Open the eLicense Control Center (eLCC) software and make a note of your Soft-eLicenser

License Database."

the link does not work, copy and paste the link into your browser's address bar.

Log in to your MySteinberg account, and click on "Activation & Reactivation", choose "Cubase
LE 5" and select "Permanent Activation". Enter your Soft-eLicenser and choose your hardware
manufacturer.
8.
You will receive an email containing the activation code.
9.
Launch the eLicenser Control Center software. Click the "Enter Activation Code" button to
download the license for your Steinberg product to the Soft-eLicenser. Enter the required
