I am soooo new to cubase and the fact that I am horrible with devices doesn't help at all...
I just installed cubase 7 but I've realised that I can't start my cubase if I don't have the USB-elicenser plugged into my laptop.
I have no idea if this is normal or not and I am desperate!! The only thing I've ever installed was Sibelius and it was much simpler than this. I am so sorry for sounding like a complete dummy but I really do need help from other experts.. :'( Please help me...
 
I did buy the 7 and i have the usb key but when i don't have the usb key plugged into my laptop, cubase won't start. idk if thats normal or not..
 
That is absolutely normal and what needs to be done. Cubase (the program) is basically free. You pay for the license which is stored on the dongle. You could install Cubase on any computer, but it won't work without the dongle plugged in.
 
Hello,

You have to look at the eLicenser like the key of a car, if you don't put it in Cubase will not start.
That applies for the eLicenser copy protected software: Cubase 7, Cubase Artist 7, WaveLab 8, etc...

Best regards,
GN

I gotta ask. Wouldn't it have been easier to experiment just a little and plug the dongle into your laptop than to have to search for forum, register then post a thread to ask a really basic question??? You already knew you needed to plug in the dongle.

I don't get it.

I did have the experiment but I wanted someone who is much more skilled to tell me that it was in fact normal for cubase to do that. Imagine the panic that went through my head to get me to search for forum, register and post a thread to ask the really basic question :P
