Im currently workig, but will answer later.
At least the official Cubase 12 installation contains the installer for the activation manager (the new auth system that replaces the eLicenser)
I'll check tonight if there is another way to install it

 

Hi you can download it from here :
https://o.steinberg.net/en/support/content_and_accessories/steinberg_activation_manager.html

 

As @kargozarmj (thank you!) says, download it there and install ist after you deinstalled the previeous version and cleaned the registry (as admin for the right to do so)
I hope it helps.

 

R2R releases do not require activation manager.

Nobody said that. @funkman wants to restore his legit Cubase 11 version that partly no longer works.
To understand it you need to go back a few psosts

 

i have uninstalled the r2r cubase 12
should i reinstall the r2r cubase 12 before installingactivation manager?

 

No I won't do that.

Let's use PM for this one...

 

Cubase 11 is on eLicenser, activation manager won't work for it

activation manager,when i click on install i get the please wait splash screen then it dissapears,i have waited 20 mins and nothing happened

 

What do you expect to happen, after the above post I understand that you want to install Cubase 11, this is with eLicenser and not with the activation manager.

 

Install R2R releases and you will have no problems.

 

r2r method works with :

-WaveLab_Pro_11.1.10_Installer_win
-Dorico_4.2_Installer_win
-SpectraLayers_9.0.10_Installer_win
-Cubase_12.0.40_Installer_win
-Nuendo_12.0.40_Installer_win
-VST_Live_1.0.31_Installer_win

if dont works....

Copy ( license.engine.access.dll) from the team r2r folder inside the activation manager folder.

What is the path for the activation manager folder?
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Activation Manager

If when you run Cubase 12, everything else has no sound, here's the solution...

Hi Everyone,

New here! I get R2R version of Cubase 12, installed it with some trouble but get well with advices from here (thank you very much BEAT16).

So I deleted all the files it required to delete but i still got an error which is "WaveLab LE 8 caused following error: No anti-copy stick is plug."
(I translated it cause i'm french)

First of all, I don't remember i ever installed this one. I had Cubase LE 5 and FL Studio 20 that i deleted before to install R2R C12, I also installed Heat Up 3, Massive and Kontakt with some Libraries which i kept for R2R C12.
I eventually installed R2R Wavelab 11 to try to erase Wavelab LE 8, which of course, didn't work... The trouble seems to come from VST Libraries but i didn't find any files related to it in my computer.... After like 8 hours, I'm asking you some help, please...

If you need further informations, don't hesitate, i may have forgot something important ?

 

@Mace13

Did you clean the registers?

Hi !
Thank you for the answer !

I made this part:

Then this part:

In this two parts, i didn't found any files (i've also put "show hidden files" options) so i think it's okay... BTW, i never installed Steinberg Activation manager...

For the Registers, i found this message :

In this part, i found and delete this one : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\AppID\{45BA127D-10A8-46EA-8AB7-56EA9078943C}
I don't remember if other was there too but if yes, i delete everything...

I followed the R2R.txt too and got the Synsoacc.dll error when opening C12. I eventually install latest version of e-Licencer as BEAT16 said and it worked for Synsoacc.dll error, but now this is the WaveLab LE8 error which appear now...
Also, I tried re-installing everything from the beginning but the same Wavelab error still appears.

Sorry for that long reply but if it can make you guys buying some time, then i think it's the right thing to do =)
Do you think there's something i'm missing ?

Thank you again for help !

 

@Mace13
C12 and WL11 does not need e-Licencer, try installing
Steinberg Cubase Pro 12 v12.0.40-R2R
Steinberg WaveLab 11 Pro v11.1.10-R2R
Read R2R.txt carefully

 

I have not installed Wavelab, so the help is a little bit smaller.

Hello, uninstall Wavelab first. There are still old files left over from Wave LE, they have to be deleted first.

c:\Program Files\Steinberg
c:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg
c:\ProgramData\Steinberg
c:\Users%username%\Documents\Steinberg
c:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Steinberg
c:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\

Enclosed 2 links for information. Then you should look in the registry if there are still old Wavelab files.
You can also use the free CCleaner and then please restart the PC last. After the restart you can install Wavelab.
