![]() ![]() ![]() I’m no fan of this licensing system, as my dozens of posts on the topic over the years have made clear, but unfortunately this is the system we have at the moment. Please do note that although you can use the ‘Reactivation’ workflow to move your valid Soft-eLicenser from one computer to another, and that this does not deactivate or remove the licenses from your old computer, with the current licensing scheme, only one Soft-eLicenser is considered to contain your current license, and the update activation code you have purchased is a single-user activation code that will only update a single installed Dorico 3 license. If you need a time-limited license to run Dorico 3.5 on your desktop, then please send me a private message and I’ll send you one. You should be in the situation where you can run Dorico 3.5 on your laptop and Dorico 3.1 on your desktop, since having reactivated on your laptop, that doesn’t deactivate the license on your old computer, but only one Soft-eLicenser can be the current one and the one that MySteinberg expects you to be updating. If I were you, I would hold fire on buying a USB-eLicenser and wait to hear back from support. However, for the time being (and we know it’s going to change in due course), that’s how it is. It’s convenient, and I agree that the dongles feel more like a punishment to the loyal consumer. If you happened to be using Dorico in two machines with one license with a Soft-eLicenser, however you did to end up with that setup, you were using the software beyond what the license legally allows. So, (and this is obviously not aimed at you pianoleo, and at the risk of joining the grump-squad…) having just spend £50 on an unexpected upgrade (while on 0 income) I apparently now have to spend another £19 on an unwanted piece of hardware just to do what I’ve been doing quite happily for the last two years… Not particularly pleased with that! Hi, thanks so much for your reply & that link - hadn’t seen that before, it’s not obviously linked within MySteinberg. ![]() I’m not someone official, but this page on the Steinberg website makes this pretty clear. The dongle allows you to use Dorico on as many computers as you like, but not simultaneously. You can bind your license to one computer, via the Soft eLicenser, or you can put your license on the eLicenser USB dongle. ![]()
