Nice thing about software based is that it can be exported to various machines (net / email / floppy/ whatever), so you can take a license on a trip. I come from 3dsmax, where there is a licensing and security feature, but it's software based and not a physical dongle. Thanks for all the replies to my question guys.
How does the new Soundforge or Audition stack up against it? Or. They don't have an edge anymore, with so many alternatives.

It would be interesting to see what would happen to all the Steinberg Windows users if they realized that, though perhaps with a different workflow, you can accomplish everything Steinberg can WITHOUT a dongle.
Personally, I vote for companies with what they understand. There are threads every couple of days about how horrible it is, usually with comments from the third group of people reminding them that it's a pointless debate at Steinberg, and to just give up about it. My favorite thing about having used Cubase and watching their forum was realizing that, other than the few LOUD people who are control freak policing their forum for them (including the moderators), the vast majority of Steinberg users HATE the dongle. They're too fragile and paranoid a company for my tastes. They mismanage it at best, and get hurt when you get mad about having licensed software you can't use.

I mean, I had issues with an incorrect serial number which took several days to settle, and others have had issues with upgrading licenses, and others have had issues with incorrect instructions about which number to input, and don't even mention the poor souls whose dongle gets stolen or lost. It would be nice if I trusted them to implement the dongle correctly, but I don't. you've got to use it for all things Steinberg (at least, for Cubase SL & SX you do), and they treat everyone without one as a criminal. I wouldn't object to the dongle nearly as much if it wasn't their mark of the beast. I've been, as probably some of you have been, on the Cubase side of life, now converted fully to Sonar. I am in the market for a nice audio editor, and liked that Wavelab up 'til finding this out. Supporting these tactics is out of the question.īummer. This is total crap (especially for a $600 program and even more because it would be so easy for Steinberg to check to see if you are legit).

But the real kick in the groin from Steinberg is that IF you do lose it, they WON"T REPLACE IT! You are out of luck and have to buy the whole program again (not even upgrade price or a discount). Now, that is not so much of a problem if you are extreamly carefull (which I am). When you travel a lot, this becomes an issue. The biggest problem for me is that I have to think about (and keep track of) another (very easy to lose) piece of gear. perhaps Steinberg does things differently from others. If anyone has an answer, I'd appreciate being filled in. It's been my understanding that the dongles used for other software could travel from system to system, so it should pose no problem for someone using just 1 system at a time.

can't you just install the software on a workstation and laptop and move the dongle to the system that needs the license? Or is the dongle linked to a system somehow? Out of curiosity, why is a dongle a problem. I just don't think I can do the dongle thing. Don't mean to be maudlin but I simply won't be able to keep doing what I do. But I'm stunned by how sad I am right now. Philippe has been nothing short of exemplary with his technical support as well. It's also made my life a bit easier, more efficient and more enjoyable by allowing me to work on different systems. For years I tell people that it's my idea of how all software should be written. Glad I found some new plug-ins made by others. More than three weeks later (holidays notwithstanding), three followup emails later, and I still haven't heard from them. Said it was registered to someone else! I ended up having to scan the damn dongle, convert to PDF, and email the thing to Waves to prove my ownership. Long distance calls and time spent, they didn't have one of my dongles in their system. Just before Christmas I developed a prob with one of two Waves dongles so they couldn't get me upgraded to a newer version. It uses no copyright protection and the last time I looked, Cakewalk was a hugely successful company. Do I trust myself to not forget the dongle at the last place I was at? Not a chance in hell.Īfter using some form of Cubase since, I think, 1990 (Cuebeat on an Atari ST) I believe I've had enough. In any event, am I the only person that regularly works at more than one computer? Aside from the defective dongle concern, I not only spend time in my studio but I'd go crazy if I couldn't work at home, or on my laptop, or in the meeting room. I had to pay for my second backup dongle for Cubase. My view and anecdote, FWIW, on the dongle thing as expressed in the WaveLab forum:
