It still works in Cubase 14, BUT when I first ran '15 today, the Cubase Activation Manager popped up and went 'not responding'. It happened twice so I ran the VR Activation Manager and all seemed good until there's absolutely no midi input apart from my CS12.

I've checked the Studio Midi settings and all relevant entries show as being active. I should give it a reboot, but I wanted to know if any over are experiencing the same issue. Not only that, but I can't help wondering if SB is on my case.

Cheers

PS. A reboot made no difference, so I'm reinstalling.
PS2. That made no difference. I suppose I should run it without the preferences and see if that helps.
PS3. Starting in safe mode made no difference. Could this be a time bomb? It's Boxing Day here in Australia, so I look forward to hearing from you on your BD.

I found a while back that the V.R. unlocker scheme seems to diminish capacity in direct relation to the amount of Steinberg apps installed using the unlocker. Two maybe three programs doesn't seem to cause a lot of issues, but any more than that and things start to get dicey. I experienced similar "licensing" issues with V.R. a while back, and at that time proceeded to remove all Steinberg/V.R. stuff from the system using revo and then ultra-search. Then, installed the R2R cert with the SILK emulator and have never had issues since. I now have even more SB stuff running than ever before. No more licensing issues. Not saying this is your issue de facto, but I experienced similar issues to yours with V.R. before going to R2R's scheme.
