elicenser Dongle (Two Computers)
« on: March 17, 2013, 04:31:22 pm »
Greetings,

I use my recently purchased V-Collection, primarily, on one main computer (Computer "A"), however from time-to-time I use another computer (Computer "B") from editing patches, etc.  I purchased a Steinberg USB eLicenser and thought that I only need to use it when on "B" and that the soft-eLicense was still active on "B"; am I mistakened? 

I did a "transfer" of my liscense to the USB dongle and when using "A" I get prompted to authorize my product.  I thought that I read somewhere that you would not need to do this but ONLY need the USB for instances where I am using Computer B.  Are my assumptions incorrect or did I follow the incorrect process when I "transferred" my license to the dongle.  If I followed the incorrect process how do I "transfer" the license back to the original computer (Computer A), meaning take it off the USB dongle entirely (thus going back to the original state).

Is there a workaround that maintains the authorization of Computer A, while using the dongle only on Computer B?

NOTE: My USB ports are on the back of Computer A and it is a physical challenge to readily get access to this area due to wiring, etc.  Thus if I must go back and forth, I'd rather just have the software authorized on Computer A.  I have a bad back which is the only reason why I need to use the secondary computer in the first place.

Hello Dhardway,

The license is stored on the dongle so you would need to the USB plugged into whatever computer you are working on.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Rebecca
