I appreciate your link, I’m familiar with that process. However, others here will have a deeper knowledge of any pitfalls than I do. I have a faint recollection that there are no problems interworking between Nuendo 11 and Nuendo 12 so long as you don’t use any version 12-only features. Nevertheless, it seemed best to preserve them just in case. The chances are that I will never need them, as I cannot see any reason to step back from Dorico Pro 4 or Backbone 1.5 to an earlier version.
Had I not done so, I think I would have lost the Dorico Pro and Backbone eLicenser licences. I could see that there was no option on the eLicenser reactivation page on My Steinberg to reactivate the Dorico Pro and Backbone eLicenser licences, so I moved them to the USB eLicenser before reformatting. I recently had to reformat my machine, which had two non-upgradable eLicenser licenses on a soft eLicenser (Dorico Pro 3.5 and Backbone) as well as two on my USB eLicenser (Nuendo 11 and WaveLab Pro 11).
Cubase 9 grace period update#
I don’t think Steinberg has a mechanism to issue non-upgradable eLicenser licences - their position seems to be that you get them only if you carry out an update from an eLicenser version to a Steinberg Licensing version and they cannot issue them in any other circumstances. You are not the first person to hit the problem where a newly purchased or updated licence does not give access to a needed older version. This means you activated as Nuendo 12 on Steinberg Licensing, not on Nuendo 11 on eLicenser with a grace period update to Nuendo 12 on Steinberg Licensing. The rule with Steinberg activations is that you get the latest version at the time you activate, not the version you purchased. Almost certainly Support will refuse your request for a Nuendo 11 licence that is what has happened in other similar cases reported on the forums.
