I am guessing next year with Cubase 12 .elxsound wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:05 pm Any new rumors on the timing of changes? I'm considering buying in their current sale, but of course, you still need a dongle for right now, which just seems strange considering the "announcement" they've already made.
I did read that it looks like it'll be a c/r like adobe or Microsoft, but I'm curious about when.
I hope it won't require upgrading, I've recently switched to Bitwig (after waiting 26 years for Steinberg to finally exploit the possibilities of a digital music production system, instead of simply emulating yesterday's hardware paradigm).ozinga wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:10 pmI am guessing next year with Cubase 12 .elxsound wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:05 pm Any new rumors on the timing of changes?

I doubt it will, if it will happen before the next major version. After all, they said that ALL the supported (i.e. the ones they are still selling) products will benefit from the new authorization system. That includes the products I have from them (hopefully).cptgone wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 3:22 pmI hope it won't require upgradingozinga wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:10 pmI am guessing next year with Cubase 12 .elxsound wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:05 pm Any new rumors on the timing of changes?

What I mean is it might be ready by then ( both for 12 and older versions) as they are still at the investigation stage according to their announcements and not much time left for 11.5.chk071 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 3:29 pmI doubt it will, if it will happen before the next major version.

Not sure with Cubase though. If it really happens next year, and Cubase 12 has been released by then, I would think that it requires you to update, if you're still on version 11. Because, they won't sell Cubase 11 anymore then.
I'm pretty sure the dongle won't be a big problem, when you purchase a product which costs - 582 € for Cubase Pro; 502 € for Wavelab Pro; or 1.000 € for Nuendo. If it then happens that the authorizations switches to a non-dongle solution, your biggest issue will be a piece of plastic in the wastebin.elxsound wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 5:38 pm Well, I might as well wait for the next sale then. I don't like the idea of buying a dongle that they know will become obsolete. That just doesn't make sense.
If by miracle, they update their plan before May 2nd I'll buy in, but I'm guessing that won't happen since there will be lots of angry new users that were just forced to buy the dongle.
