However, I would like some more travel-friendly option. I’ll take the dongle over the other DAWs, any day of the week and have for the last 10 years of using Cubase. There are reasons I don’t use them, and they are reason enough such that I am willing to deal with the dongle. If you don’t like the dongle, you can change the DAW. This is indeed the most annoying part of the program, there must be some sort of alternative. And now I’m am a hardcore supporter of your products, and will probably use Cubase for a lifetime. Steinberg, if it wasn’t for piracy, I would have never used Cubase in the first place. And if I lost or damaged it while I was out of town, I would be completely out of commission until I am able to somehow prove that I indeed own the software and am not trying to steal another copy. It’s basically a $1000 USB stick, super easy to lose or damage. It’s so frustrating having to take the dongle with me when I travel. I would love to see this damn thing go as well. Thus making these dumba$s dongles absolutely MOOT.ĭoubt it, did you verify this yourself? It’s probably a fake/virus.Įdit the pro/artist versions are what haven’t/can’t be cracked, it’s the elements version that can be cracked because it doesn’t require dongle. Complete working versions have been cracked and on various sites since 9.5 I do believe. There’s a completely working cracked 10.5 Pro on sites. After a year of using new laptop I have mechanical issues on both regular USB 3.0 ports, but USB-C 3.1 isn’t usable at all - with the adapter it doesn’t have a strong connection.Īctually, I don’t think Cubase has been cracked since what? 5? I think 5 or 4 was the last cracked version. We put it in and out every day many times. No one hold USB dongle in laptop’s USB port. Remember do this, then this and only then you can be yourself and create music. We should do things that makes us a robot. Any error around this kills any creative process. It is very annoying to remember to put something in USB port if I need to fix a new idea. And pirate sites offers advertising of another things not related to pirate stuff, so their business is connected to any of us anyway. There always will be a troll in cave who just for a sport will crack any software and spread across the world. It’s so simple - if something invented by human it always can be reverse-engineered by human. There always will be pirates whenever and whatever antipiracy technology invented.
