Cubase 11 pro upgrade upgrade#
The eLicenser licence will be ‘upgraded’ from “Cubase 11 Pro” to “Cubase 11 Pro (upgraded to Cubase 12 with Steinberg Licensing)” as part of that upgrade - this is intended to signify that the licence cannot be further upgraded. I suspect you will not be able to crossgrade the Cubase 11 licence once it has been upgraded to Cubase 12. If the day comes when you realize that you no longer need Cubase because Nuendo does everything you need and more, you could always resale your Cubase license.

That way you keep your Cubase 11 license in your Dongle, and you also keep your Cubase 12 license active for future updates.
Cubase 11 pro upgrade update#
So, the best way to go, though the more expensive one, is to first update to Cubase 12 and then crossgrade to Nuendo 12. Cubase 11, the license in the USB-eLicenser will remain active and can be used to open Cubase 11 (and older) indefinitely, but that license can no longer be updated or crossgraded in the future. When crossgrading from an eLicenser-based Cubase version, e.g. (That’s what’s meant by that notice in the shop). The crossgrade to Nuendo is restricted to one per Cubase license though! Applying the crossgrade twice on a single Cubase 12 license is not possible. It wasn’t technically possible to keep both.īut now that’s no longer the case with Steinberg Licensing! Now, if you crossgrade from Cubase 12 to Nuendo 12, you get to keep your Cubase license so in the future, when a newer Cubase version is released, you can keep updating it if you want. In previews versions, the fact that the Cubase license had to be replaced by the Nuendo license when crossgrading, was a technical restriction of the eLicenser. Perhaps this is all a moot point and I wouldn’t lose anything moving from Cubase to Nuendo?Ĭan Cubase load Nuendo projects? I’m assuming Nuendo can load Cubase projects. Perhaps it’s just that because of the new licensing method, older versions of Cubase manage to sneak through? I’m wondering if in fact nothing has changed and the Cubase 12 license is deleted. Does it? If so, will I be able to upgrade Cubase in the future? No mention of Cubase 12 remaining active. This crossgrade only applies once to a single Cubase license. Unless my memory is failing me, this is a change from the previous situation where Cubase would no longer function. Note that after the crossgrade, the Cubase license remains active but is no longer eligible for upgrading. Looking at the crossgrade options, the crossgrade from Cubase 11 says this: I’m currently on Cubase 11 and with the release of Nuendo 12 with some new features that interest me I’m revisiting the situation.

I’ve been thinking about getting Nuendo for quite some time, but the prospect of losing my Cubase Pro license has stopped me from doing it.
