I've botton one copy of cubase sx with my brother to do recordings with and we have two computers. We are working together i'm in berkeley he's in sac, emailing mp3 and would like to use the same program. We have one purchassed version(600$) of cubase sx and would like to use it on my computer aswell.
I see that you can buy more dongles on ebay but the seller dosen't know how to use the same program on two computers with dongles(sounds kinda shady). Are there licencing issuse with this. How do you do this if possible? thanks so much

Turnkey are selling steinberg dongles too for £19.99...

http://www.turnkey.co.uk/web/productAction...rg&model=Dongle

they have no licenses attached to them.. in other words they are useless. - You have to download a license to them.

So you could buy a second dongle and transfer your cubase license to your new dongle. This would make your old dongle useless. You might want to do this if your dongle is about to fall apart or something like that.

It is the license on the dongle that lets you use Cubase, not just the dongle itself. You would buy one of these blank dongles if you were upgrading a steinberg product that came with no dongle to a version that requires a dongle.. i.e. Wavelab 6 requires a dongle, whereas Wavelab 5 did not. If you upgrade from Wavelab 5 to 6, then you will need to purchase a blank dongle to store your Wavelab 6 license on.

The dongles sold on Ebay are probably the same as the blank ones that Turnkey are selling.
