eLicenser

Submitted by lis0r on #1

Hi,

Sorry if this is a common question, but I found no conclusive answer. Should Steinberg eLicensers work with VirtualHere?

My new macbook only has USB C, so I was hoping this would be a convenient solution. It's not working, but I don't want to spend a lot of time debugging my Ubuntu server or my mac client if there's no chance of it working anyway.

Thanks!

Lisa

I just posted in another older thread before I decided to do a search on "Steinberg" (duh). You say it should work now? I am not having much luck.

I have successfully installed on VH USB Server on my windows server 2012 conected to my home network and gave permission to go thru firewall. I plugged the elicenser into this machine.

I then installed client on my macbook pro running 10.11.6. The elicenser shows up in vh client on my mbp and it says (in use by you) Seems like everything is good but...

When I open eLicenser control center I get:

eLicenser Control - Error
Application LCC2 has caused the following error:
Connection to protection device lost

along with the option to help (- not helpful)
connect a valid e-Licenser and click retry
or cancel

When I open cubase it also reports that there is no licenser.

Thoughts? I am buying immediately as soon as I can see this works.

You need to use osx 10.12.1 or later as the client, virtualhere wont work on 10.11.

For the time being try installing 3.0.9 of the server (download from here https://www.virtualhere.com/3.0.9) that will work with the elicener + windows (+ osx)

There seems to be a regression bug between 3.0.9 and the latest version that im trying to fix at the moment...

I dont see vhusbdwin64.exe in that directory and all links give me access denied when I click on them. We are so close, I cant wait to purchase and add my iLok.

ok, vhusbdwin64.exe should be there now, try it with your elicenser first and see if the problem is fixed

I fixed the bug in the latest server preventing the elicenser from working with a windows client. Can you download the latest server. Let me know if you are having issues with your ilok and your elicenser...

Need to reinstall on Windows 2012 server but the link you supplied above to 3.09 package no longer works. I tried latest but not working as I am just getting "Connecting to USB hub..."

That fix was put in the latest build, so I think you might have a firewall or network issue instead
