Is this count as a good news ? I'm not a Cubase user but I like few of their products.

 

dongle-free??? more like: r2r/VR releases of every version v: ahahaahh well, that would be if steinberg doesn't use the same system that refx uses

 

I'm almost certain they figured out something exactly like that.

 

Not particularly exciting. It is about the already announced licensing system that works without USB eLicenser, now it seems to be implemented. Interesting how this will affect the level of protection of future releases from Steinberg Software.

 

Probably a subscription model with online verification

 

you mean something like Presonus Sphere ?

 

I hope they will accept Paypal and not only Credit Card, like ReasonStudios - Reason+.

 

yeah, it's really sad bruh... the other great thing is that they will do something like presonus and give some hope for r2r releases

 

but they have a susbcription model... maybe it's something like login on your account and you will validate your license... like studio one does

 

where?

 

the monthly licensing way right?? a professor where i used to study, had that model and he had all the shit... well, unless the xx.5 version and the new releases, but that is something i guess (i think he paid less or something, i don't remember clearly)

 

Sadly this then probably replaces the soft-elicenser, which is great for using a load of other Steiny stuff, so that’s a bugger!

 

Yeah, hell would freeze before that. Apple effectively shut down multiplatform Logic when they bought Emagic back in the days. Yes, I'm still slightly bitter about that. And now they're focusing on their new platform, adding more disconnect to having it on Windows.

logic for windows won't be a reality... at least not for now (the last windows version, previously, was the 5.5 and it was like 15 years ago)

 

For me the dongle was never a problem because it worked so well, i actually prefer it over cloud and monthly subscriptions.
If this means you will be able to install pro on two machines then i welcome some changes.

 

please not a subscription ..

 

why you kept giving me ideas .... I have.. enough... DAW... I always liked reason's GUI but thought "nah Live is more than enough".. but now..

 

Steinberg have confirmed they are not interested in, and have no plans for, a subscription model.

I think they just want to expand the user base by getting all the illegals onboard, personally... :D
