hello guys, i kinda found a way to avoid the shady version of cubase from the sister site. this is what has to be done:

- go to steinberg web page and download the download assistant

- download from here: [i can't post warez links, so dm for the link] the crack folder and the soft elicenser (aka antitrial).

- install the steinberg's assistant and install just cubase (it will include everything, even the elicenser software and library manager)

- once the previous is done, don't run cubase. go to the downloaded things from the magnet and install the antitrial and let that finish.

-oncer the previous is finished, go to the crack folder and copy ''cubase11.exe'' to the folder where cubase is installed and, from vst3, copy the both loopsmash plugins to the respective vst3 folder on the cubase path. (those vsts can be the ones to make some kind of trouble because of missing license)

with that, you should have cubase 11 pro working without any kind of major problem

can be actually, another user was testing out and he hadn't any proble... which was surprising

 

i tried that and didn't work (at least for me. then a replaced the cubase11.exe and it did work and the rest is what i put on the other comment)

 

1. the shady one has the elements installer if i'm not wrong
2. that can vary I think: for example, the protools 12.5 that we know also has the modified binary file to check on the pace software and allow it i guess

 

Unlike the other licenses, Cubase trial isn't based on softlicense but rather hardware one. The attempt to crack Cubase by certain group was to essentially add in all the features from Cubase Pro to the Elements version which uses the soft-elicenser. But I believe there was another effort to instead crack the hardware elicenser too, which didn't work out.

That being said, since apparently the issues are rather similar between the two releases, I'm starting to think that it's all based on the idea of turning elements version equivalent to pro version. Or something like that.

Either way, no matter what, there should still be no version that actually is Cubase Pro without any major problems. You'll see that you either get major instability or the PDC algorithm isn't working correctly.

 

if you dm me, i can give you the link to you to try. also i point it out about the steinberg downloader or, basically the entire thing, because that was what i did. and as an update, the user i told you before, told that he had no major issue for what he was using it, even one plugin worked way better with this, instead of the shady version

 

ArticStorm: Unless you're doing it on purpose you always seem to misspell the word trial, you always write trail instead. No biggie but I thought you might like to know.

 

@Ariel Gonzalez, I wanted to give a try and I was nicely surprised.
Here are my steps (on a VM running Win 10 64b)
Internet On
-From steinberg site download and install Download Assistant
-Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 and restart
-As mentioned in the install.txt, install in this order, eLicenserControl, Library Manager and Generic Low Latency ASIO driver
-Install cubase pro 11 installer.exe without starting the application
-Run the antitrial (soft elicenser) and wait for completion (~10mn in my case)
-Copy content from crack folder to cubase 11 folder (cubase 11.exe is updated with a new file)
Internet Off
-Start cubase 11 Pro
I was able to load all the default templates (16 mono/8 stereo, 24 mono/12 stereo, 48 mono/24 stereo, etc..) with no issue. I just did some basic tests for now.
Next steps are to load some VST plugins and try to play a project with multiple audio tracks.
Not sure if DC is still an issue but thanks for the instructions

 

Steinberg is going dongle free...

 

amazing man. but i'm not sure if the ''dc'' version should appear because you are using a legit installer. also, you can avoid installing the elicenser (my bad, but with the legit one, everything is included), just run the antitrial after the installer ends. and from the crack folder can be variable but the files i mentioned can cause some trouble. anyway, if you can make updates on how cubase runs, that would be awesome

 

they can switch to a system similar to the one used by refx and that is bad for all of us, because it will be difficult to crack

 

bump

 

theres a vr one where it uses a legit dongle to exploit without all this shady or crashing BS. i just havent seen anyone's experience using that one (crack where you install fake license, plug in a REAL e-licenser, then plug out or something).

unfortunately, I have real cubase and products so I i'm not gonna use my elicenser for that. id have to buy another usb dongle and also install on another machine to try it out, not worth it since i own it lol

 

I rmemebr someone made a post saying the RND prtico trial was unlimited after using the VR trial last year so I guess you're probably right

 

like fake licensing? interesting. if it's not worthy for you, don't try it bro. avoid any problem

 

@Ariel Gonzalez, I was able to load and play a song having 91 audio tracks assigned to different Wave plugins and FabFilter plugins (not installed in my VM). I got only once a warning message, when I close cubase and restart it right away (after 1s or 2s) where the message says: "cubase has stopped abnormally, please submit a report to Steinberg...." and I reply no. Otherwise working fine when playing my old projects.
Let me clarify: I have not created a project from scratch, so I cannot really confirm, it could happen that this version is not as stable as the legit one. I need more tests.
From Download assistant, I installed Halion sonic SE 3 + 2 vstsounds. I had to double-click on the vstsounds to get them installed in the library manager, otherwise no sound is generated from Halion.
Is it safe to be connected as you need to sign in to be able to download everything from download manager? I mean steinberg could block your account if they realize you download stuff and have not requested a license for that?
and can we trust the "cubase11.exe" from the crack folder that we use to start cubase. No timebomb or any hidden malware code executed in background? what is the status from the other tester? Thanks

 

good. i'm not sure if this is really stable. about the message when you closed the program, i think it may be normal because the system force it to close if the thing is not reacting properly.

i'm not sure about vsts, but maybe it should be replaced too.... but i'm not sure. and after download cubase, you can uninstall the download assistant because it was used and isn't neccesarly anymore.

as i pointed on the previous comment, i'm not sure. at least here it should be more reliable considering that the shady one was the elements patched, if i'm not wrong... but outside of the mentioned, that ''.exe '' is the only element you replace from the legit software (besides the ones i mentioned on the original post) and it's main thing is recongnize the elicenser program)
