Steinberg just posted this on their twitter...is this it then...is this when they get rid of the dongle?

 

Wonder if that means we will have to reauthorize everything? If so I think their server will be down for a lot longer

 

I wonder how long it will be until someone on the sister sites cracks it?

 

24 hours doesn't seem like a lot of time to switch to a whole new form of authorization/activation.
Sounds more like some sort of maintenance.

 

I think they will go to new licensing system, but not in the day after tomorrow but rather make a slow transition. Because of that they had that ,mega sale of Cubase and Nuendo to get more money :D I have read their TWITS lately and i guess elicenser will still work, but they will remove big apps from the dongle, and rewrite from a ground up a new soft eLicenser.

 

When they say access system, it makes me think of the e-licensing

 

Steinberg knows for quite some time what is about to happen soon... R2R releases whole Steinberg product line.
My guess is that's why they annouced to ditch the dongle some months ago.

:D

 

Yes , since we can see that license for Cubase Elements 12 is on soft elicenser. They are about to release and Absolute 5 Collection , i mean you can see that Team V.R providied us with all that licenses. Only person now who can tell to us what is happening is Team V.R because only he found the way to decrypt licenses from license database....

 

BUT: V.R fake e-licenser never worked out 100% (it was a good attempt/trick however). That's where R2R will step in soon with thier 10.000th release :D

 

I'm pretty sure it's being done to avoid the licensing fiasco they experienced with Cubase 11.

 

i don't think r2r will crack cubase as their 10000th because it has been done before. i would say that they will come out with protools or something like that (considering that they fucked up the ilok system with the big wave)

 

For me worked every time, only thing you have to to to get it all working , it to disable defender or other AV or install some good AV like Kaspersky, because all other were deleting necessary files to decrypt he licenses. I am talking about eLicense generator, and old fake Soft eLicenser. It was that legit, that you could transfer all your licenses to a dongle.
Now that is not possible anymore because Steinberg immediately blacklist dongle and you get disabled dongle but with "legit" licenses.
I have done that many times and with couple of dongles , with all licenses to avoid any files to install on my system.

 

Up to this very day, there is absolutely NO truely working crack of the Steinberg Syncrosoft-Dongle'ed products out yet. Yes there have been a few releases , but all proven to be unstable and thus useable in a pro situation.

 

I think you guys misunderstood their message.
It’s just changing servers, nothing more

 

Actually, Team Air/Gouda (in)famously did it for Cubase 5.1, by creating a fully reverse-enginered software dongle emulator - an incredible technical achievement which worked absolutely flawlessly and, for me, set a the gold standard that imho is yet to be surpsassed...

If R2R could also do this, they truly could lay claim to be the most accomplished audio crack crew ever.

 

Yep! The georgeoous Team AiR! R2R will pass that level if they make a legit license generator, like TeamAiR have done for softelicenser !

 

For sure, but that most be done for purpose of changing license system, in other words to ditch the dongle, as they have said in April or earlier...

 

Ok, let's assume that all the written above is correct and R2R made it and after more than a decade, Cubase is finally cracked. When is your estimation for them to release it?

 

I think R2R have done that already, long time ago when Autotune and codemeter was defeated, because in that release if am not wrong, they have comparing protections which can be cracked and how and which not. That was the first time they don't have said, that they cant defeat MCFact, the very first time in their nfo's. In all their previous releases they have been said in all their info\s so users cant expect them to do MCFact, for exampl,e when they have released some Cubase plugins.
And until now, somehow the kept that release internal, because or probably to test it on newer versions, we weren't in a rush , because we already had a decent version of Cubase, Team VR have provided us with keygens, so maybe that info leaked and that was the trigger to Steinberg to gave up and ditch the dongle, because R2R is unbeatable, they have proven that many times, and codemeter was that just beginning !

I can make a whole movie on this subject :D


AutoTune 9 nfo

Q: I want to know about WIBU. What's the technical difference from others?
A: eLicenser - McFACT is a main protection. McFACT is crypto that runs
encrypted without decryption. Some minor apps don't use McFACT
and easy to bypass the license check. Well, those most wanted
targets use McFACT.
PACE/iLok - WrapWarden (packer, PE protector) and Eden/Fusion (custom
API). Anti-Tampering is optional, provided by MetaFortress
(Verimatrix.Inc).
WIBU - AxProtector (packer, PE protector) and IxProtector (code
encryptor, integrated to AxProtector). CoreAPI (custom API,
you can choose to link with AxProtector or link with DLL).

Well I personally think that R2R wanna make an apps full functional and updatable, maybe that was the reason we had to wait, just to be sure everything is okey.
Those things, like new approaches will make new a history.
I mean, I deeply respect Team VR for making all Steinberg releases available and FULL functional, with his cracking method , 2 yrs now.
You could update any desired application, he destroyed the eLicenser with very expensive programs, I give him a big credits for that.
So now you can imagine what is R2R have to do to be THE GREATEST in that area! It is a huge challenge!

We are "waiting" Cubase 12 to be released, I guess, because Steinberg will no longer change their protection system.
