB-eLicenser (formerly "Steinberg Key") is a copy protection unit (sometimes called "dongle") which is needed to use Steinberg's software range. With the host applications Cubase, Nuendo and WaveLab, the USB-eLicenser is already included in the product package. The USB-eLicenser is also required to run Steinberg VST instruments, but is not included in the product boxes and must be purchased separately if no USB-eLicenser/Steinberg Key isn´t already present on the system. An eLicenser can store many licenses.
USB-eLicenser included*:
- Cubase Pro
- Cubase Artist
- Nuendo
- WaveLab
USB-eLicenser not included:
- HALion 4
- HALion Sonic
- The Grand 3
- Nuendo Live
- Yamaha Vintage Collection
- RND Portico PlugIns

* Oktober 2017: This applies only for the full boxed version of the product, as updates and downloads do not contain a Steinberg eLicenser in general.
The Dongle does not include any software license!
The system requirements can be found in the product description or on the manufacturer's website.
Required Registration:
Steinberg products require you to register with the manufacturer at www.steinberg.net to activate your license.
